Try the Cat B26 phone. Nokia 3210 size, 4G + Wifi. KaiOS. T9 interface. Cutdown WhatsApp, cutdown Google Maps. Dual SIM. Can act as a 4G hotspot. Certified water and dust proof. Weeks long battery. 65€.

Very solid devices for cutting back internet dépendance or for traveling without but still having the basics.

This one[1]? It says it's only 2G GSM?

Probably U.S. speeds. But it may be a European phone.

Try looking up other KaiOS phones. There aren't many.

oh it's by that Cat; Caterpillar, the one that does construction machinery. Out of curiosity, what's the battery tech? LiFePO? LTO?

I'd imagine heat tolerance and impact resilience would be more important than slimness and lightweight for these devices if they're intended to be used like say, at a foundry.
