I have a friend who purchased this phone and recommended it, so I bought it with the idea I’d try it out for 30 days and return it if I just couldn’t give up my iPhone. I was looking for a phone that was still ‘smart’ but more difficult to use to reduce my screen time. Well needless to say it was not returned — I love it. It makes texting and using apps harder but nowhere near impossible — just difficult enough to not do it mindlessly all day. There is also a desktop app I text from as well, so I just utilize that for any texts longer than a couple sentences etc. The battery life is awesome, especially when I compare it to my old iPhone. It will easily last all day, and it charges SO QUICKLY. I saw one reviewer below had issues with AT&T service — I have AT&T and I haven’t had a single issue. My unlimited data has always worked. My only initial issues were my running app would shut off after 5 minutes (this was due to a default setting I found and changed, all good now), and occasionally the Bluetooth can be spotty. The phone is so light, cute and runs quickly. I’ve had iPhones since they came out and this has been such a refreshing switch. For people looking to minimize phone use but still have a smart phone, this is the phone for you!!

I had the first one via the Kickstarter project and it was a fun toy – this one is much better and serves as my phone, albeit for my second line. I wouldn’t use this as my one and only phone (though I think you could – just a little too small for heavy use), but I have really enjoyed this phone so far and highly recommend. This recommendation comes with the caveats that it is very small, and it is pretty cheap so its a far cry from the 100x zoom I get on my Samsung phone camera, but the Samsung also cost a $1,000 more – again, I wouldn’t want to rely on its camera as my only camera, etc. Also, it doesn’t feel cheap – it has a nice weight and comes with the screen protector and case, both of which I use and are great. I don’t use the finger print reader nor do I use the SD card so I can’t comment on those. Cell use, WiFi, Bluetooth, all have been great.

Fingerprint reader: Not as big as the one on my previous phone. Requires precision on placement.Battery life: Considering I’m not playing games on it, GREAT! I use it for calls, texting (moderate amount), social media/messaging, photos, music (using 432Hz Player Pro), and the battery lasts me 28-36 hours before I plug it in to charge (when it reaches 20-28%).I don’t want/need a $1,000 flagship phone that’s so huge it falls out of my pocket. I don’t need all the extra silly bells and whistles. This phone, for me, is great. It’s small, it’s easy to use, easy to navigate, and runs very quickly with loading what I use. Currently using with Mint Mobile and have zero issues. My daughter wants this as well, so when I decide to get her a new phone, I’ll be coming back to this.

This a perfect phone for someone like me who does not like the larger phones. I can do anything on this smart phone that you can do on a large one. I really like it. Couldn’t be happier. The fingerprint reader is iffy but the facial recognition works good. Small phone has small battery so you can’t complain about battery life.

I have always wanted a small phone but was saddened by a lack of quality or responsiveness but this phone does everything and works amazingly. I’ve used it for several weeks now and am loving it more and more. It works great and handles any application I’ve thrown at it. We had no trouble using it on Mint Mobile. Really great quality and the battery life is nice too! With a full days use it only ever gets down to 40-50%. I am truly but pleasantly surprised what a great phone this is! Only downside is the camera quality isn’t as good as current larger smartphones, but it still works good. Other is that the fingerprint reader is very particular, but as long as you get it just right it still works good as well.

This phone is really cute. It does the job even at half of most mobile phone sizes. This one has a 3 inch screen while many recent phones are now past 6 inches. I have strong eyes (for now), so, reading things on the screen is not problem for me. The lighting on the screen is bright enough and doesn’t hurt my eyes when using it at the normal setting. I only wish this phone had a blue light filter for those who are sensitive.Apps run VERY well on this phone and the interface reacts well to my touch. It’s pretty fast and very decent.If you have big fingers, I wouldn’t get this phone for messaging, though. The keyboard reacts very well to my touch and it even allows me to swipe on the keyboard to make words.Sound on my calls are good and clear. Not super fine or HD quality sound, but, I can hear the caller on the other side very well. It is loud enough. Some reviewers said it sounds tinny, but, I disagree. It’s not tinny. However, on loudspeaker, it IS. Even if I can hear music on its loudspeaker fine, it’s not stereo quality (and it just has one speaker). So, don’t expect Dolby-style sound like you would on your Galaxy S21. Some of the sound on certain YouTube videos aren’t very loud, unfortunately and you won’t be able to hear it well on this phone. I’d say use bluetooth speakers or use a headset (hey it DOES have 3.5mm HEADPHONE JACK, so, there is HOPE after all, for many of us who PREFER a wired headset over bluetooth buds), but, you would probably say “why? I would rather just get a better phone than that, then”. Well, okay, then. I ain’t your papa. You do you, ok? The camera is standard, in my opinion. You can’t expect super high Samsung quality photos on a small, albeit mighty, phone. Pics taken in low lighting aren’t 100% great, but, it does a fine job, depending on your liking. If your kink is in photography, i don’t think I would recommend taking pictures all the time with this phone. I do think unihertz has potential to up the ante on a better quality camera if they ever make a Jelly 3. Now, in terms of video quality…same deal. Average videos. Sound recorded is clear and adequate at best, but at worst, it sounds raspy. Playing the videos I recorded with this phone on my 4K television was how I determined that. Recording at full HD res and with flash didn’t do it much justice either. But, as far as I’m concerned, it’s still a hell of a lot better than what you get for with other phones costing under $200, although I understand POCO phones and Realme phones have much better camera and video quality at just below $300.Although, those are not the real beef I have with this phone. The real beef is the BATTERY.At 2000mAh, I mean…you gotta be kidding me. There are bigger phones with that battery size that lasts longer. If they equipped it with a 3000mAh battery, I probably wouldn’t be complaining. The first 2 days I used my phone with all it’s normal functions, apps, phone calls, etc., my phone lasted 7 hours at most. Luckily I always carry a powerbank with me, so I had to charge this little sucker up to full power, which took about 2 hours. So, not bad on the charging at this point.I used my phone in different settings just to see how I could extend battery life. First, I just kept refraining from using the phone unless I had to reply to a serious message or make necessary phone calls, and I would use a bluetooth dialer to answer any other phone call. That did work, but I managed to only gain an extra 2-3 hours of extra life. So, not very much help. Then I used the battery saver function, while using bluetooth dialer to make and answer calls. A little more decent. I just gained an extra 5 hours of life. That was the only upside, but, still, not at all pleased with the battery life of this phone. They could have given the phone a 3000 mAh and I would get a decent 16 hours of use, if not a full day.All in all, you get what you pay for. It’s a cute phone. I won’t deny that. I love it. I just wish that, while it is value for money, a lot more could have been done to this little gem. Better camera and video quality and stabilization as well, and a longer-lasting battery.

