I don’t really pre-order anything out of principle, but I will not hesitate to order this as soon as I get to read/watch som real user reviews. I’ve been wanting a phone like this for a while now.
OMG, I love it, I love it, I love it ❤ What a beautiful thing, thank you for this fantastic job and thank you also for this video. I hope, this will be my first, but not my last minimal phone
OK, OK Ngl it... it's beautiful damn 😳 Also I wasn't expecting the side finger print scanner and the USB c to usb c charger. I'll be interested in seeing where this goes. 🤔
I really like the idea of this phone, not because I'm opposed to technology/digital world, or because I'm addicted to social media, but because I find it aesthetically pleasing. I've always enjoyed the golden age of cinema with its black and white movies, and the same thing with photography.
The only way I wouldn't be throwing this phone against the wall is if I had it on ultra refresh mode the whole time. I wonder how much more of a hit on the battery it is to keep it on Ultra?
@@iGareBEARR if you take away the display this phone is literally any phone with a physical keyboard - just buy one of those. The display curbs scrolling through socials or binging videos
@ I’m talking about the annoyance in slow refresh with ANY task. Looks annoying to even reply to a text message. Plus there’s no other physical keyboard phone running the latest OS
Lovely little thang. Cannot wait to get mine. Thanks to the Minimal Team for getting this done in less than a year. Doubters can now go to the minimal site to purchase their own and get in April, right Andre?
What a great phone. In my opinion, It removes the distractions, social media adiction, and helps you focus on important things, like communication (texting, calling) and reading.
@ i’m not looking to take a ton of pictures on it but i sometimes need to conveniently take one and send it on whatsapp for work. i’d get a seperate camera either way.
TAKE MY MONEY!!! 🤑🤑🤑 My initial feedback. Flat surfaces are quite common nowadays because of the iPhone. And because it is actually good to hold. But Damn! That phone is TOO MUCH Boxy and Sharp.
I wish that you have a section in your website that shows what carriers the phone is compatible to. Like the LightPhone 3 it shows that 2 telcos in our country support their phone, hence we can just import it.
Nice unboxing. I'm very interested in this phone, but I can't find any information about supported languages. Will I be able to write Lithuanian, Polish, or German letters with this keyboard?
If I didn't put an offer in on a house today I would absolutely buy this phone. I love my Pixel 9 XL pro, but I think it's time to disconnect from a lot of social media and I like the look of e-ink
Will you send them out to UA-camrs for an independent review? Would assuage a lot of doubt some people have about this product. I personally am not comfortable pre-ordering something unless I see it reviewed by someone I trust (Linus, Marques, goodereader, etc)
@@Ale-gz7ef That doesn’t line up with my understanding of how eink works, or with my personal experience using my eink devices in both dark and light mode. Energy consumption is based on how frequently the screen has to change/refresh, it’s not based on how long the screen has to render dark areas.
Hopefully I'll stop watching videos like this once I get the minimal phone.
I haven’t been this excited about a device in 10 years.
Beautiful, im so glad that I backed this product!
I don’t really pre-order anything out of principle, but I will not hesitate to order this as soon as I get to read/watch som real user reviews. I’ve been wanting a phone like this for a while now.
same same
Yes sir! Thank you Minimal Team. Great to follow along the last year!
Beautiful. Just got my tracking info now cant wait. Nice work. Loved seeing it come to fruition!
Did you get a tracking email or what? Thanks
Share photos when it arrives!!! Please and thank you
How long ago did you order yours?
what backer number were you?
So glad I backed this and super excited to get mine! I haven't been excited about a new phone since the Nokia Lumia 1020 back in 2013.
OMG, I love it, I love it, I love it ❤
What a beautiful thing, thank you for this fantastic job and thank you also for this video. I hope, this will be my first, but not my last minimal phone
So excited for this phone. I've been a die hard BB user for the keyboard and now this. Can't wait for my order to reach home and backing it early!
Epic! 🎉 Congrats getting to market, wishing success and ramp your sales...
Very, very nice work guys! Looking forward to pick mine up when it arrives!
Nice work, looks promising. Would love to see it outdoor!
