The story of buying Rakuten Mini at the end of last year when I was worried

Rakuten Mini was a big success in 2020 and 2021.

I started to pay cashless payments positively from the time of the government's "cashless point return business" (October 2019-June 2020). At the same time, "Is this terminal convenient?" And introduced Rakuten Mobile's Android terminal "Rakuten Mini". This is to use Osaifu-Keitai.

Rakuten Mini is the world's smallest and lightest smartphone equipped with Osaifu-Keitai (FeliCa). It's a footprint with the long side of the card slightly longer. Since it is compact and easy to use as a payment terminal, we started using it in March 2020.

Rakuten Mini is available for pre-sale at Rakuten Mobile Shop from January 23, 2020. The size (height / width / thickness) is about 106.2 x about 53.4 x about 8.6 mm, and the mass is about 79 g. It's a size that you can carry around like a card.In addition to Osaifu-Keitai, you can also use code payment and Google Pay.

Rakuten Mini uses Suica, Edy, WAON and nanaco. I don't use code payment because it takes a lot of work, and I don't use credit card payment (I try to use credit card payment on my iPhone).

Aside from that, Rakuten Mini, which is used as an Osaifu-Keitai, has become more and more necessary over time. This is because the number of Suica / Edy / WAON / nanaco-compatible shops and facilities has increased one after another within my own radius of action. I think the change was also influenced by Korona-ka.

And at the end of 2021. I was fluffy while charging my favorite Rakuten Mini, which was a big success this year, and I suddenly thought. "Are you still selling this?" Rakuten Mini is a device that has been on the market for almost two years.
