I'm not gonna lie, this "dumb phone" is awkwardly close to how my daily driver has looked for the better part of a decade.

How is it dumb if it is running LOS?

Lmao "I didn't install the Google Play Store so my phone is now a minimalist dumbphone" ????

Probably "dumb" in the sense it doesm't actively spy on you. Which is a god-awful definition of dumb.

Personally, I'd go with non-malicious, shortened to non-mal which basically loops back to "normal".
