Palm Phone

Beautiful, and beautifully tiny.

Poor Wi-Fi, LTE, and call quality. Mediocre camera. Short battery life. Can't handle popular messaging software.

Bottom Line: The new Palm is a tiny phone you're supposed to carry around as a secondary device when you don't want your big phone with you. It's a great idea, but it doesn't get performance basics right.

Hardware design is on point: This phone is beautiful ; Display is decent, albeit tiny ; User Interface is unique and new ; It runs teeny tiny Hearthstone! ; Speakers are decent

Verizon requires adding this on as accessory to another phone ; A little too tiny for all but basics ; Cameras are just OK ; Battery life is not OK ; Price is surprisingly high for value of device

Stands out from the crowd ; Feels well built ; Incredibly light

Underpowered ; Dreadful battery life ; Expensive ; Tiny screen makes Android hard to use

Unless you’re looking for a phone you won’t want to use, give the dinky Palm a wide berth

It’s unbelievably tiny in size ; Covers the same basic features that other phones offer ; Water-resistant construction ; Affordably priced at $350 ; Super bright display

Super short battery life ; Camera’s poor performance under low light ; Microphone causes our voice to sound scratchy in tone ; No NFC ; Cramped size can make texting difficult

Compact, durable design ; Life Mode feature minimizes distractions ; Fast charging

Tiny screen can be difficult to read ; Expensive ; Can't work as a stand-alone phone ; Tepid performance ; Ships with too many apps ; Only available through Verizon

Palm is back with a tiny phone that's designed to get you to spend less time with your mobile devices. But the finished product doesn't quite deliver.

Premium build ; Facial recognition ; Unique Android launcher

Too small, could be easy to lose ; Poor battery life ; The camera only captures adequate photos ; Lacking a swipe-capable keyboard

Design ; This phone is tiny and adorable. Solid build quality. ; Display ; The 720p resolution at such a small size looks crisp.

Display again ; 3.3 inches is too small for a modern Android phone. Content is cut off, and even simple tasks are a pain. ; Camera ; Daylight photos taken with the Palm Phone are barely good enough for Facebook. It's not even worth using in low-light....
