I recently purchased PinePhone.
It is not consumer phone, it's in development stage - so for many people I think it would be too rough.
But for me it's brilliant. I am only making calls, texts and occasionally taking a photo. I don't need any productivity software (not even email). I am experimenting with "de-smartphoning" myself - I found myself constantly distracted even by presence of my phone. And now I'm calm :)
