A tiny Android smartphone designed to be a "companion phone" to a full-sized device has been launched in the US - using the brand name Palm.
The handset is the size of a credit card and has two cameras but no headphone jack or wireless charging.
It aims to help people take a break from their main phone, the firm said, despite being a fully functioning smartphone in its own right.
It has been greeted with bemusement by tech commentators and on social media.
The device will cost $349 (£263) and will be available in the US, on the Verizon network only, from November.
A small phone to let people take a break from their main phone ? I know a lot of people are addicted to their phones these days - but, is it really this bad???
