Jelly 2 - Compact Android 11 Mini Smartphone, 4G Unlocked, 6GB RAM + 128GB Storage, NFC, Dark Green (NO charger)

I was after a small smartphone to use on my mountain bike that would connect to my Garmin sat nav and enable me to use Live Track so that my position would always be know when I'm out on Dartmoor. My current phone, in common with most phones these days has become too big to comfortably fit in pockets and this absolutely solves that problem! It's around 1cm thick, so thicker than many phones, but it's the small screen that makes it the ideal size for me.It might be small, but it is fully featured and I don't feel short-changed on features by its diminutive size and reasonable price. It has plenty of memory (6GB/128GB) to download lots of apps and it runs them with ease. The NFC works well for contactless payments.Others have complained about how small the keyboard is (well, it is a very small phone) but I find that with a bit of care it's fine to use and it seems fairly accurate. The fingerprint sensor can be unresponsive, but I find that this is because it has become dirty and with a quick wipe from a t-shirt it works fine again, though I find it needs cleaning a couple of times a day.Battery life I find more than acceptable for my purposes and with a mix of WhatsApp, Facebook, Bluetooth streaming to my car on the way to and from a ride and then being the Bluetooth Live Track connected device to my Garmin I find it lasts just over a day. Lots of video streaming does chew through the battery life as the display is always on, but that's the same for all phones.Overall I’m very pleased and can’t fault it.

Let me elaborate on the statement above. This device is £159 ( at the time of purchase) and at such a tiny size of 3inch, you'd expect a slow and barely useable handset with probably a cut down version of Android Go instead of the full version Android. You'll be sorely mistaken!This device comes with an Octa-core (8x) processor equipped with 6GB of RAM and comes with a full version of Android 10 out of the box with an already available Android 11 update once you set up your phone.Because of this, the screen is quite responsive and scrolling is quite snappy. This device is NOT slow. It's essentially a Mid-range Android handset that normally cost £500 but in a small package. One thing to note is that a lot of the mid range Android device tend to come with 3GB to 4GB RAM and rarely come with 6GB. The processor in this device might be about 1 or 2 years old but because it was a mid/high end processor back then, still makes it more than adequate for this device.If you're sick and tired of carrying 6.5+ inch devices then this might be your secondary phone or even a primary phone for you. You'll not miss out on your every day apps including banking apps etc plus you have NFC for contactless payments.Pros:- Dual SIM or 1 SIM and 1 expandable memory card but it already comes with 128GB internal memory.- Headphone jack!! (What did Samsung & Apple say about their big phones? Not enough space for a headphone jack?)- NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, IR Blaster (InfraRed so you can use your device as a remote control for TV etc)- Full Android 10 (to 11 after update) instead of Android Go so most of your standard apps are supported- 6GB RAM & 128GB internal memory giving it plenty of memory to even game!!- Mobile hot spotting, if I travel or go somewhere for a few days then I tend to carry my tablet so mobile tethering is perfect so If I need the big screen experience then I can always tether my Jelly 2 to my tablet.- The size of the device is just perfect. Although I think a 3.5inch might be the sweet spot with a slightly better resolution.- You get a silicone case plus screen protector (1 already applied on the screen and a replacement in the box). The silicon case also has a lanyard hole and box containts a wrist lanyard so you can easily tie it to your wrist.- Comes with a charging brick plus USB Type C cable! (Looking at you Samsung & Apple!)Cons:- Bluetooth 4.2 is good but should've had 5.0 & above which allows for multicast so you can connect 2 bluetooth headphones to 1 device so 2 people can listen to music on the same device (this feature is rare and not all Bluetooth 5+ devices support it).- The volume on bluetooth headphones or even when connected to your car is just too low. Connected this Jelly 2 to my Sennheiser HD 450 BT noice cancelling headphones and even at max volume on both the phone and the headphones, it still feels really low. It's equivalent of 50% volume on a Samsung handset. The same happens when connected to your car, you'd not only have volume at max on your phone but you'll potentially need to have it on max on your car too.- The fingerprint scanner rarely works. It rarely recognises my finger prints. I've tried numerous times to re-scan my finger print but it rarely recognises it so I rely on pin code but because the screen is so small, you can easily key the pin code with just your thumb and just as fast.- No IP rating so there's no splash or water resistance on this device so please be aware. Unihertz however does offer another device which is the Atom and Atom XL with IP68 that are built for rugged use but they're more bulky.Conclusion:If you're tired of the ever growing in size smartphones that we currently have or you're looking for a secondary phone without losing app functionality then this device might be for you. If you like going on night outs or travelling alot and don't want to carry oversized expensive phones that can potentially be lost or stolen then this might be for you. Phones are getting bigger these days but pockets are not! Funny enough, the smallest screen size that's offered by Samsung in their latest line up of phones (2021) is currently 6.4inch. This phone is 3inch!!!

I didn't think I would be too bothered about the screen size with my hawk eyesight, but the fonts hurt your eyes and you can't go making them too large on such a small screen. It just feels more like a kid phone. But it's very good value otherwise - performance is very good, camera detail is surprising on this size of a phone and good for the price. A bit on the thick size but you trade one dimension for another, and it still disappears into the pocket (that you can't feel it, not that it's not visible because it stands out as a bulge). I should've gone for a foldable for a more serious phone. The screen size just takes you by surprise even though you know you've ordered a small phone - 10cm sounds like more but there are those bezels and the rounded corners...

I bought this phone because, tired of lugging a phablet around in my hand all the time, I wanted something that I could keep in my pocket. This phone fits the bill perfectly.PROS:• It's well-made• Fully-featured Android functionality• Looks nice• Feels good in the hand• Fits in your jeans pocket• Charges quickly, even from your computer's USB port• Has proven to be durable• It has a physical audio in/out port for headphonesCONS:• The text on the screen is a bit small if you're old like me, but I use reading glasses and it's fineI can't think, offhand, of any signifiant faults with this phone.Recommended.

I loved the size and functions of the phone and it was a great conversation started, fits into the pocket brilliantly but battery life at best lasted a day and after 2 years they battery started lasting only 4-5 hours, I bought a new battery and fitted it but no change in battery life. Unihertz asked for the battery log and confirmed that there was a hardware issue and told me I would need to buy a new phone, they offered a $45 discount but with shipping charges and delays from China I opted to buy a Samsung with a 3 year warranty.
