Get a pocket pc, probably. And only use the phone for what strictly requires it.
It'll likely end up being more comfortable from a usability standpoint than it is now anyway.
What are good pocket PCs running linux?
I had a Nokia N900 and now own a Gemini PDA running Sailfish and it is quite nice to have a programmable device wit a physical keyboard (it runs Python, Guile, and cross-compiled Rust CLI programs). A small PC running waydroid would be fantastic.
I was thinking of something like the Piccolo. But I admit I absolutely haven't researched that market. So I don't really know what's available.
Not many good options out there but will likely change as Google destroys android and creates a market space for these types of devices.
