Can this phone play Minecraft?
I would luv this phone but not for 350
useless product
When will release in India 🇮🇳
It can be bought as a standalone device now.
I bought the Palm phone last week from Verizon for $200, NOT $350. The Palm phone is a phone that I KNOW that I'll always have with me. It's not a phone - like my full-size, albeit very thin, Motorola Moto Z2 - that I'm always worrying about bending accidentally.
It's a actually a really handy tool... when I upgraded my xs max to the s10 plus my apple watch no longer has a host. So I needed a host and I found the palm at Verizon for 200$ instead of a galaxy watch which I don't like. Basically I want this to mimic my phone like the apple watch did and I can leave my phone which cost me 1600$ in the shop or in my house while I'm out cutting grass and those things so I have everything available on my phone but in the palm. Also in a few weeks while I'm in Hawaii I plan to do some snorkeling and things like that and will need to leave the phone behind in my room somewhere safe and if this gets damaged or stolen while I'm away doing something then not to much harm is done. My phone will be safe back at the room. The insurance deductible for the s10 plus at Verizon is 199$ so for 200$ I can use this riding 4wheelers or doing those things as I mentioned and still have the messenger and internet and Google maps just in case I need them and it's small enough to just keep in my pocket with my keys.... it definitely is a cool device
At Verizon, they broke it down to $199 with 2 year commitment or $8.33 month plus $10 for extra line. That's only $18 a month. I'm getting one tomorrow and Not upgrading the larger phone I have.
Thanks for the great review! Just ordered mine today and I’m so excited that someone has thought of this! Had to give up my iPhone SE and was sick about it, this is a great alternative.
Ive actually been waiting for an ultraportable smartphone. Was almost excited until the part where its an accessory instead of a phone i can put a sim into. Xperia and iphone se are too big and the chins are massive.
I’m sorry but that’s just silly. A small phone for my big phone
So a secondary phone for the main phone that you have to pay 10 extra dollars and way over priced....if you feel the need to have this go check yourself, its just another way to get in your pockets
i dont understand who would want this? there's so many cons... just make a flagship with small screen.
Came here from MKBHD blind photo test, +1 if you too
This is the worst idea ever. I love Palm and was disappointed to see this lame attempt.
Digital wallet.
Why not just have a mini phone with all the power of a large phone, like 12mp cams and 3gb ram and 64gb with sd expansion? If being a minimalist is the goal all you need is phone calls, text msg, music, and a few apps as a limit
This is an insult to the Palm name, such good devices back in the day. They should be ashamed.
New gadget for kids 😁

$50 i'll buy that phone now
#bringbacksmallflagships
Music Name?
Drop it to $100 ($200 tops) and get rid of that ridiculous $10 monthly fee for number sharing (if not, drop that to $5), then we'll talk.
After seeing this phone's price, even Apple would say, "how expensive this phone is !! Definitely Not value for money."
🤣🤣😂😂
LOL
I was using years back samsung corby phone which looks like same
In six months it will be selling for $99.00 or it will just totally disappear, my opinion, I would like one that small but with its own number..
Pointless. Just a gimmick.
The era of glorious notification devices
hi how can i buy
Really cool phone. But what's the point of having Instagram and other social media on the phone if it is a weekend phone?
For that money it will be a flop. Shite specs for something that will be a pain in the bum to use. Just buy an iPhone SE if you want a small but functional second phone for when your Galaxy S9+ is too big. Refurbished one will set you back £150 and will be better for performance, camera, keyboard etc.
No wonder this company is going down the toilet...worst stupidity ever haha
If you're into the minimalization concept, then this phones for you. Price is a little hefty though.
I will get this because, my primary phone is the Note 8. I work in Surgery and wear scrubs all day, the Note 8 is not pocket friendly, this would be perfect for me while at work. Also I have a Pool, in the summer spend a lot of time in the backyard in swim trunks, having the Note 8 in swim trunk pockets is a joke. This Palm is ip68 water resistant and would be perfect to control my Bluetooth radio poolside and still receive /send texts. Also going to the gym and walking the dog with my Note 8 is cumbersome, this little thing might actually get a lot of use from me like 40/60 time split. I wish it didn't require the extra 10 per month though
Stupendously unnecessary and absolutely hilariously overpriced.
Would be great in an exam room
Oh nice a phone for my phone, thank you... Lol
I'm blown away that this is even being covered by any online reviewer.
Is there an unlocked version
First world problems...
😂😂😂, and the price 🤣🤣🤣
Just... why.
Pocophone F1 is $300 ...com'on get with it guys.
Trash 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
It's a cool concept, but the price tho, are they out of their mind?
Palm face because of the wrong idea of this product 😂🤔😅😁🤣😱
So I need to have a phone to use another phone, kind of like smart watch but it's a phone. they should of named it "inception" phone.
Ouch that's too much for that small phone 50 dollars more can buy a pocophone
Lame that’s it’s not unlocked and that you just can’t use it as your only phone. 💩
Waaaay too overpriced to even consider this when you can just buy a burner phone
mid range price but small and secondary phone... mmm little over priced 150 or 200 maybe... 300 NO...
do you have this for att
It Is a Smallest Phone?
Why not just not have a phone when you don’t want a phone?
Get control over ur will to use phone BOOM! saved 350 dollars 🤟
I support innovation, especially in the mobile industry, but sorry this idea is really silly. This Palm phone is like a smartwatch accompanying a smartphone, but at least with smartwatches the usage is (kinda) distinctive enough. Why the heck do I want a sidekick phone to replace my main phone yet still requires connection to the main phone?
