After having a PALM phone for over a year, I was really needing something with the same size but a realistic battery was a must. If you are a palm user looking for a phone that doesn’t force you to carry a charger everywhere you go, then this is the best phone for you. The screen is not as nice as the palm and it is a bit thicker, but it still pockets nicely and its way more rugged. I’m not sure that the camera’s are as good as they claim in the specs, but they are adequate. You will get a headphone jack and mobile hotspot both features the palm does not have. I get better cell reception and better wifi reception than I had with the palm. But most importantly, The battery is excellent. I can use speaker phone for extended calls and not have to worry about charging during the call like I did with the palm. In fact the palm would get really hot during a 10 minute phone call because the battery was draining so fast. The water proof nature of this phone is just as good as the palm, I have had both phones slightly submerged with no issues. The flashlight is a bit brighter than the palm’s and the phone is much faster to respond to google assistant voice commands. I have not had any luck getting it to work with Android Auto yet, but I haven’t tried much to fix that yet.My complaints:The screen resolution is pretty poor. The side buttons for volume don’t control ringer volume. No wireless charging. The camera should take better pictures considering its ratings.

I really enjoy this phone as it can do everything that a regular size phone can. The biggest benefit to me is it’s small size and it’s rugged durability. At times it can be hard to text or send an email but in portrait view it’s very doable. If I find myself writing a long email on my phone I’ll simply hit the microphone button for speech to text recognition. I’ve had absolutely no issues with this phone and it is the best phone I have ever owned. It is a welcomed experience to no longer have a large brick of a cell phone in my pocket when I go about my day. The camera is excellent for my standards (16 megapixels), the battery easily lasts all day, and the software is extremely quick and responsive. Also, unlike many other phones there are hardly any factory installed apps on the phone that you can’t delete. The amount of memory on this phone is more than adequate. I use this phone as a GPS like anyone else would with their smartphone and the GPS is outstanding as well. YouTube Works excellent and the low screen resolution is not a big deal because the screen is so small that it still is Crystal clear despite the low resolution. I use this as my primary phone day in and day out, and when comparing it to my other large phones in the past, I can’t think of one single thing I can no longer do by going to this smaller phone. For what it’s worth, I wrote this review on my unihertz Atom phone. I will probably never go back to a normal size phone again 🙂

This is my first smartphone. I have been pretty happy with a flip phone for years, but my friends have smartphones and want to text and share photos, so I was kind of troublesome for them. This absolutely meets my needs. I can see that someone with fat fingers might have trouble with the keyboard, but it is fine for me. The battery life is not very long, but since I’m not messing with it all the time, it’s okay for me. The screen is very clear for such a small phone. And it’s so little and cute! I do some hiking and like having a device for geographical coordinates to carry with me, and this phone is perfect. The camera is not great, but I have actual camera equipment that I prefer to use. So, this phone is probably not what many people would want, but I love it!

I’ve been looking for a smartphone that isn’t massive like all the mainstream behemoths. This is the best one I can find so far. To be honest, it’s not my ideal phone, but it’s close. I have the Jelly pro, and would stick with that, but the battery life on that phone is abysmal. It’s great to be able to swap it easily, but if I’m swapping because it doesn’t last more than a few hours, that’s no good. The Atom has more than double the capacity, and that’s enough. I’d still like to be able to swap the battery out easily, but I understand that the Atom is designed as a rugged/waterproof phone, so it makes sense that you can’t.Battery life is good, it lasted all day for me YMMV. Compared to the Jelly pro, this phone is pretty thick and heavy. I assume a fair amount of that space and weight is due to the larger battery.It would be amazing if the screen took up nearly all the face of the device like mainstream trends, but that’s a compromise I’m willing to live with. I love how small it is, but I’d actually prefer a slightly larger screen.The precision of the touch interface is incredible for a screen this size. I have large fingers, and I rarely select something I’m not aiming for. The only problem I’ve found with the screen size and touch precision is when using a swype style keyboard, it just doesn’t have enough room to read the swipes accurately. If I type out letters individually it has no problems with accuracy. Considering the fact that half a dozen keys fall under my finger when I type, I’m blown away with it’s ability to know what I’m going for.Since it’s so small I turned on the “play all audio as mono”, and it works just fine. I didn’t see the point of stereo audio when the speakers are only inches apart. It is loud enough that I can use it as an alarm.Bluetooth has connected perfectly anytime I’ve used it thus far. I’ve had no random disconnects or any other issues whatsoever.My Project Fi sim card worked without any trouble, but it reads it as T-Mobile only.Wish it had an SD card slot, but with 64gb of internal storage, this isn’t a big deal.The camera is usable quality, but I’ve only taken two pictures so far, so I can’t really judge. One photo was the standard 16mp 4:3 without HDR, the other was 8mp 4:3 with HDR. The HDR was clearer/better. I don’t take a lot of pictures anyway, so I’m not the greatest to rate quality.The fingerprint reader doesn’t pick up my finger every time, but does at least 50% of the time. I think it’s more because you can only have it recognize a small part of your print due to it’s small size. To help with this, I put in my thumb print as separate prints, just from different angles.The processor and RAM are certainly enough. I haven’t had it freeze or lag on me yet. I don’t game, and wouldn’t suggest gaming on such a small device, but it works well for video, browsing reddit etc.Altogether, a great phone, and I hope Unihertz keeps up the good work. I’ll definitely be looking for their latest model the next time I am looking to upgrade. No phone is perfect, but this one comes pretty close.

