@@michaelmuncy8136 That's the case for every phone... it just happens immediately with Unihertz. With most phones, you get at least 2/3 years of safe use - now as much as 7 with flagship devices.
I've had mine for less than a full day, and I still have to get out of the new-phone-fever phase to tell if it's actually helped me reduce screen time, but I already love how small it is- I have hated the ballooning size of smartphones, and was sad to see the smaller-size options slowly fall off.
I also want dis form factor but the price to performance what keeps holding me back though it's super portable too. Even though I don't like Iphone, I like the Iphone 5 size back in the day wish phone companies make compact, easy to one held.
I understand your worry that this doesn't have the latest and great specs, but let me assure you: it doesn't matter. Honestly, anything that came out after 2020 runs pretty damn well. Having gone from a Galaxy Flip 5 to this, I'm not bothered at all.
Yeah, typing isn't tough, at all. Predictive text and voice-to-text, make the smaller keyboard a non-issue. I've had the Jelly 2 for a few years now and it's just perfect. Kickstarter is about to begin for the Jelly Max. No solid info as of now but it'll probably be a bit smaller than the iphone 13 mini.
I had to carry a second phone for work. I got one of those tiny 2G phones the size of your thumb. I used it until they turned off the 2G network, it was FANTASTIC 👍😁
@@TheFoxyKevinT It's a Yamayahoo BM50. It worked great, 2 day battery. Good audio, nice ringtones etc Apparently they're very popular with prison inmates....🤔 It's an Asia/Africa/European GSM phone 900 & 1800mhz only.
Wish they made it a little smaller like the Jelly Pro. I've been using the Jelly Pro for three years now. Looking to buy a Star, but still not sure because lf the increased size. Not too much though, but the PRO is so convenient.
@@wahidpawana424 It's funny. I literally received mine yesterday, haha. I love it. The camera is really bad and it's EXTREMELY small. Those aren't big problems for me; in fact, it's better that way. I just want to get away from social media and cellphone addiction. Good luck with your own experience!
I've had the Jelly 2 for three years now. I've been very happy with it and it is till kicking and is more than capable to keep up. ..But the downside is that it only got one OS update to Android 11, over two years ago in january 2022. Now i have to get a new phone cause the one i have has outdated security and is no linger safe to use according to my bank provider. I'm afraid the Jelly Star will also be abandoned within a year or so.
It's possible. By then, there should be a successor. I know "just buy the new version" is a shitty workaround, but it's probably how it's gonna be. At least it's $200-ish and not $1000!
@@TheFoxyKevinT that's great news, that means I can use it to video call on Google meet. I'm glad there really is no sacrifice in performance or usability for the small form factor. My Samsung watch should work. NFC works. Now I know I can Video chat with My family. I think I'm sold. At least it's affordable enough to give it a try before I drop big money on the zflip5. I'm tired of the size of my s22ultra. I've removed all social Media from my life. But I still like useful online banking and watching Podcasts which stops me from just getting a Nokia 3120 or something similar. I can't remember the last time I used my s pen.
@@TheFoxyKevinT That's too bulky and way too pricey for it's specification. Also that one has a backfiring loudspeaker which is really annoying at this time.
@@ehsansiam3123 The backfiring speaker is definitely lame, but it's not bulky, as it's actually smaller than the Atom. The price is not much more than the Jelly Star, and the specs are very similar, so it's interesting you'd say that.
>uses a literal brick to count his calories
the madman 🤣
When I use it that way, I only have to charge it once a month!
And it reduces screentime on my actual phone. Haha.
Literally the only thing stopping me buying one... zero updates. No new versions, no security patches... it's obsolete even before it's delivered.
Personally, I've never been inconvenienced by that, but it's a fair enough dealbreaker.
To call the phone obsolete because a lack of updates means you’re probably not the target audience for this
@@michaelmuncy8136 That's the case for every phone... it just happens immediately with Unihertz. With most phones, you get at least 2/3 years of safe use - now as much as 7 with flagship devices.
No updates sounds like a plus for me. No updates means it can't get any worse than when it started.
@@SonOfNiall Interesting perspective.
I still want one, I keep waiting until I can afford one!
I installed GCam camera app, surprisingly works well, picture quality much better. Love it
Interesting. I downloaded it, and it didn't change the quality at all. Maybe I got a shit version. Where'd you get yours form?
Jelly 'Max' coming soon. Slightly bigger
Not sure I'll get one, honestly.
The Tank Mini 1 is pretty good so far.

Been using the jelly 2 since 2021, and jelly star since launch...I just love swipe typing. Never going back to normal since smartphones
That’s honestly really cool 😮
Almost 5 months in, it's still pretty cool.
It just sucks when you have to show someone something. Haha.

I'm 100% with you, I upgraded from a samsung a53. never going back.
"Upgraded"
Hell yeah, (wo)man.

@@edwardfletcher7790 Wow, I can see the appeal.
If it came out 20-ish years ago, it'd be the coolest thing I'd have ever seen.

Smaller?? Man, you must use voice-to-text a lot!
I have jell star too and love it the unihertz 8849 tank mini looks good though
It does, but the 4-inch screen is a bit much for me now.
And the weight.
Might go for it eventually, though.
Hi! I ordered one of this on this days. I upgraded from a z flip 5 too. Nice review. I want to use it like a tool. Not for wasting my time. Thanks!
Nice, man! I still have my Flip 5 somewhere in case I need a decent camera. Haha. But my main phone is 100% the Jelly Star.
Edit: Tank Mini 1 now.
Similar. I upgraded from flip 4. My only gripe with it is the terrible GPS and having no support for aptx Bluetooth.

The next Jelly is the Jelly Max, it's going to be bigger. Hopefully they will make a Jelly 3 in the same size as the Jelly 2 but bigger screen.
They should come with a tiny stylus with them to type with!!
That would be hilarious to see.
@@TheFoxyKevinT I have nimble fingers, and a steady hand, but my eyes are not so good anymore, so it would help in my case.

Yep, it does. And the main camera is surprisingly decent, too.

I broke the screen on the first drop, still works fine ordered a new screen. But yeah these aren't that durable.
That's funny. I just dropped my phone today, and it's fine. I guess it's all about the angle.
@@TheFoxyKevinT true
Are you getting the jelly max😮
Probably not, as I have the Tank Mini 1. Same screen size, except it can survive anything.
Its a petty cool phone
I honestly love it.
I wish there was a 5 inch version. I feel like five inch is the sweet spot. Or 4.5 inch.
Heads-up: Unihertz also has the Tank Mini 1. It has a 4.3" screen, and I may or may not have one.

They just announced they'll be launching the Jelly Max which is rumored to have a screen size of about 4.5" 🤩
It is faster than Iphone SE 2020 A13 Bionic
Yeah, it's impressive how powerful it is.
The way people lie in their thumbnails bothers me. I wish you wouldn't do that.
If you click a video without reading the title, you're not gonna make it.
Literally 4 in is humongous
Hehe.
