The problem is many government and need-to-live-comfortably services tend to require a non-dumb phone, and the number of services is only increasing

a tablet at home for "need-to-live-comfortably services" and a dumbPhone in your pocket

a solution some people already chose

Fantastic until entering your workplace needs a nfc phone tap and app

I actually keep an old used smartphone for just these sorts of things.

I am planning on getting a small tablet to handle this. But, that will be a problem for a much richer MXX53.
