Palm is a miniature handset that has been launched to act as a companion to your primary Android or iOS smartphone. With a small 3.3-inch display in the times of mainstream flagship models like the iPhone XS Max ₹ 102,000 (6.5-inch) and the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 ₹ 61,900 (6.4-inch), the Palm offers users with a minimal approach to the phone. The Palm phone is about the size of a credit card, has a high pixel density LCD panel, and comes with IP68 rating.
A custom “Life Mode” on the smartphone silences incoming calls and notifications every time the screen is turned off. The Palm, initially codenamed Peptio, was leaked back in August. Let’s check out its price and specifications.
Palm price and specifications
The miniature Palm handset has been priced at $350 (roughly Rs. 25,800) and will be sold starting November exclusively via Verizon Wireless in the US, positioned as a companion to your primary smartphone. In fact, both your “main” Android phone or iPhone and the Plan will share a number. Users will have to pay a monthly fee of $10 (about Rs. 700) over and above their current Verizon plan to connect the Palm to the carrier’s network, reports CNET.
The single-SIM (Nano) Palm runs a custom version of Android 8.1 Oreo out-of-the-box, and sports a small 3.3-inch HD LCD display panel with a 445ppi pixel density and Corning Gorilla Glass protection on the front and the back. The phone is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 SoC, coupled with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.
