Will the headphone jack be on the TOP or BOTTOM of the phone? Your website's renders give contradicting information. Under the "Durability" button of the "Maximize Every Moment with Minimal Phone" heading, the headphone jack is shown on the TOP left corner. However scrolling down to the "Technical Specifications" at the very bottom, the headphone jack is shown on the BOTTOM LEFT next to the charging port. Clarity would be appreciated, thanks.
I have always wanted a phone just like this ever since I saw the light phone. The biggest problem with their e-ink display, was the typing experience, which could be solved easily by a qwerty keyboard. And you did just that. I am going to pre-order right now. Congratulations on your amazing journey, I hope to continue to support and watch this company grow.
I always keep my Nokia Flip Phone in my bag, waiting for the day to switch to it and get rid of my iPhone that I am so addicted to. I have 7 working smart phones in my closet. Even in a family of 3, technology is breaking us apart.
When I preordered this phone, they said I would get it in October. The next communication I got from them was on October 9, when they finally got around to letting me know that it wouldn't be October, but instead November-December, before the holidays. Now it's two weeks into December, they finally communicate with me once again-with a claim that the phone would be at my door "very soon", and link to a UA-cam video. Buried somewhere in the video was their definition of "very soon"-at around 2:00, they tell us that it means January to March, so another three weeks to three months. I'm familiar with the principle that the unexpected delays take about as much time as the expected delays, so having to wait until January or February or March wouldn't be a complete dealbreaker or surprise me that much...but I am pretty unhappy that they keep waiting until the last minute to tell us about the unexpected delays, and very unhappy with the fact that the announcement of the delay is buried most of the way into a video I am frankly not that interested in watching.

I said earlier that I cannot see any accessories on the website, but my comment was deleted. Can you please tell me where I can find a case on your website? It is imperative there is or will be one before I decide to back the phone. Many thanks.
On the site , after you purchase the phone. It'll give you 10 minutes to add a case or screen protector to your order. After you buy, but it is still there.

I’m interested in this phone but I can’t order if i don’t have a delivery date. Also I have a question, have you guys planned accessories like cases, or screen protectors?
Okay so look i like the idea of a minimal phone, can we get this with a colored display with a 5G Chipset. would love to have a blackberry kinda device.
Azért is mondtam le a megrendelést, mert már majdnem egy éve ígérgetnek, de manapság nem tudnak semmi konkrétumot felmutatni! Még egy videón belül is több eszköz jelenik meg különböző koncepciókkal és kialakításokkal, de csak lassú lejátszást észlel, ami nem releváns, és véleményem szerint a vállalat megbízhatatlan!
Thanks for the update! As many of us *actual* backers have said (ie. not the nihilistic trolls who proudly say that they never risked anything on this dream yet feel the need to leave their judgments anyway), we would rather you take your time so the product we get is done right and lasts a while over something rushed that's lower quality and doesn't work well. Happy to have backed this project in the hopes you could make it happen and great to see the work you're doing! Thanks for the update and looking forward to having the phone in-hand. Keep us posted!
@@MinervaSanchez-Tenorio Okay, you have access to all apps and there are other phones with an e-ink display. But where is the problem? Look, you get a Phone with a physical keyboard, thats why the screen will be smaller as with a full touch device and than the e-ink display without colours. Do you think this will be the perfect device for playing a lot of games, to take a lot of photos or watching hundrets or thousands of videos or pictures? I don't think so, also it will help to reduce the time using your phone. When this ist not minimal enough for you, you may like a Nokia 6310?
You’re not going to get a dopamine rush using apps on this thing. The refresh rate and black and white color will keep you from being on it for hours on end
This would be a great phone for cyclists. Bike computers (phone sized computers for navigating while cycling) are ridiculously expensive - the same cost as a smartphone for way less functionality. But with the Minimal phone’s android OS, e ink screen and long battery life, it could double as a perfectly functional bike computer.
The clips with the production line should have been released as soon they had them. Sliding dates are a given in crowdfunding. Potential customers seeing doubtful post, and not buying because of that is preventable.
@@Toastiiiiiiiiiiiiii I've seen worse with a great product at the end. There are injection molding parts in the video. They don't order those if they don't want to ship anything.
The idea of a minimal phone is good but I don’t know why every company tries to make the phone ugly and unattractive when they try to build something minimal. For example light phone and now this. This phone looks nice but i prefer design from 2024 not from 2004. Maybe they can do better by reducing the bezels and making the phone thin and sleek. It’s just my opinion.
Put the flash on the top, make it accesable with double clicking to power button. 3000 mah might sound ok for e-ink display but i still would like to get 2-3 days of usage out of a minimal phone and one concern that i have is helio g99 might not be powerful enough to some users. I love the fact that you just use your phone because you need to use ( navigation, mails , shopping etc.) however if while doing those tasks i feel lag and i can't get my battery at the end of second day i see no point in buying this device for 400usd. I could just buy any phone and limit my usage with apps. I loved the design but there are things to be done.
The minimal company is so minimal they do bare minimum updates. I want the phone I backed but I’m sure every upset backer would like compensation for the fact they the updates, shipping delays keep being pushed back, ignoring comments, concerns and criticism, and I’m pretty sure they said we’d get it before the holidays. Last time I check Christmas doesn’t happen after new years and the 3 months after….
Ordered a Hisense a9 after waiting for an email back about the minimal. If chinas doing all the heavy lifting what’s been the issue keeping you from responding to potential buyers? Jan to march 🤣
I know, its a joke. They were supposed to ship this month. Yet, they played with the phones they had instead of ordering the production so the product to be shipped. From the refusal of answering questions and concerns to putting shipping date back and back. Im curious if ill get mine as late as march.
Nézd, kiadják a Minimal Phone-t, 3 hónappal később, és egy kínai verzió jön ki tökéletes hardverrel, szoftverrel és minőséggel, amelyet a gyár gyárt, amelyet a Minimal tervezett :D
Lol I was waiting for the next delay of time for shipment, it's changed like 3 times now at least. Now it's January to March, nice leaving a huge 3 month window open, guaranteed it will be closer to March if it even ships that is. By time it ships it's gonna have old software that is outdated anyways at this rate and to be honest I doubt it actually ever will ship, think it's all BS at this point. Glad I didn't give up my hard earned money to this scam.
How can you be so excited and yet monotone with no emotion what so ever. 5hst dude creeps the s out of me. The death look in his eyes, not a single smile... But the 🙏 please buy my stuff. Constantly.
Yeah, sure, people love initially. The novelty of it will wear off after a month or two. Modern phones. are to ubiquitous and numerous in features. What you pay for in novelty. You trade for in ability. Banking apps, pictures, and watching a funny video your friend sent you. All become either impossible or cumbersome. If you do not use a smart phone. Then, you plan to switch from no phone or a dumb phone. Then, it makes sense. But if you are going from a smart phone to a dumb phone. It's not gonna work out long term.
I am thinking I will buy my whole family these phones. I’m tired of my kids holding up in their rooms. But I want them to have a quality phone and access to all apps. I love this.
get them a flip phone
I'm actually amazed that only now we have something like that. Been thinking about such phone since 2018.

