Unihertz Jelly Star, The World's Smallest 4G Android 13 Smartphone Transparent Design LED Light NFC OTG, Black (Support T-Mobile & Verizon only)

This phone is NOT a gimmick or a toy... it is the real deal, just in a much smaller package than the standard movie-theater-screen-size' phones of the day [think old flip-phone size with best contemporary smartphone feature set]. I am a business owner and a 'power user' of my devices, requiring much more in the way of performance/feature set than simply doom-scrolling IG/FB or vanity texting. Just returned from a week-long business trip and was amazed how competent and convenient this phone is. Yes, it is small [almost unbelievably so, when you first take it out of the box], but I was surprised how quickly I grew comfortable with viewing on the very small screen [resolution/brightness/clarify is stellar] and even ACCURATELY texting on the micro keypad [the voice to text feature is a blessing, alternatively]... and at 6'3" I have pretty big hands/thumbs, and at 60, modest eyesight. It is about 50% thicker than a typical smartphone but that turned out to be a good thing, making it fit in your hand very comfortably/controllably when using it [it doesn't feel 'big' in your pocket... I actually had to check to make sure I had it in my pocket it is so unobtrusive]. With Android 13, biometric security [fingerprint AND facial recognition both work brilliantly], NFC, great cellular connectivity, 8 GB RAM/256 GB of built-in storage, dual global/LTE nano SIM slots [second slot can be used for either second SIM card or micro SD card, acceptable 4G mobile data speed [honesty, I didn't even think about the data speed when using it in any situation] and a 2,000 mAh battery [seriously, more than plenty to use the phone all day without concern] and recharges UNBELIEVABLY fast [like, '20 minutes' fast], a L-O-U-D ringer/speaker [scary loud], Gorilla glass buttery smooth, uber-responsive screen, its bulletproof performance and first-tier feature set really belies its size. Call quality [both directions] was loud and crystal clear. I even very comfortably watched a movie with it on the plane. Again, it is NOT a toy... it is a pocket-size warrior that does what it was intended to do brilliantly. It was refreshing not to have an electronic cinder block in my pocket the entire trip. Honestly, I just can't see myself returning to a standard 6"-screen device again. And for a little over $200, it is a bargain. My Apple 15 iPhone snobby wife was even impressed with it and she HATES tech in general, especially anything to do with Android. Also, EVERYONE I ran across on my trip was mesmerized by its size... from business associates to the gate agent boarding me with an airline app... it was like walking a Great Dane through the park... it caught everyone's attention and they instantly 'got it' regarding its compactness. Don't worry/bother with an aftermarket case... the little rubbery case it comes with is durable, grippy [without attracting lint/dirt] and feels good/controllable in the hand. I turned off the gimmicky/overblown LED lights on the back of the phone. Get it! Seriously, give it a week [or two] and you will never go back to a overkill 6"-screen smartphone.UPDATE: 6 months in now with this phone. I absolutely LOVE it. I could not return to the monster 6" smart phone again. Seriously, give it a try, give it a few months and you will be sold.

I could sing this things praises for days. It's actually crazy how much this phone does in such a small package. If you're not interested in a flashy camera or playing games, this phone will do absolutely everything you need it to and more.This thing turns heads. It's a total novelty, so if you go ANYWHERE with it and use it for tap-to-pay, everyone asks about it. If you hate attention and repeating yourself nearly everywhere you go so you may love that or hate it.The fingerprint scanner was a little finicky. I had to be right on the money with it or it would fail, but the face recognition was on point so I rarely had to use the scanner.I must have dropped it so much it thought it was part hacky-sack, but it still runs like new.I will admit, the battery life is... very poor. I have the eufy app on mine and lord knows what a power drain that app is even in sleep mode. Assuming I didn't have too many background apps running, a full charge could keep it going the 16 hours I needed it, but if you install a juice hog of an app, prepare to charge twice a day. That said, the thing charges 0-80% in, like, 30 minutes if you have a good charger, so it's not that big of a deal in my opinion. Plus, unlike with most phones, extra battery packs go REEEAAALLLYYY far with this thing, which is great for something like camping where you're not going to have an outlet near you for a weekend!My pro tip? Use swipe-to-type and this thing gets so much easier. I was really trying to tap away on the tiny screen with ever message and fat-fingering 10 of the keys at once. Swipe-to-type brought my words-per-minute close to what it was on my old iPhone 12 mini.My only complaint isn't with the phone, but with cell providers. The only provider I could find that it worked for was Mint Mobile. I don't dislike mint. They're a fine company. It's just that having options would be really nice.

