Equipped with 6GB of RAM and support for 4G connectivity, the goal here is to offer you a phone that is there when you need it while other times you get to enjoy life. Under the hood is a MediaTek Helio G99 processor with two performance Cortex-A76 CPU cores running at a 2.2GHz clock speed, and six efficiency Cortex-A55 CPU cores. The Minimal phone has 128GB of expandable storage with a 16MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing snapper.
Originally expected to be released last August, that shipping date was delayed until September. The last update called for the e-ink phone to start shipping “between November and December.” This did not occur and an updated FAQ from the company’s founders said that the Minimal Phone would be delivered starting in December. The new year arrived but the Minimal Phone did not.

Backers of the Minimal Phone are losing patience. While there are some believers holding out hope on Reddit, even these optimists are talking about seeking a refund if they do not receive their phones soon. We have tried to contact Minimal and if we get any response we will update this story.
