That's an elegant design right there. At least it's different and it has its own personality. I also use an old phone with an outdated Android, but what matters is that your apps still get updates, including the web browser, web engine, and other stuff from Google.

If you desperately want a keyboard you can also consider the Unihertz Titan, Titan Slim, or Titan Pocket. They come with Android 10 or 11, which is probably their only advantage over the Key2. Otherwise, the build quality is mediocre, their chipsets are quite slow these days, the software has none of the in-built Blackberry suite features present on the Key2, and the Titan Slim even has the audacity to have no headphone jack.
