I wish I could buy a dumb phone which would nonetheless have a great camera. No browser, no email, no apps, god forbid. Maybe also support for Signal instead of SMS. I know it’s not going to happen, but one can dream.

If you have self discipline like a god, you could achieve this with any smartphone. Remove every app, just install Signal and keep the camera app.

But almost no one has the willpower to do this, unfortunately.

Can parental controls help in this case?

Seems like you just want a regular camera at this point

I have a regular camera. No phone-sized "regular camera" is anywhere near the quality of a phone.
