Re: non-smart debian phone

there is nothing running debian out there AFAIK. The cheap phones without
touch screen run something like KAI OS.
There might be something around SailfishOS Community, that would be open
source, but I don't remember exactly.
AFAI Kai OS was the mozilla mobile project that got further developed by
Google, but it is not Android, so you have limitations.

The SM-J337A is an Android phone. If you are sick of Android, take a look at
jolla.com and Sailfish OS. It still has some limitations compared to
Android, but it can not be compared at all as it is completely different
approach (IMO of course). I jumped on it after the N9, which was running
debian, retired. 
It is effort to put Sailfish on it, but once there it is OK. Again there are
some issues, so educate yourself if you go this way or the other.
