Made a video on my experience with the Minimal Phone if you're contemplating buying.

After seeing countless reactions to the MP01, so much of the user's feelings toward the device are dependent on their expectations going in and what they hope to use the device for. 1st - Minimal Phone uses a generic e-paper panel, not the proprietary (and more costly) e-ink. It is lower quality tha

The state of e-ink readers as a technology, and how in some respects, the peak was over a decade ago.

There's been a massive improvement on the best devices in recent years via the refresh software. Bigme's is now brilliant and Boox's ok. Much smoother and faster with less ghosting during use on their premium devices. Which has in turn opened up other areas for eink like being able to use apps never

My post-TCL NXTPAPER Android Downgrade

No, without front light. I mean temperature of white wihtout front light. I dont know what other people complain about. I received a few system updates through the few months and I use it as daily phone. I had more issues with Google pixel 8 pro than Bigme Hi Break Pro. I have enough common sense to

Any chances of color Palma soon?

BigMe HiBreak Pro colour is rumoured to be coming around Christmas (non pro version already out). That's an e-ink phone (as in it's that form factor and can take a sim card). Bigme get justified stick for some of their tablet software but the current (b&w) HiBreak Pro was generally well received.

Hibreak pro or Minimal phone?

I have the HiBreak Pro and don't have a microphone problem. Seems like I get firmware updates every 60 days or so. The updates are rolling, so if anyone reports a bug, Bigme stops all updates, fixes the bug, then releases a new update.

1 month with TCL NXTPAPER 60 ULTRA, my experience

Yes i can use any TV. I dont know why...I recommend the Bigme HiBreak, I’m currently using it myself. I can do everything with it. The software sometimes acts up, but overall it’s better than having no smartphone at all. I’ve now ordered the Bigme HiBreak Pro Color. I just hope the TCL 60 Ultra won’

1 month with TCL NXTPAPER 60 ULTRA, my experience

I ordered and tested it, and unfortunately, after just five minutes, I started getting a headache. I’ll have to stick with my Bigme HiBreak Pro Color for now. I hope major companies like Samsung and Apple will also make E Ink smartphones, as they at least have decent software. The software from Bigm

How many of you use an E-ink phone?

I use the Bigme HiBreak Pro as my daily driver. I used the black and white version for 6 months and upgraded to the color version in December. Sure, it's slower than an iPhone, it has little glitches here and there which are annoying, but overall, it works perfectly fine. I do everything on it, soci

Wishes for a proper nice solid eink phone

I have a BigMe HiBreak Color and honestly my wish list is: I'd like to have all the bands that my carrier uses. I'm on VZW and when other VZW customers call me, they can't hear me. This is consistent: I always have to call back. I'd like to have an eink phone that was actually approved by a US carri

Boox Palma for the bed, Minimal Phone for the streets

I was so interested in the minimal phone especially with that glorious physical keyboard, but for the price tag it seemed like there were better options out there. From what I hear the software on it is severely lacking, what's your experience with it? What apps are you using day to day? I was using