I got this phone because I want to disconnect a little without being completely disconnected. The small screen is the perfect size for that. I can do pretty much anything I could with a normal smartphone but it's not as addictive. I love the small size for texting with one hand and for the comfort in the pocket as well. Android works well on it, camera is great, and I like the LED lights. There's also a notification light on the front which I've found really nice. Phone comes with a case and screen protector which is really nice too. I also love the programmable exterior button.The negatives are pretty minor but worth knowing about. The fingerprint reader doesn't seem to work as well as my old phone for some reason. My old phone read my fingerprint 99% of the time but this one is more like 80%. It's not a huge issue but noticeable. The battery life seems shorter than I would have expected too. Definitely enough to get through the day but not as long as I would have thought for such a small phone. I use T-mobile, and when I put in the SIM card I got a text from them saying the device was "partially compatible" meaning it doesn't have all the LTE bands, but I haven't noticed any issues with coverage or speed where I live. The keypad is a little small for me. I sometimes mistype things with my giant hands but it's still pretty good. I just need to focus a little more. One of the advertised features is that the phone can double as a remote control but it would only find the power button for my TV and not any of the other buttons (I have an older TV so maybe that's the issue). The biggest negative for me is that the ring vibration is pretty low and so I rarely notice when someone calls me unless I have a nonsilent ringtone. The problem is that both notifications and ring volume are connected in settings and so I can't have a ring without getting a chime for notifications too (which I don't want). I've just been missing calls which is fine but if someone has a need for more reachability they might want to think about getting something else if they don't want notification chimes. Finally, my eyes do strain sometimes when I'm reading the small screen for very long.Overall I like the phone and intend on keeping it and I love that unihertz is creating some cool products that no one else is even close to thinking about.

Wow! I blows me away that this phone is less than $250. Yes it is about the size of a pill bottle, but it packs a ton of power in such a tidy size.Unlike other small phones that are in novelty, this is an actual tool. My Galaxy is now sitting off to the side for when I want to indulge in time wasting but this is perfect for trying to limit my screen time.Aside from that, it's a solidly built little phone and the performance is impressive. This can truly replace a full size phone if you know the caveats.The only negative part, is the speakerphone isn't super loud. Yes, you could certainly hear the conversation, but it's not as loud as one might be used to on a bigger phone - again to be expected.

I’ve tried a couple different models of tiny phones and this one hits high on my list.pros: 60Hz screen, long battery life, fast chipset, sd slot, minimal bezels, finger print reader, 8gb RAM, 256gb storage, overall feeling in hand.Cons: quality of final product leaves room for improvement.Issues: first purchase the proximity sensor did not work out of the box. Second purchase the rear camera stopped working after a month.I love this little phone but had to stop myself from buying a third one.Summary: best tiny phone spec wise, needs improvements. Will watch for next version.

I wanted to like this phone. Small, efficient and minimalist enough to be perfect for separating work from life and the action button on the side seemed like a bonus. The problem is that I wanted to use this with Teams calls, which is all I ever get these days. Because the company uses the defaults to manage Android devices with Intune, one can only use those certified as Android Enterprise ready. Of course your $800 big screen android devices are in there but I already have a big phone and didn’t want to mix work and business. The other negative issue is that the company doesn’t release OS updates at all. Even if the company decided to allow Teams with Android and did not require Intune at all, Microsoft only supports the latest OS, which is now Android 15 minus three. This means that if your company even allows this device, it will be no good by this same time next year… if you are one of those people, maybe the Jelly Star with Android 13 will work for you. It’s heavier and still doesn’t have eSIM because it doesn’t support 5G. Neither does the Jelly Star. I wanted to like both but they will have to go back because I can’t use them for Teams chats with Intune.

If you are using a flip phone, and are feeling the pressure to upgrade to a fully featured smart phone this might be the perfect phone for you. I had no desire to become one of the phone gazing masses that litter the lobbies, streets and malls. All I wanted was something I could order Chick-fil-a with and maybe watch some videos if I had to. Mine came with android 13 and was easy to figure out. While the keyboard is tiny and barely usable, you can easily text your contacts with your voice. The camera is decent.

