Why this beats your phone

There is genuinely nothing to scroll on it. If you want the experiment to be cheap, this is where you start.

The full picture

A classic clamshell feature phone with physical buttons, a small outer display for missed calls and the time, and basic 4G calling and texting. It has a camera and Bluetooth but no app store and no browser worth using. This is the pick for anyone who wants to try going phone free for a weekend, a trip, or longer, without spending much to find out if it works for them.
