Meet Mininmal: A New Phone Built for Focus, Not Feeds

Tired of doomscrolling but not ready to go full flip phone? The Minimal Phone might be your answer. With its black-and-white e-paper screen and physical keyboard, it’s designed to help you unplug — without completely disconnecting.

It looks like a phone. It works like a phone. But it feels more like a breath of fresh air. You can still call, text, and get around with maps. You can even download apps if you really need to. But the intentionally slow screen refresh rate makes mindless scrolling pretty unappealing. Which is kind of the point.

It’s tech with boundaries, and it comes with just enough modern perks to keep you sane, like a headphone jack, NFC tap-to-pay, and wireless charging.

Key Takeaways

Built for Digital Boundaries
The e-paper display and physical keyboard keep your screen time low and your habits intentional. No endless reels. No dopamine traps.

Just the Essentials
You still get texts, calls, maps, and the basics — but the phone gently nudges you away from distractions that steal your focus.

Surprisingly Modern
It includes NFC, a headphone jack, wireless charging, and even a microSD slot, proving you don’t have to give up convenience to stay present.

Why It Matters

If you’ve ever caught yourself checking your phone when you didn’t even have a reason, this phone was made for that moment. It’s a way to stay reachable without being always on. A small shift that can make a big difference in how you spend your time, your attention, and your peace of mind.

This isn’t a trend. It’s a tool for anyone looking to rewrite the rules of how they use tech — and maybe even reclaim a little headspace in the process.
