> Can I use apps on Minimal?

> Yes, Minimal runs on Android, allowing you to download and use essential apps. However, the e-ink display and device optimization are geared towards minimizing unnecessary distractions.

That answers the only question I had about this. You still get full access to every app you need, it just increases the friction (via the low refresh rate and the lack of colors) so you can't doomscroll.

Unfortunately, it does not list Bluetooth among its many wireless features, so I don't think I'd be able to use it. Not having music or podcasts in the car or on a run is a dealbreaker.

> Entertainment will be kept simple as well, "focusing on relaxation and mindfulness." The handset will feature Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with 5G currently being explored,

Ah. I didn't see it on the kickstarter/gofundme page with the specifications. Back on my wishlist then :)

Isn't bluetooth bundled with every wifi chip / mobile soc these days?

I thought so too.

The article mentioned Android Auto. I assume it must have Bluetooth.

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay both have wired functionality.
