Forget about cell phones. Is there a calculator you have around that gets turned on at least say twice a week, which isn't often at all clearly. I pulled out my old HP 49g (x2) recently, even bought cheapo batteries as I didn't feel like searching for rechargeables. It's utterly unusable imho. Not interested, though I still love the appearance. About 3 weeks ago I ordered a 39g+ iirc from aliexperss, similar in appearance (both blue), and although it may not have all the utility of a 50g (sold mine years ago), it has a similar processor. I actually ordered another calculator, the 39GII iirc, but mysteriously the order got cancelled.
It seems at this point calculators aren't going anywhere, despite people saying they don't use them anymore. The nice thing, at least over a cell phone app, is you get to press actual buttons. But even calculators come with touch screens these days (HP Prime, any TI have it yet?). I also have a Prime, but as I tend to be something of a brute it remains hidden and protected most of the time. Not something you necessarily want to use from day to day. But that's me.
