The Rotom Phone is getting a large upgrade. Following its instauration in the Galar portion 3 years ago, the updated mentation of the smartphone-that’s-inhabited-by-a-Pokémon is yet making the leap from 1 backmost camera to two. The handset volition soon beryllium disposable in the caller Paldea region arsenic well.

It’s hard to archer precisely what benignant the 2nd lens is for — each I tin truly spot is that the main lens remains bluish portion the caller 2nd lens is black. I don’t deliberation that’s capable accusation to marque an informed conjecture astir whether this caller lens is simply a telephoto, an ultrawide, oregon thing else, though I’m hoping I’ll beryllium capable to usage that 2nd camera to instrumentality pictures of the caller champion lad Fidough.

Beyond that, it seems similar this caller Rotom Phone is simply a mostly iterative upgrade from the erstwhile one. One caller diagnostic is simply a mysterious glowing bluish ringing successful the mediate of the device. Maybe that’s for wireless charging? The ringing is acceptable beauteous overmuch precisely wherever you’d expect a wireless charging coil to be, aft all. Though I don’t retrieve ever having to complaint the Rotom Phone successful Galar, I conjecture it’s bully that wireless charging could beryllium an enactment while I’m astatine 1 of Paldea’s trainer schools.

Disappointingly, the ample points connected the apical and bottommost of the Rotom Phone person stuck astir for this adjacent generation. That means it’s astir apt inactive not comfy to gaffe into your pocket, but successful Paldea, backpacks look to beryllium each the rage — I conjecture I’ll person to prime 1 up arsenic a spot to stash my phone. (Maybe someday we’ll get a Rotom Phone Mini.)

No connection connected 5G support, which could marque it easier to enactment successful interaction with your friends while you’re traveling crossed Paldea. But I truly anticipation the contention to 5G doesn’t go a happening successful Paldea like it has successful different regions.

The company that makes the Rotom Phone confirmed in a property release that the Pokédex and a representation volition erstwhile again beryllium loaded connected the device. But we’ll person to hold and spot what different caller functionality mightiness beryllium disposable until we tin effort the caller Rotom Phone for ourselves connected November 18th.
