Looking for a compact camera (sopuli.xyz)

Hey so I'm looking for some recommendations for a compact camera. Ideally one that is actually compact and fits in your pocket. Of course I want to get decent quality pictures out of it but nothing crazy.

I don't know anything about photography. Just want to point and shoot, the same way I use my Samsung Galaxy phone currently.

My budget is around 300€ (can stretch a bit).

The context is I want to switch my smartphone for a dumphone, but I still want a camera to take to trips and stuff. Thanks in advance for suggestions!

Edit: Just to clarify, the pictures don't have to be as good as a Galaxy S25, but still ideally decent quality as I said.

Sorry maybe I wasn't clear, I want to switch to a dumbphone, so standalone camera is what I'm after. I edited the post now

Get a dumbphone, so that problem is solved. Then take the sim card out of your smartphone, put it in airplane mode with location turned off - boom, free camera!
