DumberOS is a GSI. I am not the developer. That post was a lso just proving a concept. This is also not related to the topic here. ---

It runs full Android 14 and supports apps like Uber, WhatsApp and Google Maps. It’s the much improved version of our old phone - the R77 Pro which we’ve sold out of now. We want to make a dumbphone that you can rely on as your sole device without having a smartphone locked in a drawer. We’ve made some pragmatic choices for this - supporting the apps people genuinely need - whilst still having a strong AppBlocker and 2.8 inch screen to prevent endless doomscrolling and slop. > > I’ve been using the Dumber Mini as my only phone for the last three months and it genuinely works. Personally, I’ve found you can watch YouTube videos and browse pointless articles on the internet but the 2.8 inch screen makes it painful enough that you stop after five minutes. I’ve hiked the Fairfield horseshoe in the Lake District with it, and I answer Dumber Mini support emails over its hotspot every day (I’m posting this with the hotspot right now!) > > We’ve summed up the main improvements over the R77 Pro: > > 1. Build Quality - the keypad, voice quality and balance in the hand are leagues ahead of the R77 Pro/F21 Pro! > > 2. NFC and Contactless payments - I’ve been tapping onto the London tube daily with CurvePay! > > 3. Better Camera - you can always scan QR codes successfully now! > > 4. USB-C to USB-C Charger support - works with modern car and laptop chargers > > 5. Physical Volume Controls - super easy, dumbphoney way to change the volume, especially in calls > > 6. Proximity sensor - the screen now turns off automatically when you hold it to your ear, so you stop hanging up on people with your cheek > > We’re also super happy to have got a smooth supply chain setup with the Dumber Mini - it’s flashed at source in Shenzhen then going to be shipped to our two UK warehouses. We’re UK VAT and EU IOSS registered as well! No more customs nightmares and 2 week + delivery times! We’ve come a long way from flashing phones at weekends and annoying my local post office with 200 parcels. > > Our relationship with the Dumber Mini supplier is strong - we have stocked up on some spare batteries and screens which means we can repair the returns and refunds rather than throwing them away. > > We’ve still got some preorders left on our website at [https://dumbermini.com/](https://dumbermini.com/) > > and we’re shipping them on the 1st of August! > > We’re always happy to answer any questions you have here and we’re active in the Duoqin hackers discord: [https://discord.gg/Aru8hJvAv5](https://discord.gg/Aru8hJvAv5) > > if you want to pop in! ---
