This New Tiny Phone is a Blast From The Past

Balmuda, a Japanese manufacturer that specializes in home appliances, has just launched its first smartphone, and it’s unique in every way. A compact smartphone is nothing new today, but this one is shaped like a pebble with a curved back for a comfortable grip.

Its screen is only a 4.9-inch LCD with 1080p resolution and an adorable little punch-hole selfie camera in the top corner. The screen has sizable bezels around it and the whole device weighs only 138 grams. The curved rear panel has a single main camera, an LED flash, and a tiny fingerprint sensor.

Despite its small size, Balmuda Phone does not hold back on specifications. It’s packed with a Snapdragon 765 SoC with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage. The custom Android 11 design makes it easy to use on a smaller screen.

The main camera on the back is a 48MP shooter while the punch-hole selfie camera is an 8MP snapper. The 2,500 mAh battery can charge through the USB C port via any compatible Qi charger.

The Balmuda Phone will be available in Black and White color options for a staggering price tag of $916, which is no less than an ultra-high-end smartphone these days.
