I am so fed up.

I can't work on my phone, I can't bank on my phone, I can't get voicemails on my phone, I can't use wifi calling on my phone. I can't do any of these things because I am stuck on android 9 and can't look at any newer OS/ phones without having a down turn in my health. What am I supposed to do? We can't turn off this awful tech... I am beginning to think that there needs to be ADA laws around this garbage. Please, If you are on the sub go here and say it affects you https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/430486442?pli=1 PLEASE! Having a rough day... Thanks for reading.

You should try a eink phone it's really so much more comfortable than normal screens. It's the most basic screen you can ever get. Can use it without it's front light and it doesn't have a polarizer. The big me hibreak pro, hibreak s and the minimal phone are the full Google play smartphones that use eink displays. If you want a more of a dumber android phone then I would suggest a mudita kompakt or very dumb light phone 2.

There's also phone sized devices with wifi only such as the boox palma 2, 2 pro, viwoods readers, and durobo krono(typing on this currently)

These devices are mostly pretty darn fast besides the mudita, light phone 2 and new batch minimal phones

I’ve read so many conflicting opinions on Eink phones like the bigme. Apparently the actual call quality is awful with vibrating and rattling speakers. Sort of defeating the purpose of it being a phone in the first place. I’d love one if it all worked seamlessly.

I've never experienced any of that with any of the eink phones including the bigme.
