A focused 5G Android phone with a physical QWERTY keyboard, OLED display, and software designed to help you do more and scroll less.
Platform: KICKSTARTER
Launch time: 2026.8.10
Features:
The Minimal Phone 2 is a modern QWERTY smartphone that revives the physical keyboard form factor within a contemporary Android-based device, offering tactile typing alongside the app ecosystem and connectivity of a current smartphone. The physical QWERTY keyboard addresses the persistent dissatisfaction with glass-slab touchscreen typing — restoring the tactile feedback, accuracy, and touch-typing speed that virtual keyboards cannot match — while the modern internals provide full smartphone functionality. Designed for users who miss the tactile precision of physical keys without sacrificing access to modern apps, navigation, and communication.
