The Minimal Phone presents a unique take on the 'dumbphone' market by offering an Android device with an E Ink display and physical keyboard while providing access to apps. Its hardware includes a MediaTek Helio G99 processor and various storage options. However, the low-resolution display hampers usability, especially for visually intensive apps, making it less appealing for activities like video watching. This design choice encourages users to engage with simpler tasks like reading or audiobooks, highlighting the value of minimalism in a smartphone experience.
The Minimal Phone creatively restricts smartphone excesses by transforming app use into an unpleasant experience, effectively directing users towards e-reading and audiobooks.
Its hardware capabilities are strong, yet they are stunted by the low-resolution E Ink display, making complex visuals a frustrating ordeal.
