Are there any 5G feature phone out there?

Question

I'd like to decouple phone and "pocket computer", for both security and "digital hygiene" reasons.So far, feature phones I could find are 4G at best. Though I definitely thought there'd be a market for connection sharing capable 5G feature phones. Am I alone?

I follow this market a little, and haven't seen one yet. The brands I'd check would be Nokia and Doro. There was a company making small power bank and feature phone combo but I can't remember the name.It might be more fruitful to look at mobile broadband hotspots or whatever they're being called now. Could imagine a 5g one of those would be more likely?

There's not, that I'm aware of, at least in the US market.
And using a feature phone for security reasons is laughable. Feature phones are notoriously insecure.
If you need tethering, just use a 5G hotspot.

Why are we using the term &ldquo;feature phone&rdquo; to describe phones that have unusually few features?
