Feature phones are making a comeback – is this just a fad or a genuine market trend pushing back against all-consuming smartphones? The term "feature phone" remains murky, but GSMArena defines them as phones that deliberately restrict capabilities.

Some run proprietary OS like recent Nokia-branded AI feature phones from HMD, others use locked-down Android for a "distraction-free" experience. Models include the Nokia 210 4G, Nokia 215 4G 2nd Edition, Nokia 235 4G 2nd Edition, and HMD Asha 305. Others like the Light Phone III, Sidephone, Qin F22 Pro, and Mudita Kompakt offer minimalistic displays and physical keypads.

The goal is curing digital addiction caused by large screens, powerful chipsets, and fast data. You won't be doomscrolling TikTok on these devices. Do you use a feature phone? Would you? And why – to cure digital addiction or other reasons?
