Escape from the screen It’s not easy. When I tested Light phone III in MarchDesigned to remove applications and direct the basics – I saw how small things I need in my smartphone to access the house security cameras in my laptop. Sometimes it is not easy to go to cold turkeys. But that’s what Minimal phone steps.
This one Android phone with a physical keyboard and an e-paper touch. Looks like Burn there was a baby with Blackberry. As opposed to the most Anti-smartphone products This minimum phone that offers a set of key phone functions, allows you to access any application via the Google Play Store as a normal Android phone. However, the experience is hindered by a small, 4.3-inch e-paper screen that needs continuous refreshment. The keyboard will also slow you down. This is the point of experience in the annoying smartphone.
I went to bed one night, I’m ready for my ordinary bed Ritual of evaluation. I looked at my phone as my wife grew from Tiktok and we cried with my wife, “I can’t be perfect!” I took a breath, put my phone on the floor and went to bed. This is not to say that I wake up magical with the best sleep using your phone’s next morning before bed rarely sleep-This proves something: minimal phone has done the time to cut my time spent on social media.

The quality of the quality between the minimum phone and the III lighting phone is even harder. The last glass and metal mixes, while minimal is almost completely plastic. It feels light and say that I have a little cheaper. This does not help him immediately after him, the back of the phone, which I already had a bag of a bag, perhaps the company DBRand sells skins to cover it.
It is a power button baked with a fingerprint scanner on the right edge and it is reliable enough. Bottom houses USB-C Sharif Port and headphones. If 128 GB is not enough on the left edge, it is SIM tray that supports MicroSD cards for storage expansion. The volume keys are divided into the “e-paper update” button, probably the button you will press the most.
This brings us to the 4.3-inch touch screen, it is not much. This is a large number of dreams that you have a large number of previous text when moving or moving through webpages and menus – have a weak image of the previous text you looked at. You will even want to scroll one or two and you will want to freely shoot this e-paper update button to delete these works – these works quickly become an irritating step.

Also, although the monochrome screen does not help the selected websites that do not play well with lighter colors, as Wired.com, the pages with black and white text as a fine. Thankfully, I did not have a problem reading a matte screen in any lighting. You can adjust the color temperature and brightness of the screen to your eye and there is no glow.
Android 14 can feel a little slow to move along the operating system, but it is basically the speed of the e-paper screen. From a performance point of view, the inside appears in a beautiful way with Medatek Helio G99 chipset. I do not advise to try mobile games.
Shows a list of shortcuts for basic applications such as home screen, phone, messages, camera, calendar and calculator. There is a notes application and defaults to open Google. (You can remove and add a new application name in drawer.) I have used Google maps to use Google maps in any other apps, although more than others.

You will not want to do certain things on a minimum phone. Watching videos, play games and slide through social media does not make good mesh with e-paper screen and slow update rate. YouTube videos and Instagram reels Feel like burning with every frame, as you look at the same Strobe light. Press and hold the e-paper update button and you will find the “Ultra” update setting a little better, but significantly reduces the quality and everything looks like a blob. (I generally kept the “hybrid” that opened it when he scrolls or plays a video.)
