The Japanese manufacturer of home appliances presented an unusual smartphone

Balmuda, a Japanese company that has made a name for itself by producing expensive home appliances, unveiled the Balmuda Phone on Tuesday, a smartphone of compact dimensions but a high price of as much as $ 920.

It is a rounded device that has a 4.9-inch 16: 9 1080p screen and 13.7 millimeters on the thickest part. On the back, there is a 48 MP camera, while across it there is a fingerprint sensor, which greatly adds to the unusual design. For selfies, there is an 8 MP front camera, which looks quite large on a compact screen.

The Balmuda Phone drives a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Due to its dimensions, this smartphone has a battery capacity of 2,500 mAh, but at least it has wireless charging, which will ease the situation, writes The Verge.

According to CEO Gen Terao, the company aimed at a compact phone that fits well in the hand due to its rounded design, but also a plastic "butt", so many users who are looking for a smaller device will like it.

Balmuda's phone uses Android 11-based software as its operating system, which stands out with its interactive and customizable home screen. However, the device will be exclusively available for purchase in Japan, but the company nevertheless expects that it will bring them a revenue of as much as $ 26 million by the end of the financial year.
