Palm returns from the dead to release the TWS Palm Buds Pro
Palm has launched the Palm Buds Pro, the company's first product in three years. What's more, they actually look pretty good. Read more here!
Back in 2018, the Palm brand made a comeback with a tiny Android phone. The phone featured a 3.3-inch display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 435 chip, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and an 800mAh battery. It ran Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box and required another phone to work. A year later, Palm updated the phone and made it a standalone device, meaning that users no longer needed an actual smartphone to use it. While the tiny smartphone piqued our interest, it wasn’t a big hit among consumers. Now the company has revealed the Palm Buds Pro, a pair of TWS earphones, after teasing them a couple of weeks back.
[Update: Now available unlocked] Palm’s credit card-sized smartphone is now standalone
Palm's small smartphone now has a standalone variant that is currently on sale for $200 from Verizon. You can still buy the companion variant too.
Palm is no longer the company it once was, with the brand getting passed around ever since it was purchased by TCL back in 2014. TCL is the company which also licenses out the Alcatel and BlackBerry branding, but they later sold the Palm brand to a startup in San Francisco. As a result, the launch of the Palm Phone came as a surprise. It's a 3.3-inch smartphone that was sold exclusively as a companion to your actual smartphone, so the use cases are limited.
Palm's first Android phone has a tiny 3.3-inch display and requires another phone
Seemingly called simply the Palm Phone, the device has a 3.3-inch display, is exclusive to Verizon Wireless, and requires you to have another phone.
In a rather interesting turn of events, the once highly coveted Palm technology company has just launched a new (yet tiny) Android smartphone. Seemingly called simply the Palm Phone, the device has a 3.3-inch display, is exclusive to Verizon Wireless, and requires you to have another phone. The device is not inspired by PalmOS, or even WebOS, but comes from a company who says they are “reinventing” a Palm ethos rather than bringing it back. That said, its limitations and $350 price tag will be available sometime next month.
