A 4" e-ink phone that I hadn't heard of before. Seems like a promising low-distraction semidumb phone.
Unfortunately, it seems to be based on Android 12 (eol) with no upgrades in sight.

I would never buy this, but it's nice that it exists

Recently, I watched a YouTube video about phones designed to minimize distractions. While they aim to solve the problem of smartphone overuse, their utility in today's world is questionable. Essential tasks like using banking apps, navigation, communication, and parking apps often require a smartphone, making these distraction-free phones less practical.
The video mentioned some "smart" distraction-free phones, but if you need those features, why not just adjust the settings on your regular smartphone to achieve a similar minimalist setup? Ultimately, traditional dumb phones seem too limited for modern needs, while the smarter minimalist phones are essentially just smartphones with minimalist settings. It's hard to see who the target audience for these phones really is.

Crap - this is not compact. WE WANT SMALL PHONES!

If it was this size but thinner I wouldnt even mind. Although slightly longer and skinnier would be better.
Over $400 is a ridiculous price point though and makes the whole thing a non-starter. I get that its a minimalist product and inherently not going to be the most popular thing, therefore priced accordingly, but its OS barely looks better than a mid 2000s palm pilot

Yeah I really like the idea of an E-ink screen for my phone, both for sparing my eyes and my battery. But the way they cripple these phones make them a no-go.
That's coming from someone who is typically very mindful of keeping myself undistracted - I have the alarm clock from the same company just so I can leave the phone in the kitchen when I go to bed.

Here's an idea for a "distraction free" phone:
Any android phone.
In a work profile use a primary launcher app that only shows 3 or 4 important apps. Disable everything else.
Lock all the rest in the normal profile with a password that is a randomized 32 or longer character string that you can't possibly memorize.
Write it down in glaze on a plate, which you smash and store in a bag with some super glue.

honestly the target audience is young 20 somethings. older folks like me grew up having to use different methods to keep stuff together. address book/cassette player/CD player/date book.
but then the smart phone happened and suddenly even mp3 players were obsolete. so us older folks embraced the functionality of a device we once needed an entire bags worth of stuff to replicate from our youth. I've never looked back from the smartphone because I remember actually carrying all that stuff.
these younger people were born when tech was getting to that point. and their formative years were spent with smart devices. so their brains seem wired to want to break "free" from it.
or at least thats just my theory. the 'iPad kid' generation is starting to be adults and they've not had the distance between smart devices that the older generations have.
again, just my take on it.

Yeah, that is a pretty good point. The attitude towards various electronics is entirely different. Probably really healthy too. If you stop having the ability to check doom and gloom news and anger inducing online debates every 3 minutes, it’s probably going to do wonders to your mental health.

Me, staring at password puzzle: ...i'll just hotspot my laptop this one time...
Narrator: It wasn't one time.

440 dollars for a bad smartphone and the homepage of this site is some guy sitting in a yoga pose to make the company seem more
zen.people need to start exercising personal discipline rather than spending 440 bucks for a device with less features when you could just uninstall the crap you're tired of
you can "dumb" down a smart phone literally at will. at any time. or just put the thing down more often.
that won't cost you 440 dollars so some random guy can buy expensive yoga mats to pose on, and you'll be better off for teaching yourself better smartphone use habits.

I guess you never experienced addiction. Some people aren’t capable of that sadly. Especially Gen Z and Alpha.
addiction isnt something to pay 440 for. addiction is something to work on yourself or with someone who specializes in mental health.
i have experienced addiction. smart phone addiction is a mild one and its completely breakable by changing one's own habits.
people are capable of it. they're just lazy. shelling out 440 bucks for a gimmick that makes them feel like they're helping themselves doesn't seem like a healthy thing to do for one's addiction.

True that, just leave the phone and messaging capabilities and you're done.
