At the software level, the Minimal Phone is based on a customized version of Android 13 and uses the MediaTek MT6769 SoC. It has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The front camera has a resolution of 8MP and the main camera 16MP, of which the latter comes with flash. Bluetooth and WiFi for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands are supported.NFC,GPS and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor are also included, as are a compass and gyroscope.
A fingerprint sensor?16MP camera? This is just a regular phone with a worse display. The 2009 BlackBerry Tour had 128MB of RAM and a 3.2MP camera, and it was high end. I realize there just isn’t a market anymore for a device that doesn’t have these features that could be priced under $400, but it really speaks to a lack of imagination in the industry.
Yeah, it was interesting, some of the comments here mentioned the price as being too high, I looked at the price and immediately thought “this is going to be vaporware”

Also even if the prototype in the video is fully functional, they are not gonna have these delivered by August this year with a $500k goal lmao.
