You can now order this Android phone with a physical QWERTY keyboard
The follow-up to the Minimal Phone 1 swaps the e-paper display for an OLED screen, among other changes.
The Minimal Phone 2, an Android phone with a physical QWERTY keyboard, has been launched through a Kickstarter campaign. The original funding goal of $100,000 has already been exceeded, with the total reaching $800,000. The Phone 2 is expected to begin shipping to backers in December of this year.
The device features a 3.92-inch AMOLED screen, storage options of 256GB or 512GB, MediaTek's Dimensity 8300 chip, and a 3,000mAh battery. Prices for the Phone 2 start at $599. In the past, phones with QWERTY keyboards were highly popular, but today, most phones on the market are the standard slab-style design. However, brands like Unihertz have tried to bring back the idea of QWERTY keyboard phones, and the Minimal's Phone 2 could be another option worth considering for those interested in this feature.