How phones should be! Stoked to review this
Oh man I can’t wait to hold it in my hands :) looking forward to it very much
> Makes a product intended to stop social media addiction
> First app opened is UA-cam Shorts
Lmao
Old habits kicks in :D but look how fast he closed it
I think it was more to show the responsiveness / refresh speed of the screen, but.. I get your point 😅
That ... Looks so... Awesome. The physical keyboard catches my eye.
Looking forward to getting mine so I can put it through its paces - hopefully soon!! 🤞🏻
OK, OK
Ngl it... it's beautiful damn 😳
Also I wasn't expecting the side finger print scanner and the USB c to usb c charger.
I'll be interested in seeing where this goes. 🤔
Looks incredible! Well done!
LOOKS GREAT. CANT WAIT TO GET MINE IN THE MAIL. 😮
This is so cool, I have order number 4287, can you please tell me when i will get my phone to germany?
This is exactly what I need, eager to get one asap.
Can't wait to get mine. Wondering what the ETAs are on these now that he announced production was complete!
I love the design but it's crazy you wanna pay so much money for a phone with zero capabilities. And the lag alone is so bad
@@DurgaaKaaliDas "zero capabilities" is subjective. come out of the race.
It’s literally fully Android. Basically a smart phone with a screen that stops you wanting to use it too much
I am looking forward to getting mine. It will be a great upgrade from my light phone 2.
refresh mode on ultra is pretty decent!
I can't wait to do this to mine!
it's everything i've ever dreamed of!
This looks awesome - would love to have this and also see the refresh rate while watching UA-cam too if you can make a video on that thanks 😊
I would love to see a device just like this but with Kaleido 3... I know that wouldn't be as minimal, but man it would be so cool!
I really like the idea of this phone, not because I'm opposed to technology/digital world, or because I'm addicted to social media, but because I find it aesthetically pleasing. I've always enjoyed the golden age of cinema with its black and white movies, and the same thing with photography.
So excited to get mine!!
GOOD JOB MINIMAL!! I'm sooo happy this product has been successfully released. Why am I so poor though :(((
Will the minimal phone launcher include the text based theme / UI system on it's OS? Like in the promo photos???
Yes, coming in the next update - mid feb.
This is want i want, an e ink smartphone. So the bluelight doesnt keep destroying my eyes
That looks really nice! I'm already looking forward to my minimal 🤗
The only way I wouldn't be throwing this phone against the wall is if I had it on ultra refresh mode the whole time. I wonder how much more of a hit on the battery it is to keep it on Ultra?
I agree. And why switch it back to slow mode all the time? I’m assuming it drains the battery
The phone is literally meant to give you a poor multimedia experience to curb usage - just get a galaxy or a pixel if you need a high refresh rate
@ I don’t want a headache from a slow refresh rate while trying to stay minimal

@ I’m talking about the annoyance in slow refresh with ANY task. Looks annoying to even reply to a text message. Plus there’s no other physical keyboard phone running the latest OS
overall looks very nice, feeat job. The only thing that would stress me out is the lag on the keyboard input
@@LostStylus me too
Lovely little thang. Cannot wait to get mine. Thanks to the Minimal Team for getting this done in less than a year. Doubters can now go to the minimal site to purchase their own and get in April, right Andre?
Yes, but closer to mid march 🤣
@@MinimalCompany Sorry, put me on your payroll and I will be more accurate. HAH! Proud of the Minimal team, I really am.
Looks awesome, will it be available world wide?
OK, now I'm stoked.
드디어 나왔드아!!!😭😭
What a great phone. In my opinion, It removes the distractions, social media adiction, and helps you focus on important things, like communication (texting, calling) and reading.
can you please show what a picture looks like taken on it? it’s the only thing stopping me from ordering
Consider getting a separate camera and only use the phone in emergencies. You'll stay a lot more focused.
@ i’m not looking to take a ton of pictures on it but i sometimes need to conveniently take one and send it on whatsapp for work. i’d get a seperate camera either way.
Awesome - hope it will be available in Europe soon!
Such an exciting phone! Will this be available in the UK?
Yes, you can order now and it will ship in March.
Looks good, can the keyboard or battery be replaced?
Also wondering this
The thing where the UA-cam shorts were all blurry! well now I am listening
this is a very very cool device. Hopefully the bezels will be smaller and a trackpad could be added so it'll be perfect!
TAKE MY MONEY!!! 🤑🤑🤑
My initial feedback.
