8 dumb phones that are actually smart purchases in this day and age

As dumb phones gain popularity, here are 8 great models you can invest in if you're in the market for one right now. Some of these are merely functional, while others are more design-focused - and one specific model is poised to launch later this year.

Some of the mentioned apps for KaiOS under the Nokia 6300 are no longer supported

I've had my Jelly Star for just shy of two years now & I absolutely love it. It's amazing what they packed into such a small device.  I'm looking forward to the next one (and no, I don't consider the "Jelly Max" - with it's 5 inch screen and removed headphone jack - to be a proper successor). My wishlist includes just 5G support, better camera - including the software driving it, and a user-replaceable battery would be nice (or at least a larger capacity one since I'm probably still a heavier user than was intended).  Otherwise it was damn near perfect!

Some months after they released the Jelly Star, they also released a "Tank Mini" which had a 4.3" screen, a second programmable button, more RAM, and a battery nearly 3x the Jelly Star's capacity.  Had I known that was in the works, I'd probably have gotten that instead since I'm such a heavy user, but don't like big phones.  Still love the JS, tho - it's incredibly capable for something smaller than even a "communicator" from the original Star Trek show.

Oh, and a higher resolution screen would be good, too - some apps just don't play well with low-res screens.
