From the manufacturers of Palm, the famous PDA devices which were very popular in the 1990s, here come the “Palm,” which is the smallest Android smartphone of the moment. This gadget would come out in November as a Verizon-exclusive product aiming to be an add-on to your primary handsets.
According to the guys from The Verge, who tested the upcoming Android smartphone from Palm, the device shares your regular phone number and runs Android 8.1 Oreo and all the usual apps within Google Play Store. “It’s like a phone for your phone,” The Verge said. The tech news portal added that the Palm smartphone also boasts Gorilla Glass 3 on display but also on its glassy backside.
The Palm smartphone boasts a 3.3-inch display with 445-PPI and LCD technology. It also packs a 12-megapixel main camera with LED and an 8-MP selfies camera. They didn’t reveal many under the hood technical specs, besides the fact that it comes with 32 Gb of internal storage.
Palm Is The Smallest Android Smartphone Of The Moment
“There’s a single virtual button on the bottom. You tap it once to go back, twice to go home, and long-press it to get to the multitasking screen. Since there are no volume buttons, you need to swipe down the quick settings panel to adjust that. And since there’s no fingerprint sensor, Palm wrote a custom face-unlock feature that uses the 8-megapixel front camera,” according to The Verge.
Also, the Palm, the smallest Android smartphone of the moment, is also boasting a Life Mode that “enables a set of Do Not Disturb and Low Battery settings.”
“In Life Mode, your notifications are obviously turned off, but Palm is also turning off the wireless radios. The cellular and Wi-Fi radios will only turn on when the screen is on. It’s a much more aggressive way to turn off notifications and deny incoming phone calls,” the folks from The Verge said.
