Dumb Phones are Making a Comeback

A person could have a very basic cell-phone as their actual phone & text device with a SIM_card, then have a smartphone for video and free Wi-Fi access. 

Several people like to have a Dual_SIM in their smartphone, but some people might like to have a sim card in 2 phones.

Instead of carrying around 2 nice & big smartphones, one of them could be a basic cell-phone.

Some people will carry a portable-charger or a power-bank with them to recharge their smartphone late in the day when away from home. Of course a basic cell-phone will last throughout the day.

However, by just having a basic phone for calls and texting, then they could still have a smartphone for pictures, video and web browsing. Thus, by doing that will likely reduce the need to always carry a portable-charger.

At the end of the day, some people will always prefer to have their all in one smartphone, but some people will just want to have a basic cell-phone.
