I got tired of my smartphone ruining my focus, so I researched dumb phones and turned it into a hobby site

A few months ago I was fed up with constant notifications and endless scrolling. I started searching for dumb phones — simple devices that just make calls and texts without the apps and addiction.

What started as a quick search turned into weeks of research. I compared models from around the world, read user experiences, and tested a couple myself. The difference in focus, sleep, and real-life presence is actually noticeable.

Instead of keeping all the notes to myself, I built dumbphone.in as a hobby project — honest reviews, comparisons, and recommendations for the best dumb phones available right now (2025-2026).

No big company, just one guy who wanted simpler tech and decided to share what I found.

Anyone else here using (or considering) a dumb phone? What’s your experience or biggest hesitation? Which of these phones have you tried and loved/hated?

Would love to hear your thoughts 👇

PS : I’m still using two phones, and still struggling with addiction of the smartphone. But upwards and onwards we go…
