One good compromise is to get a Sony Z5 Compact and enable Ultra Stamina mode. Switches off most smartphone features, keeps 20 Mp camera, gets you a week of battery life etc in a compact, waterproof case.
Very cheap second hand now.

A phone with the processing power to be an amazing camera is going to have a hard time not packing on "smartphone" features.

Would also reduce the 1 month battery life :)
It's been a good reason to bring the old DSLR back out.
When I really think about it, the camera is likely what I'd miss most. That's the true convenience offered by a smartphone.
I imagine if someone released a new dumb phone that happened to have an amazing camera onboard, it would generate substantial interest.
