IpsDisplay, 16 Nov 2021There is no need for compact smartphones iPhone mini sales ... moreIphone 12 and 13 mini didnt proof anything. These just have too high price like this Balmuda has. It's for very limited market in a limited market where customers buy iphones. Also Iphone 13 and 13 mini size difference isnt that much and there price difference isn't also that much while you get a lot larger battery with iphone 13 over the mini that has 2438mAh

I thought for a second that it could be a really nice phone if it was priced under $200 and then saw the pricing. Whoever thought that this has a right to cost more than iPhone 13 does must be out of their mind.

What other companies should copy is the absence of macro and depth cameras

Balmuda, sounds funny but they might have found a "niche" of consumers who use only a basic calendar, timer, short video calls and that's about it. Basically what iPhone was built initially for, simplicity and that's holly.
They might get results on domestic market. The global one is the fussiest market ever.
I appreciate Apple for not caring of what users want but what sells.
Android is prime but so sooo many devices to chose from, exactly Apple consumers, simple, does the job.

Doubt this is the first time anyone's seen an "overpriced" Japanese phone. Just another low-volume, high-margin product.
Definitely won't change the compact phone market as someone already humbly stated.

Awfully cute. The price is insane, but hey it is a Balmuda!
Let's hope that this thing turns into a craze. Good for the diversity in Android world. More little phones are welcome. And at that size 16:9 becomes a good thing.

Haters gonna (already do) hate it, but except for the punch hole when there is a thick enough bezel, I like this phone, even though I prefer large ones (though this is mainly because I NEVER hit the right letter when writing, I am constantly offset for some reasons).
Many do like, want, and even need a small phone like that, and it is a nice thing that they can have whatever they like, we don't need a market when the ONLY thing available is what trend dictate and nothing for niches that EVERY MARKETS ON THE PLANET DO COVER except for the awful smartphone market.
Imagine complaining that there are left-hand guitar or left-hand/ambidextrous computer mouses being sold and justify your complaint it by saying "it is a niche".

Loving the compactness, but nothing else about it. Subpar processor and camera for premium price?
