Ano terminal used as assistant to "BALMUDA PHONE" with a small battery capacity: Yasuhiro Yamane's overseas mobile exploration

"BALMUDA PHONE" is also a simple smartphone.Aside from the price of over 100,000 yen, the palm -sized compact size is easy to use, and it is a unique existence in the recent larger smartphone.Xiaomi is screen size 6 overseas.28 type, width 69.There are also products that are considering the ease of holding, such as "Xiaomi 12", which sells slim size at 9mm.

What I feel while using the Balmuda Phone is that it is possible to collect some information even on a small screen.If you want to go lightly, it may be enough.Nevertheless, the body size is small, so the battery is only 2500mAh, and it is a delicate place to hold it from morning to night without a mobile battery.However, it is troublesome to bring out a mobile battery according to the small BALMUDA PHONE.

In order to assist the Balmuda Phone, I thought it would be useful if there was another terminal that could be carried together, so I looked at the feature phone.The Balmuda Phone is limited to the use of the Internet, and the call is left to the feature phone.In addition, the recent 4G feature phone also has a tethering function.When the Balmuda Phone battery decreases, it may be good to cut 5 g / 4G and connect to a feature phone with Wi-Fi turned on tethering (although it has a feature phone battery.Not).

As a feature phone that I want to have according to BALMUDA PHONE, which is elaborate for the design, PUNKT.It is "MP02".+STYLE was sold in Japan in 2019, but it is already sold out, and it seems that there are only used goods now.PUNKT.The product features a design by Jasper Morrison, who has a friendship with Naoto Fukasawa.Although it is simple, it has both ease of holding and ease of use.

MP02 is a 4G compatible feature phone, and there is only a function of calling, SMS, and a clock, but if you use a lot of telephone, there is enough use.The size is 51.3 (width) x 117 (height) x 14.4 (thickness) mm, weighs 100g.69 (width) x 123 (height) x 13.7 (thick) MM and weighs 138g You can easily carry it with BALMUDA PHONE.

The image of BALMUDA PHONE designed only with curves and MP02 that uses a lot of straight lines is very different.However, when the white round Balmuda Phone and the black square MP02 are arranged, the contrast between the color and the design seems to be in harmony.

By the way, I still use MP02 occasionally, but I repeat the power on / off several times a day.In the MP02, the pigeon icon is displayed at startup, and at the same time, you can hear a small pigeon squeal.I like the playfulness of MP02 that makes me feel as if it is a digital product.

So, when I had a lot of phone calls at work, I tried to make a call with MP02 while checking the schedule and email on Balmuda Phone, but it is not bad.I was a little worried that these two cars would go out for a day, but when I actually went out for one day, it was a lot.Well, I was careful not to use the battery too much, but if I want to get out of the whirlpool of information on the net, this combination may not be bad.
