4.9" FHD 16:9 screen with Snapdragon 765, 6GB RAM, and 128GB internal storage? Count me in! I'd so love to own one despite its steep price.

Even for a fashion phone, the price is way too high. This is a 180$ phone that has massive design flaws. Given that there needs to be an artificial price increase this phone has to be 600$ at max!
Also: this phone won't see many updates or security patches...I won't buy into this.

Locks great! But why round display corners? And why only one camera lens?

NeonHD, 17 Nov 2021Yeah it's a ripoff, but like the article says, it'... moreSmartisan isn't really an upmarket brand, they just had a very unique system in their hardware that, for a lot of Chinese users, can provide unique and handy features other cellphone manufacturers can't. If anything, Balmuda gives me the vibe of HONOR, when it comes to this phone. Just like HONOR X30 Max targeting phablet market, this phone is targeting mini phone market. And since they don't really have strong competitors in their targeting areas, they are able to sell low spec products with ridiculously high prices.

NeonHD, 17 Nov 2021100% agree. It's not that it's a new design, ... moreYes, this is what I need. I am carrying an S10 Lite , feels like a TV in my pocket

Now this is a great size, even smaller will be greater. not necessary design . The front camera could be on a bezel. I want bezels. I want phones which make sense. Now the problem with the price is that everyone now is making large phones, and because of that, whoever makes small phones they will charge you extra premium just because they might be your only choice for small devices.
This is because humans wanted big big big....
I want a small phone with a 10000 mAh battery, good camera, good display, fairly priced.

good starting point but, design needs some refinement. bezels should catch up with the recent trends. this is definitely a midrange phone and price should also match the segment,too.

Tucking Fypo, 17 Nov 2021reminds me of my old htc desire.Indeed! I also had HTC Desire and this one is bringing back memories.
Too bad that it probably won't be available outside Japan any time soon.
It's so cute! 🙂
