Minimal Is A Smartphone With A Physical Keyboard And An E-Ink Screen

 

There have been several attempts to bring back the era of physical keyboards on modern smartphones but they all ended in failures like the Blackberry Ket 2. But for those who still believe there is still room for a device like this in 2024, Minimal is the device to buy.

Minimal was developed to combat the addiction of using smart devices which is getting serious now. The E-Ink screen used will make the device unsuitable for watching videos that will cure the addiction of watching TikTok endlessly. But it can still be used to read books and websites. Because of the use of this screen, Minimal can last a long time even if it is only equipped with a 4000 mAh battery.

There is no information on the specifications of Minimal at this time except that it uses the Android-based MnmlOS operating system. There are apps for phone calls, messaging, calendars, notes and even Uber available. For those interested, Minimal will be sold at a price of $400 (~RM1891) starting next month.
