A smartphone doesn’t have to be uber-complex to be truly great, and the Balmuda phone proves that with a compact 4.9″ touchscreen and an ergonomic concave case. The Japanese home appliance brand went the pocket-sized route in order to fit better in the hand and to provide greater comfort in a pants pocket. It’s Android-based and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 processor. It also gets a 48MP rear camera, an 8MP front camera, 5G connectivity, IPX4 water and dust-resistance, and a 2,500mAh battery. Choose between black or white, but only if you live in Japan. Waaah.
