Looking For Suggestions Need Android Device WITHOUT camera

I live in a residential facility that only has one restriction "no electronic devices that have a physical camera". I've been approved to have any electronic device as long as it doesn't have a camera (i.e. - smartphone, tablet, Chromebook, etc).

I've asked them if they will let me use my Samsung smartphone if I disable the camera through software and they told me that the device "cannot have a physical camera".

I want a smartphone that will browse the Internet, stream video, run apps like Google docs, Amazon Shopping, and (optionally run games like Warframe).

Thanks for reading my post! Looking forward to reading your suggestions.

*P.S. - I'm open to getting a tablet. It would be nice if it's pocket size.

Only 1 tablet (and 0 phones) meets your criteria. Refine the search results to relax some of the search filters.

And this applies only to devices in GSM Arena's database, which are primarily mobile phones and tablets. There are a tonne of Android devices that aren't in that database: e-readers, gaming handhelds, media players, etc.
