The problem is that, I use skype and whatsapp and my primary contact points and I need these in a basic phone.

If the goal is purely to limit distraction on the device, a lack of maps is another deal-breaker for me on any phone.

Self Control is an art, however my goal is not to limit distraction, but to have a small feature phone ( whatsapp, skype, gps (maps)) and a nice tablet for everything else. The requirements are being met by smartwatches+ smartphones+tablets but that is one too many devices for me.

Whatsapp and Maps (and Assistant) are available on the new KaiOS flip phone: https://www.pcmag.com/review/371112/alcatel-go-flip-3

You can get the prepaid version at Best Buy for like $30.

Take a look at Unihertz Atom - that's my current choice. It is a smartphone that can do it all, but has an annoyingly tiny screen so you won't sit on it for life.

Do you have any issues with its battery life or apps not fitting on screen ?

Nothing blocking right now - The battery lasts over a day.

Some apps are weird, but you get used to it.