I wanted a cool toy! I’m 55 and love this stuff! This phone works perfectly. It does everything. It’s a mid range phone, that’s tiny. Real tiny. I have to wear cheaters to run it, except calls. You can’t text for crap. You have to talk text. Even a stylist is too big! It’s fun. It breaks the ice in conversations. Everyone is amazed. Don’t buy it for the camera. Or anything that you need a larger screen. It’s rugged, it’s a chunk. It’s bullet proof. Calls are amazing! Remember to turn the volume down. I bought a watch for music at the gym. Pain in the butt to load. This I throw in my shorts pocket and sweat and have no worries because it’s waterproof. And you don’t need a phone protector. It’s a beast just the way it is. It comes with a screen protector. Which is fine. But it’s gorilla glass. And the screen protector was unnecessary. I thought when I bought it, I’d check it out and return it. But I’m keeping it. It does everything you would expect! Scored a 90,000 on antu benchmark. So it’s fast enough. When I need my larger phone, I just slide out my prepay SIM from Verizon and it starts right up. Also, bought because I ride motorcycles, and rain used to be a concern, no more! And talk quality is perfect. I bought this from Amazon and I am an average Joe customer. Have some fun! Buy one.

I have been an anti-smartphone critic for years now. I stubbornly went back to the flip phone and basic phone to break my addiction of getting lost in endless YouTube videos and Amazon pages. Running a business and being a full-time student just made life rough with a flip phone, so I decided to give the ATOM a go. I immediately fell in love with the size, it literally is the size of a small flip phone folded at all times. I have had it for several weeks now and I haven’t once found myself endlessly browsing all kinds of useless web pages, just because the screen is wayy to small to comfortably do that. I’ll lay out some of my pro’s and con’s regarding my take of the phone.Pro’s:-Tiny, fits everywhere, slides in your pocket easily.-Super rugged, I’m an outdoorsy guy who loves snowboarding, biking, hiking, river trips. I would never be scared to take this little brick anywhere.-Excellent responsiveness for a phone that a lot of people may be hesitant about. My GF has the Iphone, and this thing can do just about everything the Iphone does, just in a smaller package.-Looks. It may look a little too outdoorsy and military style to some, but I really like that about it.-Camera. Some say the camera isn’t too great, but coming from a 2 megapixel flipphone, the ATOM is full of features and clarity that destroy the basic phones at least.-Battery. For a small phone the battery is really good. The style of the phone just doesn’t encourage playing games and using a bunch of screen time, so the battery will easily last all day. The lowest it has ever got on me during a full day of use (bluetoothing Spotify, using the calendar, and talking on the phone) was 51%.Cons:-Bluetooth. This is the only thing that drives me a little crazy. When I have it paired to my car stereo or headphones I have to physically push the power button on the phone to be able to change the song on the stereo or headphones. Maybe there is some setting that I am missing, I have tried to mess around with the sleep settings, but no success.-Speaker. Granted I could care less about the speaker, but some like listening to music on the tinny phone speakers. This one is on the back and it sounds like an old AM radio speaker. But, for me I don’t care, I like pairing it with my sound systems and blasting Spotify.Other than those 2 small faults this thing is absolutely badass, I highly, highly, highly recommend it if you are looking to break a smartphone addiction, or want a small rugged phone to adventure with. I also bought the clip case that goes on your belt, it works really well and fits the phone perfectly. I am looking to get the bike mount also so when the weather shapes up I can take it out on my road+mountain bike.

