I wouldn't mind a dumb phone, but I'd need it to have whatsapp at the very least, otherwise I'll be "that incommunicable weirdo"

I would miss Google maps too.

I'd love a cool gimmicky phone that flips open or whatever, and has a small screen or a really bad frame rate. Just to discourage me using YouTube and social media.

I just don't know what I would use to navigate around

If you'd buy the cheapest of the cheapest, you'll probably get terrible performance. So that sort of works.
