this is device here got a little bit of height I reached out I was like I gotta check this thing out for myself because it's not what companies are releasing and it's from a brand that you haven't heard from in a while every other smartphone maker is scaling up and here you have palm one of the original players in the smartphone game saying something completely different in the form of this tiny little device they're implying that you should have this as a companion to your actual smartphone pre-installed 4G SIM so this is how this thing is gonna work on Verizon specifically you're able to map your current sim to this device as well so you could hypothetically leave the house and say today is a low-tech a low-impact day I'm gonna take the palm device instead of my main device the whole proposition here is that there are circumstances situations in your life where you shouldn't be so distracted I guess by your phone or maybe you just want to carry a big phone the whole thing seems a bit crazy but that's precisely why I'm making a video and checking it out that is tiny oh my goodness gracious look at that Jack you see that that's a palm phone palm made a palm phone I can't be the first one to have said this everyone must be this is so light it's like a tiny little iPhone look at it what I kind of like it it's cute oh my why do I like it I don't know should I like it I'm not sure peel off very low key palm logo in the center gold around the camera and gold around the ridge it's not gonna win any awards for screen to body ratio I don't know if you guys can see even without the screen turned on you can see it's got a pretty big forehead and chin you got to remember I've been around since priests Mart phone day since regular cell phone days and back then the smaller your phone was the cooler you were from the giant Zack Morris Saved by the Bell Fresh Prince I think Will Smith had one of those big the big boys but then of course phones became computers and everything got all messy you're still gonna have another phone this is the I'm taking a vacation phone or this is the I'm gonna actually pay attention at my kids soccer game phone I see you parents out there I get it together type C charge cable tiny little power brick not in comparison to the device we'll explain this to me so the phone is gonna cost you 350 and then you're gonna attach it to your pre-existing plan which will share your phone number your data and so on non removable SIM that's really interesting so it's a single button and the number of times that you tap it will dictate the action that takes place it is Android but it is a unique kind of miniaturized skin that's going on here Steph Curry is endorsing the phone okay so it has to be good three-point shots look what happened to the team recently since he's been injured you've been following Jack the Raptors beat the Warriors without Steph Cruz Duran almost see almost change that fact Oh would he have 50 points or whatever okay I was there it wasn't there but I watched it but with this guy it would have been a different story if you want to know about phones that's your that's your guy right there Steph Curry okay life mode turns airplane mode on every time the screen is turned off unless you're on a call streaming music or using GPS when the screen is back on then the device becomes connected with life mode you're in control of what gets your attention so you will never miss out on life's most important moments I'm looking at used soccer parents spreadsheets email email yeah oh go yeah yeah no I'm just at the game no I don't know no they're just kids but yeah go on boy yeah all right so that's what it looks like booted up and you can see it is a custom UI custom interface here and it's kind of been tuned for this tiny little display so you have your apps in the center here from the top you get your quick settings including this little palm tree here life mode you can set certain apps to bypass life mode on box so you can tight I mean it works when you're trying to type with thumbs I mean ain't gonna happen I don't think you're gonna be texting a whole ton on this and I don't think that's really the point oh man that is so small whole volume is strictly digital oh I'd say it's louder than I expected it to be I should try out the camera okay we haven't seen our favorite special guest in a while we keep getting stuck with Willie do her name was Betty from way back in old school unbox therapy days she used to try headphones on for us actually and I think she's looking okay not so bad it has Auto HDR as well so it's doing some smart stuff it's not terrible okay you can still snap photos on it well get over here come here for a second will ah what do I think I think it's cool I wouldn't use it though because I already have a small phone well not compared to this no no do a little typing on there Oh God yeah okay there's voice tho unbox therapy box therapy UFC 231 you know what I would use voice all the time on a phone like this right so you hate this I I didn't say that I said that I wouldn't use it but I can see a use case how much did Apple pay you to say that as a tech fan you're kinda like okay cool no not exact I would think what's the use yelling what was yelling look if this is what they're saying okay live in the moment palm celebrates the freedom and choice to be both connected and present they're telling you you're not present well library life live your life will would you use this I mean like I would do a challenge for example I'd be like let me try and use that for a week or something like that the customer just the average person out there it would be a hard pitch what is this sell for three hundred and fifty dollars I can't recommend that maybe this is like a nicotine patch yeah it's like a subpar solution it's like temporarily we're gonna make the experience a little less comfy mm-hmm and slowly train you to look less often towards your device yeah yeah - like satisfy or fill every moment I was at the doctor's office earlier today I'm looking around everybody everybody you know they can't see they're right here and they're tapping away I'm there I'm doing the same like it's I mentor but then I'll catch myself I'll put it away so it's at least addressing that people are texting and driving they're crashing into each other you know you get a gift and you don't really need it and you're like you know what it's the thought that counts this product is the thought that counts yeah yeah but it's gonna be hard you're trying to sell you're trying to sell a nicotine patch to a bunch of smokers and it ain't no cigarette that's a cigarette that's what they want buy or don't buy I wouldn't buy I don't think it's a good idea to buy it I'm gonna say don't buy it I'm gonna say get better at disciplining yourself and your actions and your behavior or get an Apple watch same thing right see what do you just did again this guy's unbelievable we're gonna start wondering in the comments well who do you really work for yeah