I a am very happy with the phone. The notification sound, is louder, then the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. The battery life is, great. I got over 6 hours, on screen time, with two Sim cards. Sideways, it is good for typing one letter at a time. And, in portrait mode SwiftKey works, well. I have tried, older phones like the Samsung S3 mini, S4 Mini, and others, but they can’t keep the long battery life, of the newer operating systems. Perfect, would be, the phone being the same size, just with a larger screen. This telephone is much nicer then the previous model, the Jelly Pro.Thank you, and don’t ruin this phone like the what happened to the YotaPhone company, when they sold-out. (e-ink telephone that displayed everything on version 2, but note, to the e-ink screen on version 3.)

I backed the Unihertz Atom on Kickstarter about 6 months ago, and I’ve been using as my main phone for the past 2 months. It has its pros and cons, but I love it. If you want a ridiculously small phone but still need it to run full Android, you’ll love the Atom too.Before I dive in to all the nitty-gritty of using this device on the daily, I’ll just say this: everyone who sees this phone for the first time really loves it. It’s absolutely hilarious, and quite the attention magnet.**Hardware**The first thing you’ll notice about Atom is its size. You’ll probably laugh when you take it out of the box—it’s that tiny. If you want to be on social media all day, need to type up emails, or want a nice screen for watching movies, stop now, because Atom’s diminutive form is not for you. However, if you want a rugged phone for the outdoors, a very very compact phone, or a phone to help you not use social media so much, this tiny one fills that niche perfectly.If you decide the tiny, low-resolution, slightly washed-out screen is for you—like I did, for a less distracting smartphone—the rest of the hardware has a lot to like. The Atom feels very well-built, and it’s IP68 water resistant, shockproof, and has Gorilla Glass 3. Couple that with how well it fits in the hand and I’m not at all worried about breaking it!It also has all the hardware features I want, and more. USB-C port, fingerprint sensor, NFC, GPS, and the all-too-rare bonuses of a headphone jack, FM radio, and customizable shortcut button. The only hardware drawbacks for me: pretty poor rear-facing speaker and cameras (more on those in a moment).You might also consider the 432 x 240 screen resolution a drawback. I don’t, because it not being eye candy only makes me use my phone less!**Performance**Unlike its lower-end predecessor Jelly, the Atom can compete with normal-size midrange phones in terms of performance just fine. It has a Helio P23 (midrange Mediatek processor) with 64GB storage/4GB RAM and stutters/lag are few and far between. Even coming from a Pixel 2, I have no complaints performance-wise. It’s actually kind of snappy!**Software**It runs almost perfectly stock Android Oreo, which is very welcome. The only additions are a handful of added apps (Toolbox with functions like compass, sound meter, and bubble level; TrackBack to plot GPS like for runs/drives; Zello for a walkie-talkie app with the shortcut button as a PTT button; a call recorder function in the Phone app), a couple extra settings (things like switch the Back and Recents button, change the shortcut button action, and enable/disable/customize the Power save manager), and a couple extra features (Face Unlock, Flip to Mute, and another battery saving mode). Other than that, it’s completely stock!It recently got its second software update, bringing a speedometer to the Toolbox, some camera and audio performance tweaks, and improved cellular performance. However, the security patch level remains May 2018. Unihertz did promise to update that soon—and the Jelly got several security patch level updates—so I’ll hold out a little hope.**Battery**It has a 2000 mAH battery, which was able to last all day for me (even with my Wear OS watch always connected!), probably because the small low-res screen means I’ve only averaged an hour per day of screen-on time (coming from ~4 hrs/day on my Pixel). I usually end a long day with about 20% battery to spare. It recharges decently fast—in just over an hour from around 20% for me with the included charger. As long as you’re not a very heavy user the battery shouldn’t be an issue.**Cameras**In good light, pictures are usable at best, but at least the camera is fast. In very specific lighting situations, I’ve actually been able to get some good shots. However, in general, especially in medium/low light, it’s a terrible camera. Some representative photos are attached to this review.Mostly, it’s great to have for scanning a QR code or document here or there. Anytime I need a good shot, I’ll need to bring along a better camera.**Real life/cellular**I’m in the US and it’s been working great on T-Mobile, including 4G LTE, VoLTE, VoWiFi, and Visual Voicemail. Calls work fine—callers say I sound crisp and I can hear them fine. Texting works, assuming you can type. Google Pay works great. It runs all the apps I need, from 1Password to Spotify to that terrible email client we have to use at school. Even my Wear OS smartwatch and bluetooth headphones paired to Atom work reliably!One important thing to know: it is _very_ hard to type. I can manage to send a quick text or two using Gboard’s swipe-to-type feature, but even that becomes a pain after a while. Pecking at the tiny screen with my fingers is even worse, as it just comes down to hoping that Gboard’s autocorrect feature will understand what I mean. For the most part, it works, because of Google’s smarts, but I wouldn’t call the experience pleasant.**Sound**The headphone jack and FM radio are big pluses for me, and Spotify and Pandora work just fine. My bluetooth headphones are great too. However, Atom’s single, rear-firing speaker is not great. It’s not terrible (I mean, it works) but it sounds increasingly tinny as I raise the volume.**Conclusion**This phone absolutely delights me, especially since I got it for a little less than the starting $260 on Kickstarter. The screen is perfectly small and already helping me not get ever lose myself in my phone. It just works and does everything I need in my phone. It’s definitely for a niche audience, and it includes me—I haven’t needed to use my Pixel once since I got the Atom set up.Seriously, this thing is perfect for me. It might be for you too, if you’re set on a really tiny, rugged phone to eliminate distractions or handle the toughest of environments.