Flat surfaces are quite common nowadays because of the iPhone. And because it is actually good to hold.
But Damn! That phone is TOO MUCH Boxy and Sharp.
thats some fast production
I wish that you have a section in your website that shows what carriers the phone is compatible to. Like the LightPhone 3 it shows that 2 telcos in our country support their phone, hence we can just import it.
Congratulations. Next step : please make qwerty phone with normal screen, we really need it!
This may actually push me to pre-order! Iv been waiting to see the final product and it doesn';t look back at all!
I’m sold. Take my money.
thanks a lot for bringing a Mobile Phone with Qwerty it is seem to be a perfect
That first scroll of the TOS was concerning, but changing the refresh from Slow looks like it makes a huge difference
Can you change the homescreen display to not have the app logos, like minimalistphone?
There's lots of apps you can download to do this
Looks absolutely incredible, sadly I like the security of GraphineOS too much :3
Can't wait.
Great. We in at 🔆SunGeek in 🇺🇬 Uganda, Alkebulan 🌍 await the Minimal Phone debut in 🇺🇬 Uganda market.
No fm radio?
If only this phone was thinner, and had the option to display colors, I would buy this.
Supeeeerrr ❤❤❤ can’t wait to receive it!!
Nice unboxing. I'm very interested in this phone, but I can't find any information about supported languages. Will I be able to write Lithuanian, Polish, or German letters with this keyboard?
great work! can you increase the font / icon size?
Yes
Will the phone work in germany ?😮
Awesome 😍
The future to a healthier coexistence with technology is here.🎉
Please do some videos to show the other colors and have them all side by side. Thanks!
Love it!! Great work
So glad I saw this video before preordering - I didn’t realize it had so much to do with Google. I’m trying to get away from that kind of thing.
Are they aware about the basic mode/super saving power that included in every other smart phone?
Awesome! I hope we can remove the animation of swiping between home pages
Really wish you kept the numrow from the earlier design instead of the bezel buttons.
with charging cabel!! I really look forward to the phone :d
Just to understand. What are its advantages ? I guess, battery, and what else ? Thx
Can you tell the specifications
The wait is over 👍
Does it work in Germany?
If I didn't put an offer in on a house today I would absolutely buy this phone. I love my Pixel 9 XL pro, but I think it's time to disconnect from a lot of social media and I like the look of e-ink
Good luck on the offer! 🙏
Very excited for this product! I hope that we will see a move away from UI reliance on animations which are annoying even on LCD screens.
Hey, love this concept. Will it work in European telecoms? How about typing with scandics (å, ä, ö, etc.)?
I was very late to this party unfortunately, and only ordered it about two weeks ago. How far back in the queue am I? Are we talking march?
Late Feb - Early March
@@MinimalCompany i ordered on the first day of January. When will I get my Phone?
@@klausleber6178 you will see 31. Of March maybe but I think erlyer
Cant wait to get mine. I like how there's a usb wall adapter included unlike apple😆
What about gps?
Actually all I wanted was the keyboard lol
Does Android Auto work well ?
Seamlessly!
do you ship to India?
why don't you keep him in ultra?
Exactly
Great but this phone isn't available to my country yet
>minimal phone
>expect something minimalism and no distraction
>runs android
Congratulations
Is it good for doomscrolling?
Wonderful device for GB games
Will you send them out to UA-camrs for an independent review? Would assuage a lot of doubt some people have about this product. I personally am not comfortable pre-ordering something unless I see it reviewed by someone I trust (Linus, Marques, goodereader, etc)
Absolutely! We are waiting for a large shipment to arrive to our office so we can send them out to tech reviewers.
Does banking apps work this phone?
Yes, any app form the Play Store can be downloaded and installed on the Minimal Phone.
So, it’s slower that basic Kindle? So laggy :(
How would this video look on the minimal phone?
Could be an interesting loop: filming a video of a minimal phone playing this very video here and than publish the new video on UA-cam 👍😉😄
Is there a dark mode?
It would consume more Energy because of the permanent black ink spots
@@Ale-gz7ef That doesn’t line up with my understanding of how eink works, or with my personal experience using my eink devices in both dark and light mode. Energy consumption is based on how frequently the screen has to change/refresh, it’s not based on how long the screen has to render dark areas.
How long security updates will be there…
