Minimal OS, Your WayWe’ve heard from a lot of you who love what we’re building, but want the option to take privacy even further.So we’re making that possible.Minimal Phone 2 will ship with Google services by default, giving you the compatibility most people expect right out of the box, including the Play Store, Google Play Services, banking apps, payments, and everything else that depends on them.But you won’t be locked into that experience.For those who want a de-Googled Minimal Phone 2, we’ll be releasing an official de-Googled version of Minimal OS and providing the full ROM for you to flash yourself.That means you’ll be able to run Minimal OS without Google services while still keeping the experience we’re building around the keyboard, Minimal Hub, Commands, and the rest of the OS.We won’t be shipping a separate de-Googled device. Every Minimal Phone 2 will ship with the standard Google-certified software, and users who want the privacy-focused version will be able to make that choice themselves.One phone.Two paths.Use Google if you want it.Remove it if you don’t.The choice should be yours.
The existing ones were mostly budget models with cheap hardware and terrible software support. I miss the Nokia E71 which had a similar format, I rarely watch videos and typing on touch screen keyboards still sucks, so I would happily give up some screen real estate for a physical KB. I would love one of these, especially if it had semi-official Graphene support.