First and foremost, anyone considering this phone must be a fan of small form factor phones. It is very small. The pictures on the manufacturers website and Amazon make it look larger than it is. I highly recommend going onto the manufacturer’s website, noting the dimensions, then getting a metric ruler and drawing it’s size on a piece of paper.Personally, I am a fan of small form factor phones. For years I used a first generation iPhone SE, but still considered that phone to be marginally too big. When my company issued me a Galaxy S10 for work related calls I found myself carrying around my SE as well as the S10. So now I was carrying around 2 phones, and honestly, the S10 felt like I was carrying a full-sized tablet in my pocket. I needed a small form factor phone that was rugged, affordable, and dual SIM. I found exactly that in the Unihertz Atom. I utilize both SIM positions, so I have my personal calls and work calls with 2 different numbers coming to one phone that is literally half the size of the Galaxy S10. I love this phone.Warnings: If you have large fingers, poor dexterity, or bad eyesight, forget about it.All that being said, if you’re looking for a small form factor phone that is tough and has great features, this may be your baby. If you’re a slave to social media and stare at your phone all day then you may want to go with something larger.

For over two decades, my career has focused on cutting edge mobile hardware and software.So I’m as critical as they come when it comes to mobile phones.The Atom isn’t a novelty.It’s an outstanding phone.It’s rugged design it’s on par with some of the best in the market.It packs some fantastic specs too, that make it truly powerful.The screen is much better than you might expect from a phone this size.And it is a great world phone if you talk much.My only issue with the phone is all the bloatware that you cannot easily remove.Mostly Google stock stuff but also other things that are unnecessary like zello.While it is unlocked, it’s not fully opened and there is no rooting for it yet.But that’s something that most people won’t really care about.Because end of the day it is a great phone!Unihertz a while back made a very decent phone called the Jelly which was very popular.The Atom is greatly more advanced and vastly more powerful.I considered the Jelly more of a novelty, but the Atom for many can actually become your day to day phone.It’s not really for surfing the web but it can do that and really well.But if you focus on the idea of voice, this phone becomes super useful.I’m not simply talking about phone calls.I’m talking about voice recognition.Google and others have really stepped up on voice and when you hook up a decent Bluetooth headset to the Atom, you end up with a perfect tool for when you’re working out doors like cycling.Easily accessing GPS, your training app, ask to read your emails, play songs on Spotify and so much more.This isn’t your business phone.This is your everything but business phone.With the SIM tool it comes with, I easily switch between my iPhone XS Max to my Atom and vice versa.Takes five seconds to do and I prefer the Atom when I’m out I’m nature or cycling or traveling.Especially considering my $1400 iPhone is just not built for my adventures.Do if you want a truly great adventure phone, get the Atom.
