Limited Edition and Unique Features
The Boring Phone is exclusive; it only has a production value of 5,000. Its very exclusivity would then become an oddity and give more currency to this strange and separate item. The ultra-modern casing of the classic Nokia 2660 flip phone and the monochrome UI are filled transparently in this smartphone but aren't really representing any modern smartphone. The very fact that the transparent casing and monochrome UI are quite antithetical to the sleek, high-tech designs of modern smartphones offers it a minimalist, nostalgic aesthetic.
Some primary things the Bjson tries to cope with are the capability to work on Mour OS and well-known features such as the Snake game, FM radio, a headphone jack, and some other hardware peculiarities.
It is also 4G network-compliant, with dual SIM and internal memory capacity of 128 megabytes, which can further be extended using a microSD card. Further to improve practicality and functionally, the Boring Phone also features a removable battery that sizes 1450mAh, allowing a whole day's standby time and up to 6 hours of talk time while connected to 3G and 4G networks. This further adds value to a very practical device amid its design.

The Boring Phone takes on the aesthetic of a custom classic telephone with a transparent case and monochrome UI, inspired by the flip models of classic Nokias, like the 2660.

All these features combined, a minimalist device in design but still highly practical and functional, it brings refreshment to the modern smartphone experience.
