    Funnily enough, I’m 100 % in the same situation like you. Same switching back and forth between the same two devices. Same lack of options afterwards. I’m so out of options I’m even looking into a weird chinese/Hong Kong device named Unihertz Jelly Star. I’m not sure about the screen size though. 3" is a whole inch smaller than an iPhone SE 2016. That’s damn small, even to my standards

      I had a Jelly 2, which came before the Jelly Star. It was pretty dang small. I would have been happier with it if the dang thing didn’t drop wifi and Bluetooth every five minutes. If the Jelly Star has the same antenna, I’d steer clear!

      I believe there is a phone called the Retro, which is an old Razor style flip phone, but it only has the screen on the top, and is quite small, and relatively cheap. Not sure about availability though.

      I’ve looked at the Unihertz phones quite a bit, but the cell bands and camera have stopped me so far. Your Lemmy instance implies that you’re in the EU, so you should give it a shot if you can stomach the crappy camera. I’m afraid no Unihertz phone has IMS or voLTE support in the USA, so it’s an open question if you’ll even be able to use them at all on our networks in a year or two :(
