Does this perfect phone exist? KaiOS, Punkt

Recent news about marrying essential smartphone technology with the indestructible, everlasting-battery phones of old has got me thinking.

I would love to find a phone that meets these criteria:

  • Can run Google Maps, or tether 4G to a device that can (e.g. portable laptop)
  • Can run Facebook Messenger, or tether
  • Can stream music (e.g. from Spotify or Amazon Music), *without* tethering
  • Can send/receive SMS
  • Can send/receive phone calls
  • Battery lasts for days
  • Simple, ultra-durable hardware

The ones that I've been able to find are:

  • The Punkt Phone. Can't play music though, and very expensive/hipster-y for what it is.
  • KaiOS Phones. This looks like the perfect option, but recent reviews are pretty bad especially for non-Asian markets.

If anyone has any reviews or opinions on the above I'd be appreciative too.
