Mini /e/ palm phone

Hello world

Palm made a tiny phone but with android inside so with /e/OS this phone could be just the best phone ever.

Wonderful device! :heart_eyes_cat:
Itā€™s a shame that almost no smaller devices are produced any more. I havenā€™t found a reasonably recent one that would run /e/OS or any other custom ROM.

What do I want to do with a 6 inch screen? Watch movies? Nope, I want at least 20 inches for that, please. And I only do the most necessary typing on touchscreens anyway.

Thatā€™s why Iā€™m using a Z5 Compact with /e/OS or an S4 Mini with DivestOS. Itā€™s enough for my purposes.
But a device like the Mini Palm is really a big gap. It would be great if it could be de-googled.

Totaly agree we just need to filter by years the devices supported by /e/ https://doc.e.foundation/devices

Screens are bigger years after years.

Smartphone definitely take too much space and attention in our lives

Show me that the community seems not interested in small phone :sweat_smile:

Finally a part of the community is interested :sweat_smile:

The Palm Phone is very limited in use.

Palm Phone (Unlocked) is primarily for the North American market as only these seven 4G LTE frequencies are supported [Band (Mhz)]:
2 (1900), 4 (1700), 5 (850), 12 (700), 13 (700), 17 (700), 66 (2100).

The elementary bands for Europe and Asia are not supported:
1 (2100), 3 (1800), 7 (2600), 20 (800), 28 (700).

I really need a good small-screen smartphone. Almost all latest devices have large screens :frowning:

Yes, there are a small number of small smartphones. But I have yet to discover a reasonably recent one that is supported by /e/OS (or another custom ROM that can de-google it). Finding anything smaller than 5 inches has been seemingly impossible since 2016.
