Not all phones are smartphones. Theres still plenty of use cases for call/sms only phones.
And they don't support anything higher than 3G, which will go in history in a few years... and then the only thing you can use them for is a paper weight.
Bollocks. Nokia 800 tough, 2660 flip, 2720 flip, 225 4g, 6300 4g, 8000 4g - just from one manufacturer, and there's plenty of others.
They're called burner phones. No real OS on them, no upgrade path, nothing. You wanna make phone calls and send SMS, that's fine, but let's face it, most people nowadays don't use phones just for that.
