There was a period of time when phone size trended downward each year. People wanted smaller and smaller phones. They wanted a device that could easily fit in their pockets and be unobtrusive to the rest of their lives. It was only at the advent of the smartphone that screen sizes started trending upwards again. It makes sense that folks would want to have a larger display when their entire lives exist on that screen as social media grew and phone cameras became more powerful.
And yet, all the benefits to having a tiny phone that existed prior are still there. We’ve just decided that the benefits of a big one outweigh the benefits of a small one. But maybe you don’t think that way. May all you need is something small that fits in your pocket without issue. That’s where this NanoPhone comes into play — a miniaturized smartphone currently 50% at just $100.
The credit card-sized smartphone
This fully functional smartphone comes in an incredibly compact design. Its touchscreen is only 3 inches across, but is still HD. The phone weights under three ounces and can fit easily in just about any pocket or handbag.
The cameras are powerful with a 5 MP lens on the rear, and a 2 MP on the front for selfies and video calls. The phone has a 2,000mAh battery to last you awhile and can be recharged with the standard USB-C charging port.
The phone is SIM card-ready, supporting 4G LTE and data plans with most cellular providers — able to be used with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and all other US carriers including budget and no-contract service providers such as Cricket, Boost, Visible, and Mint. The interface runs Android 10 so that means it is compatible with all your favorite apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, and more.
Inside the box, you’ll find the NanoPhone unit itself, a screen protector, a protective phone case, the SIM tray ejector, a charge cable, and instructions.
Not only is this phone small in size, but it’s also small in price. Most phones nowadays will run you over a thousand dollars in many cases. That’s just an absurd amount of money to have to spend on something that’s pretty much a basic need in modern life. Well, you can still fill that need but do it while only spending $100. That’s right, the NanoPhone — which is normally priced at $200 — is currently being sold for 50% off over at StackSocial.
