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.

    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.
