I don't see anything minimalist in the specs. What I do see is the UI which looks good (at least on pictures), and, above all, looks consistent . There would be definitely a market for such an UI. (It's more lucrative if sold with dedicated hardware, of course.)
I see lumia/microsoft tiles ;-)
Battery Non-removable, closes tab.
So, I'll give some unsolicited recommendations for your website, regarding accessibility: - The contrast between the body text and background is to low; it makes it difficult for people with visual impairments to use the website. - Font size and font weight, the font is too thin and adding this to the low color contrast, it makes it even more difficult to read. - Images that don't add meaning (textually) to the page,…
thx for taking the time, will consider the feedback in our re-launch (we were working already on making our pos better) this thread took us by surprise while reworking it

I would definitely look at a low-powered, reduced features e-ink not-so-smart phone.
This looks like it might be up your alley. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/light-phone-2-design
Its a shame that eink hasn't really hit the mobile market yet.

What's the differentiating feature between the Blloc and all the other black rectangles that run Android?
looks like a custom app launcher and some matching apps for some popular APIs. Still cool, but the reality is a bit of a letdown after the initial good impression. Ultimately, having to rely on your phone maker to keep up with every relevant service's APIs and features seems like a losing game. Seems impossible to meet everyone's expectations here long term. Also, I thought/assumed it was an e-ink display at first --…
I'll show myself out.

we def. screwed up communication as we've been focused lately on finishing hardware. its based on Android 8.1 and the apps are downloaded via play-store normally. We don't white or black list, but rather are going through the most used apps and building easier integrations for them
Consider using LineageOS instead. There's nothing 'minimalist' about the crap that Google 'requires'.
It's the same OS, and 99% of people that install Lineage install the GApps otherwise the device is barely usable.

1. Is it a black & white phone? Or does it use e-Ink (how comfortable is it for the eyes)? (You have mentioned I can enjoy photos with full colour with some "Colour Touch" tech but that's it, there's nothing else regarding it at all). Do you have another website or page where you have discussed your specs in detail?
2. What about battery life? If, assuming, it's not a colour screen then does it have a ridiculously good battery life?
3. Is this phone already a reality or is it just a concept phone or designs as of now and you will be developing it later?
4. What about the privacy and security aspects of this phone?
5. What version of Android is it using, if at all it is using Android? What about updates - any promised/guaranteed date of OS version upgrade?
6. International shipping? International warranty? How do you handle this?
7. Any plans for a smaller phone, something like iPhone SE/5S size (mentioned this as its my current phone)? I mean in ~4 inch ballpark.
