It will involve minimalist features, like minimalist horsepower and screen size.

Quite minimal phone-only phones do exist, like Punkt MP 101, or more conventional phones, especially kids-oriented.

I had a Moto F3 for a while and the battery lasted forever but the lack of features was sort of brutal: the screen was e-ink but only an 8-segment display one so it was impossible to see things like unicode characters and even distinguish between capital and regular case sometimes. This seems a nice balance between that and a smartphone.

Edit: I got my Moto F3 for 20 bucks, the Punkt is 229. Nope.
