"They weren't smart yet, they were just phones. And for those first several years, each iteration got smaller and smaller. Screens weren't important. Customers prioritized the convenience of being able to fit your phone in any pocket. They only started trending upwards in size when we started to be able to access the internet, and watch videos. Social media became phone-first in design and manufacturers began making the screens bigger to accommodate a better experience"
"Some of us still would prefer to have something less intrusive. It might also help us reduce our embarrassingly high screen-times to switch over to a phone that isn't designed to keep out attention for 24 hours a day. That's where the NanoPhone shines. It's already starting as an extremely affordable price relative to other smartphones on the market - $200 - but has come down to less than half that. For a limited time, you can snag yourself this mini 4G smartphone for only $90."
Phones initially shrank as consumers prioritized pocketability before larger screens grew with internet and video use. Some users still prefer smaller, less intrusive devices to reduce screen time. The NanoPhone is a mini 4G smartphone on sale for $90, down from an initial $200. The device measures about three inches across with an HD touchscreen and weighs under three ounces, roughly credit-card sized. Rear camera is 5MP and front-facing selfie camera is 2MP. The battery is 2,000mAh and charges via USB-C. The phone aims to provide basic smartphone functionality in a compact form.
