The Meadow is designed to temporarily replace traditional smartphones, offering essential features like navigation, music streaming, and a camera. However, it intentionally excludes a web browser and social media apps to encourage users to focus on the present moment.
Marketed as a compact secondary phone, The Meadow provides more functionality than basic feature phones like the Nokia 110. However, it deliberately omits an app store, social media platforms, WhatsApp, and a web browser. To enable mobile internet, the manufacturer charges a $10 monthly subscription fee.
No Extra Plans or eSIM Needed
The Meadow doesn’t require an eSIM or an additional mobile plan. Unlike smartwatches such as the Apple Watch, it doesn’t forward all smartphone notifications. Instead, users can select up to 12 contacts whose calls and messages will appear on the device.
The phone also includes a range of pre-installed apps, such as Uber, navigation maps, podcast and audiobook players, local music playback, and streaming apps like Apple Music and Spotify. Additional tools include notes, a clock, fitness tracking, and weather updates.
Hardware and Camera
The Meadow features a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera for quick snapshots. Its hardware is modest, with a 3-inch touchscreen, 6 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of storage. The manufacturer hasn’t disclosed details about the processor, but the battery is expected to last one to two days.
Pricing and Availability
The Meadow is now available for pre-order on the manufacturer’s website, with deliveries starting in June 2026. The pre-order price is $399, while the retail price will be $449. A $120 annual subscription is required for mobile internet, though the first nine months are included in the purchase price. Initially, the device will only be available to customers in the United States.
