I've just abandoned using a smartphone in favor of a $20 dumb Alcatel phone that can only do three things: calls, alarms, and an FM radio. It doesn't even vibrate.

I offloaded every other functional use into my tablet, in this case an iPad Pro.

The phone battery lasts for days on standby; I can drain my tablet battery without concern. I can leave the tablet at home if I want to stay light or if I want to stay focused on my activity.

I've been doing this for two weeks now, and I most likely will not change back.
