TCL revived the long-dead Palm brand last year to
launch the minuscule (for this day and age) Palm phone, which has a tiny
3.3" touchscreen and runs Android. Initially this was billed as a
companion device to your smartphone when it launched exclusively at Verizon. In
the meantime, it became available standalone from Big Red, and back in June
Palm started taking pre-orders for an unlocked version.
Almost two months later, today that model has
finally become available to buy. You'll need to shell out US$ 349 for the
privilege of owning possibly the smallest smartphone around. You have Titanium
and Gold color options to choose from (note that there's none of those
materials used in the construction, they're just the names of the hues).
The Palm phone (officially simply called
"Palm", which is definitely not confusing at all) features 720p
screen resolution, the Snapdragon 435 SoC, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable
storage, a 12 MP main camera, an 8 MP selfie camera, and an 800 mAh battery. It
runs android 8.1 Oreo.
