It’s 20 cells. The folks at National Braille Press assured me that they had seen instances of the device pairing successfully with the phone, but despite much effort on their and my part, I could never get it to work. I also thought the display made a fair amount of noise as the dots refresh. Still, if it had worked with my phone I’d have kept it cheerfully.
It is also possible that they have upgraded the software or the firmware on the device since the summer when I bought mine.
