Unihertz Jelly 2: Review After 4 Months of Daily Use
This is my review of the Unihertz Jelly 2 Smartphone after daily use for 4 months. This video is intended for anyone looking to purchase this phone, ask questions about it, and to send it to the developers to hopefully make a better product next time around.

    How is the keyboard? Is it too small?

    Regarding the fingerprint reader: for better results I have registered the same finger multiple times to give it even more variations (i.e Finger 1 and Finger 3 are both my left forefinger, Finger 2 and Finger 4 are both my right forefinger). It does seem to help.

    the second chrome icon is in the home row, the other one is a simple app icon in a folder. same app, though. you can change everything. i don't think it's the screen that's cracked, but the glass protector?

    I just want to add, I have a Jelly Star and the sd card can NOT be encrypted. No doubt it's probably the same for Jelly 2 since it's an older phone. Unless you are okay with someone having full access to all your photos and videos, you are only limited to the internal storage when it comes to securing your data. If someone finds your phone, they will have full access to your sd card.

    I only now came about your video and I really appreciate it. I'm considering a Jelly in 2023 but the new Star version seems weird. Do you still use it? Does it still work?

    Jelly star is not better from jelly2 I want to know which one to buy

    • @waryth4475
      @waryth4475 7 місяців тому

      Well actually Jelly Star is better than Jelly 2 hardware and software wise. The only annoying thing with the Jelly Star is its LED at the back to be power consuming along with its power processor compared to Jelly 2. They do said you can throttle the hardware so it won't consume a lot of power so I'm thinking of buying the star as well. The LED seems optional but the design at the back looks awful for my taste compared to Jelly 2. They added that feature so that its easier to get notified with the huge LED blinking and catching your attention. The camera is so bad in Jelly 2 equivalent to Nokia camera quality or a cheap webcam. I'm fine with it but some important stuff like reading QR code takes time and picturing documents. My Jelly 2's fingerprint sensor just stopped working on its own after 2 years now of excessive use. I've barely dropped it at all for the fingerprint to be damaged. It broke out of wear and tear. Not everyone uses fingerprint sensor but its actually a huge plus for a small phone instead of putting pin/password/swipe. People complain about its inaccurate fingerprint but I actually registered 2 fingerprint of the same finger to accurately process it. It's really feels cheap and plastic but with its built-in rubber case its really feels more durable and better. The rubber casing is awful though they get covered with dirt overtime within a year more or less so in my experience there's no way I can get rid of those grimes. Instead of buying the another one of the same type I just bought a third party black case which makes it look better. The volume and power buttons gets stuck after years of use. It's worse than a gaming device wear and tear button Only one button which is the programmable button that never gets stuck for 2 years now. Upon reading Jelly Star reviews, they have better durable buttons than Jelly 2 has to offer. It supports modern android version as well. In my opinion you should buy Jelly Star because you'll just regret not having it after purchasing Jelly 2. When you face direct sunlight, Jelly 2 has its brightness limit. Jelly Star has a higher brightness setting than Jelly 2 if you plan to use a small phone outdoors.

    I used one of these for a little while. I think it’s cool but just a little too small. I think something like the Galaxy S10e or iPhone 12/13 mini in size are more practical.

  • @smellymala3103

    The first model was my favorite phone ever… I’m gonna hear the entire review so I’m not ordering on nostalgia…. But I might order on nostalgia plus a closeted nothing fetish?

    • @smellymala3103
      @smellymala3103 9 місяців тому

      Friend what a great, fair review on only the most pragmatic aspects of this phone!! I’m going to have to think a lot before I divide my carry device from iMessage, but I might miss the form factor enough. I want to recommend a couple things, in case they could improve your experience! Firstly, I began my relationship with unihertz at the same time I was in a period of feverish mala use, along with a bit so stable mind. I ordered the rubber case and this small phone so I could keep it around my neck with the thing I used most. It was very safe there, and also suffered some regrettable drops with no screen damage. It did very well even at the opposite end of my key lanyard, which is a half pound reminder not to buy too many doors in life. Unfortunately, the usb port (micro on that model) kept failing due to whatever stress I was putting on it, and in the end I was charging the batteries with an ancient cell phone and swapping between two portless jellies. They’re in the data recovery graveyard and their successor was the illustrious Nokia 800 Tough, May I Someday Recase My 6300 Within Him Yea… now for environmental convenience… it’s true… I bought an iPhone for AirDrop and the OPZ app 😭 Oh, which reminds me!!! Check GitHub for a CFW that will roll on your unlocked device, and some haughty need may have selected to work on that camera. Love you bro and I hope your life is so very grand! Based palm tattoo!!

    Are you sure that your screen is cracked? It looks like you have a glass screen protector over top of it and that looks like what is cracked.

    @socamigaming1852 Рік тому

    The phone screen is not actually broken because if you peel in the top left or top right corner, then it’s actually just a screen protector that you broke and they normally give you a spare to replace it with.

    • @nebulous962
      @nebulous962 11 місяців тому

      i think it may actually be the screen. i am fairly confident that the phone comes with plastic screen protector and i don't think plastic screen protector cracks.

    The 2 chrome icons on your home screen is likely just 2 seperate shortcuts leading to the same app. You can tell by looking at the list of all the installed apps. Its not like the iphone where every app has an icon on the home screen
