A few days ago, Fan Faner reported on a mobile phone with a very old brand and a small product. Yes, it’s Palm’s new phone, and it’s called Palm.
There is nothing to say about the brand of Palm. People who have bought it naturally understand that if they have not touched it, they may be confused. The current Palm is the leading brand of two former Samsung North American design directors, Dennis Miloseski and Howard Nuk.
In that article, although there was a Palm phone that was logged in to the homepage of Fan Faner, it was actually an overseas version, which was borrowed by friends after eating. In fact, this phone is also licensed and not cheap, priced at 1999 yuan
Today’s version of this mobile phone has also come to love fan. What is rare is that this is probably the first time Palm has entered the Chinese market in the form of licensed goods.
The National Bank version is the same as the overseas version. It is a very small mobile phone. How small is it? It’s as small as you can see today. It is not much bigger than a bank card in terms of length and width. The weight of the whole machine is only 68 grams.
Specific configuration, the new Palm is only equipped with a 3.3-inch 720p screen, equipped with QualcommThe Snapdragon 435 chip, 3+32GB storage combination, and a front-mounted 8 million + rear 12 megapixel camera.
The Palm runs on the full version of the Android 8.1 system. The application icons are arranged in a similar way to the Apple Watch. They are all bubble-like, whether you use it to install Android apps, or send and receive text messages. WeChat is actually no problem.
Of course, its configuration is a bit outdated, so don’t expect too much performance, but at least it’s smooth in terms of system application, just not as fast as the current top processor response.
Why a mobile phone needs to be like this, in fact, in an interview with Variety, Miloseski briefly explained the original intention of Palm. Get rid of work and focus on life at the right time.
So there is a lifestyle mode in the Palm phone. This function is similar to the Do Not Disturb mode. The key point is that you will not receive any notification after the screen is turned off.
So Palm is more like a “mobile phone companion”, the purpose is to enable current users to “remove the hustle and bustle of information bombing and social interference.”
For this only 3.3 inch screenFor the small mobile phone, Miloseski hopes that it will become the same accessory as Apple Watch, carrying and sharing part of the big screen mobile phone. If the smart watch is more dependent, then the Palm can be used 100% as a normal phone.
As a testimony, you will see a comparison chart on Palm’s new official website, which compares itself with wearable devices such as smart watches, emphasizing that Palm can have greater independence than smart watches, such as running Full version of Android apps, taking photos, typing with a virtual keyboard, and more.
In addition, because the battery is very small, the charging and discharging speed of this mobile phone is very fast. It can’t be spared every day. There is a USB-C interface at the bottom but no 3.5mm headphone port.
With this phone, Palm wants to tell you that life and work should be separated and independent, which is why this phone can sell six digits overseas. But for Chinese users, this may be a bit too difficult.
