If it's not eink and it's not smaller than other small-ish phones then I don't really see the point of using this besides skinning an existing phone and just not installing apps you don't need.
Get an iphone mini, don't install any apps, turn on greyscale mode. There you have a cheaper version of this, and if you have any apps that you actually need for identification or banks or similar you can actually still use them without needing a second phone.

- SahAssar 2y agoThere is usually a way to hide it and if you don't use them you should not get any (or at least not many) notifications. For more free android phones you can also absolutely remove them or load a distro that does not include them at all. I'm very confident that I could recreate a similar enough experience on iOS or "normal" android at a similar price-point.
- domh 2y agoYeah this is the thing that confuses me about this, it's priced the same as some mid-range smartphones. It seems like you're paying a significant premium to have the control over which apps you can use strictly enforced. If that's the only way you can do it and people are willing to pay, then I guess fair enough?