I keep looking around for a better phone, but I have yet to find one.Despite my XL glove size hands, I really like the form factor of this phone. Getting pretty good at typing in portrait mode. Extremely fast for things like google maps. Fits easily in a pocket. One handed operation and easy to hold and use when using map directions. Charges really fast. All the other stuff (bluetooth, wifi, etc) works like it should.So why look for another phone? The main drawback on this phone is the camera. Or rather the camera's software. It compresses the pictures too much. Doesn't do low light particularly well. Having said that, I can take some good photos with it, just not all of them.But I really don't want a honking great phone to lug around. As far as I can tell there just aren't any small phones out there that have the speed and power of this one. I leave most of the photo taking to the spouse.Would be really nice if they come up with exactly this, but with better camera s/w. Plus move up to 5G. Then it would be perfect. As it is, I find it better for my needs that anything else I can find out there. For now, anyway.

Smartphone incroyable, il fait tout mais en mini donc on est vraiment pas tenté de scroller c'est top ! Seul petit bémol pour la batterie qui se décharge assez rapidement... Néanmoins le smartphone se recharge très vite donc ce n'est pas très dérangeant.

I’m very happy with this phone! At first, I was hesitant to use it as my primary device and always carried a full-sized smartphone with me when leaving the house. However, it has proven to be a great phone, and it’s now my main smartphone.Because of its small size, I’m much less likely to spend excessive time browsing the web, which was exactly what I hoped for when choosing this model. That said, it includes all the essential features I missed in basic phones. There’s no 5G, but in a city with good coverage, I don’t notice any difference. The camera isn’t great, but it works fine for documenting something or making video calls.The keyboard is very small, but since I have small hands, I got used to it quickly. Swiping to type without lifting my finger makes it much more convenient on such a tiny keyboard.All the drawbacks come from the challenge of fitting full smartphone functionality into such a compact device, but for me, these small inconveniences are worth it. Holding this phone feels great, it fits into all pockets—even those in women's clothing (if you know, you know!), and call quality is good on both ends.I also love that it comes with a loop for holding and has a dedicated attachment point on the case—sure, you can buy such accessories separately, but having one included is a nice touch. I really hope Unihertz continues making similar models, even if they remain a niche product.

I only use the phone for listening to music whilst running. Despite its small screen, apps like apple music work perfectly. Also the addition of NFC means i can leave my wallet at home. Also a great phone to disconnect from social media and youtube and other addictive apps.Camera is definitely average at best and I wouldn’t be able to use this as my main phone. But i think many will see specific scenarios where this phone will useful to them and for them i recommend it fully.

Super téléphone,L'écran est petit mais je n'ai pas de problème à écrire des messages avec et ne fais quasiment jamais aucune erreur de frappe.Le téléphone est très puissant,fluide et rapide. Les fonctionnalités marchent pour l'instant très bien ( NFC, bluetooth, .... ). La qualité photo est suffisante pour des documents est paysage et l'objectif est plutôt bon par rapport au reste du marché.Je tiens à remercier unihertz pour leur haut parleur de très bonne qualité pour un téléphone.Bref pour l'instant super, après à voir dans le temp si je n'ai pas de problèmes 🤞Update après 5 mois. Je l'ai fait tomber ( c'est de ma faute, sur des cailloux d'assez haut, bref le pire ... ), l'écran est cassé. Heureusement unihertz fourni la pièce ( un peu chère pour du lcd ), la réparation est facile, un torx 2 et c'est tout ( pas de seche cheveux ou de colle ). Conclusion après 3 mois la réparation est parfaite et je n'ai jamais eu de problème avec.

Cooles Teil! Das passt wirklich noch gut in jede Hosentasche. Wertig verarbeitet und gute Haptik. Klar ist die Tastatur klein, aber das sollte logisch sein, wenn man sich das Gerät kauft. Android läuft prima, ruckelfrei, genügend Speicher, gutes Display und die Kamera reicht vollkommen für schöne Schnappschüsse aus. Natürlich nicht vergleichbar mit High-End-Geräten mit mehreen Objektiven. Bie normaler Nutzung kommt man mit dem Akku 2 Tage. Der Fingersensor funktioniert auch super, Gesichtserkennung habe ich nicht probiert.
