I like my Flip Phone. I figured out how to delete text messages that it receives without reading them. My wife and daughter know how to send a text to it. Write it down on a Sticky Note and flip the phone shut around it.

I think that one is aiming for the AARP/Jitterbug demographics as opposed to the 'foldable' type designs.

I really would like to have an old-style flip phone...AND a smart phone that could both be active so I could choose the flip when I want to be reachable, but without the distractions that I THINK are inherent (because sometimes if it's there, you just use it)
That's what the RAZR is purported to be; a small screen on the outside of the clamshell when it is closed for quick stuff and then the bigger 'full' screen when opened.
Another alternative would be a "smart watch"; even my Fitbit Versa shows me incoming calls & SMS messages and I can do quick canned responses from it.

I've got that kind of set up with T-Mobile. They were the only one of the major carriers that would let me do that. I have an iPhone 11 for business or whenever else I think it'll be useful. Then I have an Alcatel flip phone (that actually uses LTE not 2G or 3G) for when I want to travel light and only want to talk or text. 10 extra dollars a month over my $35 a month unlimited call/text/data plan. When someone dials my number, either phone can ring.
In the year 2020- Listening to Steve Miller more than likely qualifies you for AARP. Listening to Glenn Miller - makes you a real survivor.
