The device features a retro T9 keypad, a small touchless screen, and a classic 2000s flip phone form factor at 19mm thick when folded. It supports voice-to-text and audio messaging. Pre-orders are open now with shipping expected in April 2027. The phone joins a small but growing trend of minimalist devices aimed at reducing screen time, alongside Commodore's recently announced Callback 8020. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
