It depends on what you’re looking for, if you feel I don’t want to use my smartphone too often then you can give try to eSIM smartwatch which will do everything for you from calling, massaging, payment and even you can use maps too.

[{"selector":"#anim-8e3c74f6-8e67-4514-8015-d2d466ee919f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5e81ea67-b8fe-479d-a3d8-bef63c366c38","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.12751%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
