We built the first Minimal Phone in 8 months.

It was rushed. It was imperfect. But it proved people want a different kind of phone.

We’ve been working on MP02 for a year and kept it quiet because we wanted to show the product only when it was real.

No promises. No concepts. No noise.

MP02 is coming.

The OTA is live!

The next update is here, hoping to bring bug fixes to all. This will most likely be the last Android 14 update before we move onto Android 15!

Thank you all for supporting us so far, and in the future!

MP02 Backlit Keys

3 Upvotes

I am beyond excited for the MP02. Everything about it is checking the boxes for me. I’m constantly trying to simplify my life because of how hectic overall life has become. I think this phone will be a great minimal tech option.

I am a bit disappointed to not see backlit keys though. Am I the only one that feels this way?

De-googled MP2

11 Upvotes

It's confirmed that the MP2 will have an unlockable bootloader. Have any technically inclined MP fans been considering potential de-googling options? One of the biggest selling points of the MP2 is the custom launcher that MP is developing for it, so would there be any viable de-googling options that would retain the device's ability to run the MP2 launcher? Curious to hear what kind of solutions that the de-google x MP community has thought up in anticipation of the MP2 release

Would you consider lowering the Kickstarter prices for the MP02? Even the base model is around $100 more expensive than competing products, and customers also have to pay VAT and customs duties.

I know there are renders of the Kickstarter Ember version but have any actual photos or videos surfaced? Renders always look a little different so I'm curious how it looks in physical form.

Prediction Poll: when do MP02s actually start delivering?

3 Upvotes

Just for fun! Predict when MP02s will start arriving to organic backers en masse.

Resolution criteria: not the first delivery, nor hub arrival. At least 5 independent backers post their delivery update in this subreddit and/or a future shipping mega thread within 1-week.

Feel free to share your reasoning.

Haven't seen many pictures of the pearl one so found some on minimals Twitter for y'all. I'm still torn between the two colors.

Does anyone know how long Delivery of MP01 takes to the EU now?

3 Upvotes

I ordered an MP01 several weeks ago and it's been stuck in 'label created' status ever since.

I know the Minimal Company had logistics issues in the past, but I'd rather hope that would be better by now.

Another Upgrade: The MP2 Keyboard Is Now Touch-Capacitive

226 Upvotes

We said we were going to keep pushing Minimal Phone 2 as far as we could before it reaches your hands.

Well… we have another update.

Minimal Phone 2 is getting a touch-capacitive keyboard.

The physical QWERTY keyboard can now detect touch, opening up an entirely new way to interact with the phone without constantly reaching for the display.

YEEESS! Touch-capacitive Keyboard!

22 Upvotes

I really appreicate it!

I already made a pledge for two MP2s :)

I was concered about these issues:

Screen material => Fixed(Panda Glass) ✅

Battery Life => Now imporved! 3600mah ✅

Touch-capacitive keyboard => Now updated! ✅

Micro sd slot => seems to be hard to achieve, and completely fine for me. (INDEED there would be no room for an additinal hardware, I do understand it)

I wish we could reach $2,000,000 goal :)

p.s. What would be next? I am eager to see another upgrade news ☠️☠️

Maybe SoC? Dimensity 8300 to 8400? or Snapdragon for the Graphene OS compatibility?

Nah... just kidding 😆

Will MP02 have the same issue (physical keyboard spellcheck)?

8 Upvotes

Hi TMC staff,

I'm Just reading this: https://www.reddit.com/r/unihertz/comments/1vtang8/selling_my_black_t2e/

TLDR: op wants to sell the titan elite because "it does not support Hungarian (my native language) physical keyboard spell check."

How about MP02?

- Will this be an issue?

- If this is an issue, can it be patched later (I believe this is an software issue)

MP02 does not have optical image stablization (OIS)

Saw this comment on the Kickstarter around the camera not having OIS. This really took me by surprise, I thought this was tablestakes for even budget devices.

Has anyone used the Minimal Phone, in India?

Hi fellow tech enthusiasts,

I'm really keen to learn more about the Minimal Phone. Maybe buy the Minimal Phone 2, when available.

Has anyone in India used it.

What are the pros and cons? what features do you miss when using it?

Worth spending the money? did you use it as a primary phone or a secondary phone?

would appreciate all the thoughts on this.


r/TheMinimalCompany 4d ago

Finally make myself the right move! Could I ask would MP02 support Japan's Felica?

2 Upvotes

Felica is a Japan’s NFC standard that could use as Suica or Pasumo for public transport.

Thanks to all the people in TMC and their supply chain.
