I just got a Google Pixel, after a few years on Samsung devices. I've rooted a few times in the past and just went through the process again. When I have a rooted smartphone I really feel like I have a mini computer in my pocket, otherwise it feels like I have this fancy content consumption and notification tool.
I've gone for many month stretches with no phone, and learned to live the old fashioned way again. Arrange meetings, look up directions before leaving, etc. This tended to give me problems in my marriage though as I wasn't available to be contacted while I was out. I was considering a "dumb phone", but I enjoy using slack and having my work calendar available to me, otherwise I will forget meetings.
