The Minimal Phone 2 features an AMOLED screen and 5G connectivity while still retaining its vintage appeal.

      A compact sequel featuring an aluminum body, complete with an OLED display, 5G support, and an enhanced keyboard.

      **Minimal Phone 2**

      The original Minimal Phone was defined by its E Ink screen, which intentionally made scrolling a challenging experience. The black-and-white E Ink display was designed to make watching videos or browsing social media less visually engaging.

      Therefore, I was somewhat taken aback when The Minimal Company unveiled its successor, which boasts an AMOLED screen that allows for a higher refresh rate. I did not anticipate the company to change the hardware that distinguished it. However, this doesn’t imply that the Minimal Phone 2 isn’t worthwhile.

      Why abandon the defining display?

      The Minimal Phone 2 replaces its e-reader-style E Ink panel with a 3.92-inch 90Hz AMOLED display. While E Ink screens are slow and cumbersome with animations, making them unsuitable for anything other than text, the AMOLED display offers a contemporary aesthetic and functionality.

      It’s quite ironic to have a Minimal Phone with an AMOLED screen. Nevertheless, the rest of the redesign seems quite essential. The previous blocky design has been replaced with a smooth aluminum body.

      It is available in Black or Silver. The physical QWERTY keyboard has been retained, featuring a tactile layout with metal dome switches, customizable keys, and long-press shortcuts. The keys are also backlit for use in darker settings.

      Does the addition of 5G alter the situation?

      Users will also find a physical silent switch at the top and a 3.5mm headphone jack, which contributes to the overall nostalgic feel of the phone, reminiscent of classic BlackBerry devices.

      In contrast to the original Minimal Phone, this new version includes 5G capability, suggesting that a new chipset has been incorporated. While unconfirmed, a source has indicated it could be the Dimensity 8300, paired with 8GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage.

      **Kickstarter**

      The company has stated that more information will be revealed on August 10, 2026; meanwhile, the Kickstarter page indicates the fundraising will be active for another 29 days. However, the project has already met its funding goal, indicating that a commercial launch is likely to follow.

      **WhatsApp’s next update for iPhone could simplify chat searches**

      WhatsApp is working on making it easier to find specific messages.

      Searching for an old message amidst a busy WhatsApp chat has often felt more laborious than necessary, especially on an iPhone. WhatsApp aims to resolve this issue by introducing a new button allowing users to enter search mode without leaving the conversation.

      How do you currently search for a message on WhatsApp?

      **Samsung Galaxy S26 FE specs leak, showing familiar patterns**

      Samsung is seemingly reusing a lot of existing hardware for the Galaxy S26 FE.

      The upcoming "budget" flagship from Samsung has been leaked numerous times over the last few months, leaving little for the company to disclose. We already have insights into its colors, redesigned camera housing, older processor, and recognizable camera specs. A new leak has now provided nearly complete specifications.

      WinFuture has uncovered detailed specs for the Galaxy S26 FE, revealing a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a resolution of 2340 x 1080, a 120Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness reaching 1,900 nits. The phone is expected to be available in Graphite, Pistachio, and Blueberry.

      **Aptoide becomes the first third-party app store on Google Play**

      You can now download a competing app store directly from Google Play.

      For over ten years, finding an alternative Android app store often meant searching for APK files amidst security warnings. That is changing now. Aptoide Games, a marketplace focused on gaming, is available for download directly from Google Play in the United States. This marks the first instance that a competing app store has been officially offered within Google's platform since it restricted rivals over a decade ago.

      Why has Google finally allowed competition in the Play Store?