Ok.. since I’m in a uber I might as well write a review! Ok… So I love small phones. ( I just hate that they don’t give us options for them anymore) I searched on youtube ( during work) lol and came across this perfect phone! Instead of writing a long review imma just say I have the google pixel 5 and I just sold the iPhone mini 12 and I love THIS one wayyyy better!! It’s not legging. Not slow or anything! It’s literally giving me google pixel 5 in a mini form ! Now I won’t be taking pictures with this just because it’s to small to try. But BUY IT… And at the end of the day it’s amazon.. if I don’t like it return it lol

I rarely write reviews but since this is a somewhat niche product I figured it might be helpful. I used to have a Samsung s9 and when it came time to change phones I decided to get this instead. I was never a heavy smartphone user but this phone makes sure that I only use my phone for what is absolutely necessary. It isn’t a portal into a world of ads and trackers.. It’s just a phone that has internet, maps, and email, etc, and it fits nicely into your pocket. No problems or glitches after 3 months. I will update if any issues come up.

The specs and features on this phone are absolutely insane for the price! The only thing comparable to it is the Google Pixel 3a, and I love this so much better for the extra 2g of ram and extra storage [Pixel has this camera beat pretty bad tho]. In terms of specs, I think it’s the best deal out there for android users. On top of this, I LOVE the small android phones of old. For me, this is the perfect size. It’s not too small for videos and games, but encourages me to use them less. I can also carry it my limited pocket space along with my concealed carry in FL. Also, the small screen makes it’s already large battery seem like double! If you want a small phone, it’s truly amazing. With all my heart, please buy this phone so they will continue making new updates!!! 🙂 I’ve considered buying back ups in case I break mine and they run out.

Update 25May2021: A great phone is even better. The first software update made it so that the battery icon now displays a visual indicator of charge level or a percentage of charge remaining even while in battery saver mode. Props to Unihertz for implementing that change.—–I tend to only use a phone for talk and text, and prefer models that are smaller than my iPod Touch, preferably a good bit smaller. Preferably the size of my old LG enV2, if I’m being honest.I used the Unihertz Atom for a month but found the keyboard too small even for my minimal uses. It was excellent as a way to deter excessive, or any, screen use, but even typing a word or two was frustrating. I switched to Jelly 2 about a month ago and the difference is amazing. I am absolutely in love with this little phone!Even with my bad eyes and clumsy fingers, texting is very doable with no more errors than I make on my iPod Touch keyboard, especially with the Swiftkey keyboard app that supports swype typing. I wouldn’t want to type long emails on it, but I have no problem texting or typing short emails. Discord, Facebook, Flickr and Chrome are all very functional and easy to use even on such a small screen. Despite the fact that I try to limit my phone use to talk and text, I find myself using it for other functions that I’d normally use over WIFI with my iPod Touch.I appreciate that Jelly 2 has more RAM and storage than Atom, and that it supports a micro SD card in the second SIM slot. I’m using it with a Verizon SIM card that was activated in a Verizon phone and switched to the Jelly 2. So far, no problems with Verizon as my service provider. Although I liked the rubberized grip of Atom, I prefer the removable case that Jelly 2 has, and hope it will be available as a separate purchase and in different colors at some point.I prefer the older Android app drawer style UI, but the Clean Launcher app decently provides that functionality. I’d also like it to have a larger battery, although I know that’s a trade off with keeping the device size small. I was getting 3 days between charges with the Atom but can’t seem to go more than 2 with Jelly 2, probably because I’m tempted to use it for more than just talk and text. Overnight battery drain is about 1% per hour on standby in battery saver mode. I don’t like that you can’t see the battery charge level in battery saver mode. The icon at the top doesn’t display a visual level or percentage.If you value a small footprint over screen or battery size, Jelly 2 can absolutely function as a main smart phone replacement. If you enjoy watching videos or playing games on your phone or need to do a lot of typing, it may not be the best choice. If you want a tiny, rugged phone to use as a temporary alternate to a larger or more fragile device, or something that will really discourage screen use, go with the Atom.Photos below include a comparison with the Unihertz Atom, iPod Touch and LG enV2.
