Priced at just a little over 20 dollars as we were reviewing its specs, the L8Star BM70 is a tiny phone that doubles up as a Bluetooth headset -- a nano SIM card is required for it to be used as a standalone cellphone. Its pocket-friendly physique measures only 61.8 x 23.6 x 11.6mm 
, making it significantly smaller than standard-sized credit cards. Speaking of tiny phones, some of the smallest phones on the market are listed here on Phonerated.
The BM70's rather unsurprising (given its size) cons include its lack of even a low-caliber camera 
. It also does not come with a microSD card slot , which would have made it a nifty portable multimedia storage device as well, although we're not quite sure if such a pro would fit into its compact form factor. It features one of the tiniest phone displays in the world, in the form of a mere 0.66-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 128 x 128 pixels. Consequently, it has one of the smallest tactile alphanumeric keypads among basic phones.
Its biggest pro comes in the form of a 0.283 W/kg SAR value , which essentially means that it takes in way less radiation that most conventionally-sized cellphones -- its radiation rating was more than 60 percent lower versus the average figure as we were writing this. This low radiation intake also means that this L8Star mini phone makes for a fitting choice for little children and pregnant women.

Powering its pros and cons is a 350mAh lithium-ion battery whose raw battery capacity sounds just about right for a phone/Bluetooth headset that's mainly for taking calls on the go. Its battery lasts for up to 120 hours on standby. Apart from its basic call and messaging capabilities, the BM70 also comes with an MP3 music player and an FM radio . By the way, we also keep a list of popular phones for seniors.
This call-and-text tiny phone weighs only 58 grams and its pros and cons are topped off by GSM quad-band connectivity. Its main color options are Black and White, but L8Star lets buyers choose a custom color or a customized logo in case of bulk orders of 3000 pieces and 2000 pieces accordingly.
Summing up, this tiny Bluetooth-headset-slash-phone caters to radiation-cautious shoppers who are in search of a tiny call-and-text device.
