I honestly wouldn't want to live without my smartphone. I owned an iPhone 6 Plus before and I didn't really like the design of that line (6, 6s, 7, 8 are basically the same design). But I love my iPhone X to bits and I've owned it for more than four months now. My smartphone is my GPS, camera, video player, sometimes E-Book reader, phone, etc. all in one. Most phones these days easily have enough space for a truckload of stuff (my storage is only 50% full and I own the smallest 64gb version) and my old iPhone ran fine after three years of use. The phone was expensive but I pay only 7.99 monthly for internet and calls / SMS.
I understand smartphones can be annoying and stealing time, but really you just have to use them right: I only have a handful of apps installed and don't feel the need to instantly text or call back people. The battery lasts 3-4 days on a single charge for me and the iPhone X doesn't exactly have the best battery life on the market.
