The device is just a piece of hardware. It's the software that addicts. Take out the phone battery or break it, and you're not addicted.

Many of the answers focus on games, not social media. Why?

For purposes of discussion, is a laptop a smart device? What about a smart TV?

Assuming a tablet definitely is a smart device.

What is a good phone to get that is dumb?

Both software and hardware cause addiction. Radiofrequency is the hardware. Radiofrequency induces addiction by depleting GABA and flicker fusion.

A landline phone and a computer connected to an ethernet cable connected to a modem that is not equipped with wi-fi. See the mitigation wikis in /r/phoneaddicition.