Nézd, kiadják a Minimal Phone-t, 3 hónappal később, és egy kínai verzió jön ki tökéletes hardverrel, szoftverrel és minőséggel, amelyet a gyár gyárt, amelyet a Minimal tervezett :D
Excited for this
I'll get one near mid next year!
Can't wait to receive mine 🔥
man im just waiting for the drop! i need to be sure its legit before i drop the cash, especially since ill be converting from iphone
Lol I was waiting for the next delay of time for shipment, it's changed like 3 times now at least. Now it's January to March, nice leaving a huge 3 month window open, guaranteed it will be closer to March if it even ships that is. By time it ships it's gonna have old software that is outdated anyways at this rate and to be honest I doubt it actually ever will ship, think it's all BS at this point. Glad I didn't give up my hard earned money to this scam.
I really want to get one but the price is steep 400 bucks. I hope they can find a better manufacturer to lower cost and increase speed
patagonia wearing guy tells me this is not going to be anything cheap enough for it to spread wide enough to live long
Then sell it at 500 dollars😅😅😅
unfortunate. looking at that cpu, it looks like this phone won't be saved by the community once software support by Minimalist Company stops.
Unfortunately, the screen is way to small! Not practical to use a phone with such a small screen these days...
It’s a minimal design. It isn’t a smartphone
That's the whole point
lol scams and marketing with a big bezel
How can you be so excited and yet monotone with no emotion what so ever. 5hst dude creeps the s out of me. The death look in his eyes, not a single smile... But the 🙏 please buy my stuff. Constantly.
Yeah, sure, people love initially. The novelty of it will wear off after a month or two. Modern phones. are to ubiquitous and numerous in features. What you pay for in novelty. You trade for in ability. Banking apps, pictures, and watching a funny video your friend sent you. All become either impossible or cumbersome. If you do not use a smart phone. Then, you plan to switch from no phone or a dumb phone. Then, it makes sense. But if you are going from a smart phone to a dumb phone. It's not gonna work out long term.
This phone runs normal android, everything works on it.
