If it is true that the trend of compact smartphones is mainly linked to the past, there still exists a market niche that prefers small dimensions to the more popular bulky devices.
Precisely to meet this part of consumers, Phonemax R4GT was launched on the market, what is considered to be the smallest phone in the world equipped with a thermal camera and night vision. The product in question was launched with a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, which is proving to be a real success.

On a technical level, Phonemax R4GT offers a 4,3-inch LCD display (resolution 540 x 1200 pixels).

Despite the compact screen, the weight of the phone is 190 grams, while the dimensions of the product are 121 x 59.2 x 18.33 mm. High resistance to falls, shocks and waterproofness thanks to IP68/IP69K/MIL-STD-810H certifications.

To support the processor, the device boasts 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage space expandable via micro SD with support for 512 GB.
Phonemax R4GT proves to be a valid product also for the photographic sector. In this regard, its creators have opted for a 64 MP main camera, which is accompanied by a 20 MP night vision camera and a 256×192 thermal camera while for selfies and video calls we rely on a 13 MP sensor .
Regarding the battery, we are talking about 3200 mAh with 18W fast charging in traditional mode and 15W in wireless mode. Other important information concerns connectivity, given that the device supports 4G LTE with all global bands available, Dual Wi-Fi 5.0, Bluetooth 5.0, OTG, GPS/Glonass, BeiDou/Galileo and NFC technology for contactless payments. The operating system adopted, however, is Android 14.
