A few still exist, like a nokia, but at this point cheap second hand android is often cheaper. Though their battery life is usually worse even new as android seems to take a lot more power.

Yes Android is basically a laptop in your pocket, dumb phones used to last a week on a charge. Though the main thing I miss is that the alarm would still go off even if the battery went flat 😅
