I forget the model but my first portable 'phone was a Nokia. I thought it was a 3310; but it was an earlier pattern than that in the photo above.
It lasted some 12 or 15 years before the battery - an encapsulated pack of AAA size cells - expired. Luckily I was able to replace that, but only a year or so later damp penetrated and destroyed the display. Otherwise I would still be using the 'phone, over 20 years after purchasing it.
After a brief waste of time and money with an LG [i]model-some-number[/i] "smart" phone (silly adjective), my present one is a DORO 6520. It's rated as 3G but I am neither sure nor bothered what the [i]x[/i]-G rating really means. It's what I need and want: a voice & text telephone. The LG and similar are selfie-camera/ games-instrument/ portable Internet computers that happen to include telephony in their auxiliary functions.

It is bound to happen. Then humans can stand by and see war break out among the different species.
