My smartphone benefits over a feature phone:
1: Messaging groups with friends through various apps.
2: GPS guidance while driving.
3: Built in phonebook / addressbook of local businesses.
4: Email access anywhere, useful to access tickets to events or return codes / receipts when needed.
5: High Quality camera always available.
6: Access to NOSTR.
7: Able to pay businesses with a lightning wallet.
8: Able to do personal banking on the go. Quickly check balances, do transfers, and make payments.
9: Access streaming music/videos anywhere.
And more I'm sure that I'm not thinking of. For me, a smartphone is much more useful than a feature phone. But I do think I'll implement the do not disturb mode.
