Dinophone

Coming to Kickstarter

A flip phone that doesn't feel like a downgrade.

Dinophone is a small keypad flip phone with an operating system designed from scratch for its 2.4-inch screen. Calls, texts and the tools you need. No feeds pulling you back in.

Prototype updates and launch day only. Unsubscribe anytime.

The hardware

A 2.4-inch screen in a 2000s-sized flip.

Shown at true scale, open and closed.

Concept renders. The final design will change as the prototype comes together.

The OS

Every screen drawn for a small display.

We picked up right where 2006 left off. Take back your time and data.

Mockups aren't final. They've been tweaked one hundred times and will probably be tweaked one hundred more before launch.

Pocket-sized

When you build a phone to give time back instead of taking it, it gets a whole lot smaller. It closes, it clicks, it disappears from your mind.

Designed by hand

A custom interface with real character, so going without a smartphone feels like an upgrade, not a sacrifice.

What you need. Nothing you don't.

Calls, texts, WhatsApp, maps, music and a camera. The apps that make life easier, without the feeds that eat your day.

Be first in line.

Waitlist members hear about the Kickstarter before anyone else.
