Seven years ago, the mobile phone market was dominated by brands such as Nokia, BlackBerry, and Palm. But with the rise of smartphones and new technology, these industry leaders were forced to leave their position and carefully plan their comeback. Fast forward to today and Palm is so ready to step back into the spotlight.
Earlier today, Palm unveiled its newest device. With its latest smartphone, Palm is on a quest to prove that being small doesn’t necessarily mean substandard specs. As a matter of fact, its newest smartphone comes packed with some powerful specs.
For starters, the new Palm device comes with a 3.3-inch LCD display and 445 ppi density. From within, the Palm runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. There is also an 800mAh battery that gives the phone its much needed power. Camera-wise, the phone has a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.
Upon release, the Palm runs on the latest Android 8.1 Oreo OS with a customizable overlay on top of it. Other notable features include Google Assistant and facial recognition technology. What’s even more surprising is that the tiny phone has received an IP68 water and dust resistance certification.
If you are interested to purchase this credit card-sized smartphone, you can get it from Verizon exclusively. The phone is set to be available starting November with a price of $349.99. It will be available in Titanium and Gold color options.
The new Palm brand has reinvented itself to stay competitive in today’s market. Along with its new smartphone, Palm has revealed a new logo and its new owners.
