Minimal Company has released the full specifications for its next-generation Minimal Phone 2, offering a clearer picture of what privacy-focused Android users can expect from the device. The announcement via the company's Kickstarter campaign confirms that the hardware will prioritize a compact form factor and a clean software experience over raw power. Buyers looking for a smaller, distraction-free smartphone now have concrete details on the internal components and pricing tiers available for the upcoming model.

The device runs on Minimal OS, which is built on top of Android and includes features inspired by the BlackBerry era to encourage focused usage. At its core, the phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 processor, paired with 8GB of RAM in the standard configuration. A special Founders Edition variant increases this memory to 12GB for users who need more headroom for multitasking.
Minimal Phone 2 Key Specifications

Visuals are handled by a 3.92-inch OLED display that supports a 90Hz refresh rate and offers a resolution of 1080 x 1240 pixels. The camera system has seen a notable upgrade, featuring a 50MP f/1.8 sensor on the rear and a 20MP sensor on the front. Storage options include 256GB and 512GB configurations, though the company has omitted a microSD card slot for expansion.
Connectivity options include Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and Wi-Fi 6E, while the device connects to peripherals via a USB 3.2 Type-C port. The phone retains a 3,000mAh battery capacity from its predecessor but supports faster 27W wired charging alongside 15W Qi wireless charging. The hardware measures 122.6 x 72 x 9.48 mm, maintaining a compact footprint suitable for one-handed use.
Pricing for the Kickstarter campaign starts at $599 for the 256GB model and rises to $675 for the 512GB version. The 12GB Founders Edition is priced at $899. Shipping for all orders is scheduled to begin in December 2026, giving early backers a long lead time before receiving the device.
This announcement confirms the hardware roadmap for the Minimal Phone 2 after earlier speculation about its components. The combination of a modern MediaTek processor and a high-refresh-rate display suggests the company is balancing privacy features with acceptable daily performance.
