Most Compact Phone? - Palm Phone - Worth it in 2022? (Real World Review) 

@Master_Misanthrope With the invention of the paper battery, it's now actually possible to stuff a 3000 mAh or even a 4000 mAh battery in such a small phone. I hope the folks at Palm adopt that technology because it'll help them to make powerful but compact smartphones.

Same!

same. i still prefer smaller phones, but it seems like there ar no valuable products in this section. the phone looks beautiful - we need it with competitive specs it seems like nobody is really down to invest in this niche market :(

​@@TheNocturnalEvil have you checked out the Unihertz Atom L? It has those internal specs you're looking for. But it is very chunky 🫠

@@TheNocturnalEvil Why would you want a paper battery in the phone? Aren't they just an alternative to single-use batteries that can also biodegrade? They don't even store as many watt-hours per kg. as lead acid batteries. (lead acid storing nearly 4x more) Did you just hear 'paper battery' and assume it was some insane technological breakthrough without reading about them? No - if _anything_ I think it'd be smarter to look into _more efficient_ batteries like the _glass batteries_ that we will likely be switching to from lithium ion.

What about a phone like the Zenfone 8 or S10e? Do the advanced accessibility features help with nerve damage (I have no idea how nerve damage affects someone) ?

there is a new Unihertz jelly 2e that is on pre order right now @159 usd. Check it out, hope it helps

The processor is behind what the Palm phone has, with a higher price. That’s why I wouldn’t recommend the 2e

do we all need to hear ur sob story? u looking for sympathy??

It needs to be the size of the original iPhone SE

Thank you! They take forever to make lol welcome to the community! The form factor is pretty nice, I just hope with all these low powered chips based off Snapdragon 865 and 888 can find a new home in a form factor like this. With at least a 1500 mAh battery

It is actually for people that is small like they were born like that and also for small children that is like baby's that understand phones

Yes, even an Android the size of an iPhone Mini would be amazing. I love Android but hate how enormous every single Android on the market it.

Oh it's annoying to use for anything but super simple tasks. Phone calls, online banking to check accounts. That's it. Lol

Not bad. And if you don't like it reads in value is pretty good

@@RealWorldReview yessir. I got a Pixel 6 Pro now, but I miss compact phones. So I'm thinking of giving up my 6 pro for the 5 😅

Works perfectly fine it works the same as a regular phone I had mine for about 7ish months down fall on it was the battery life it was horrible I ended up frying the battery because it was constantly charging the demise of it was when I bought a battery pack for it.

Yes it is especially a traveling phone

Sounds like a normal phone, loud enough. The difference in quality of sound only matters when the speaker is too quiet. Also, coverage and carrier will change the sound. There you go, saved you time to address something no one talks about or takes two seconds to talk about.

That should be the next iPhone SE lol

@@RealWorldReview Yeah ! I miss the days when I could have a reasonably sized phone I could carrying in my pocket when I am hiking and kayaking. I don't carry a purse to put these large phones in. These huge phones don't fit in your front or rear pocket, if you are an active man.

They’re in the low $100s on swappa.

You can get it refurbished for about 60 dollars.

A Palm OS (or WebOS) skin over android would be awesome!

Every phone is Chinese, facts

Well under Verizon it was sold as a companion device, more like a large smartwatch. All can be used as a phone, but I mean come on

@@RealWorldReviewcome on.. what? what else are you expecting from a 3 inch phone that's marketed as being minimalist.

@@ADarnSmore a processor that won't be outdated in a couple weeks. The iPhone 8 came out a year prior and lost software support in 2023, while the the Palm phone (from 2018) is Android 8, or 2 major updates behind the 2016 Google Pixel. The under 1k mAh battery is way too tiny for the processor that runs this phone. Minimalism is fine, with some like Nothing doing well with it and Essential not understanding what people want. Palm was actually really good at making complex devices like the Palm Pilot and Treo models, but when they simplified with WebOS, they missed the mark, just like they did with this companion device. What I was expecting is things to be put in the phone that have meaning. Instead we got "the sky's the limit" but nothing to help get you there. And the camera???
