if it doesmt have a sim card slot then it isnt a phone. the primary use is to receive calls and text messages in case everyones forgotten that.
My HiSense have a SIM card folks 😉
but this is not a phone ffs
Without sim card, we can't call it a phone
how bad are we as ppl that we need a dumb device to stop using a smart device …
Smartphone? No. A closer comparison would be an iPod Touch. It’s the same form factor, but with an e-ink screen and running Android.
I have one. I mainly use it for reading using the Libby library app. I also use it to listen to music via Plex and podcasts via Pocket Casts. I even post to my website from it using the Jetpack app and sharing to social media using the apps for those services.
The Palma fits in my cross body sling or my pocket. What’s best for me is how I can operate this device with one hand, which comes in very handy, if you will, when my cat climbs up on my other arm for tummy scritches.
I don’t want this device to be a smart phone. I want it to do what I’m already doing with it in this particular form factor.
Bro this is just a wifi tablet with a eink display!!
If it had a sim slot you… er… wouldn’t have to use a sim.
Logic- deja vu
Its literally just a garbage smartphone with low fps and a screen that is better for you. There is nothing minimalist about this since it can still run every distracting app, only difference is its in black and white and ppl can definetly get past that if they like the gimmick
It's an iPod touch, glorified phone sized tablet in a way
Not being a phone is a massive downside
Ive personally down graded from Galaxy Fold4 to a Unihertz Jelly Star costing $200/ £180. My screen time is down from 4-6 hrs to 0.5 hr per day. I love it!
That's just an updated palm pilot that can play music, but without the games and utilities you could run on a palm pilot.
I'd buy it in a second if it could also make phone calls. In fact it shouldn't even be called a phone. It's more like a super mini tablet
Hahaha ,the dog move , says it all
Cmon mkbhd talk about the SIM card!
I am currently using an Iphone with grayscale for email, instant messaging and calling, and a Books e-ink tablet (Note Air 2) for notetaking and reading long form documents. The Palma is on my bucket list because of its portability. The day they add an e-sim is probably the day I make it my daily driver.
clickbait title
Hi, I know nobvodyc ares but I just read the deadline article about Oprah and the future of AI. This is an instant unsub, ffs marques what the hell.
Someone could've easily made an op theme of it😅
6:33 better then Nothing ….🤨🤨
This is worse than the Humane pin.
Fantastic intro!
If it had a sim card tray, I would buy one
No porn no dice
THIS IS NOT A PHONE. If it had a sim slot then I could actually replace my phone with this. Without that, it's just an additional device that doesn't solve the problem that most people who buy it actually want to solve.
Kinda interesting to think about, this thing takes you back in time, when colors were not around on displays 😅
This mini-tablet calling itself a phone is a little bit extra.
4:20 Glad to know MKBHD is an Eminem fan
Making phone calls is the core function of a phone…no cellular, then it's not a phone.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the intro of this video. Wow
Looking at the comments, I want to say I don't believe Boox really calls this a phone anywhere. It's a pocket device. The reviewer is calling it a phone for no reason.
if it had a sim card option it would have been worth it
