Review: Fantastic phone, small but very usable. Love it! - 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.
Review: Exactly what I need, when I need it! - For health reasons, I avoid wireless exposure as much as possible and as a result keep my phone on airplane mode most of the time. At home, I plug it into an Ethernet cord + adapter for downloading audio books, podcasts and music (without using wireless). In the past I have had a pay-as-you go plan from TMobile for $30/month. But for how much data I use (typically 1G or less per month), $30 seemed too much to spend. For the most recent couple years I used a 7" tablet plan (with 1G of data/month) from verizon $8.mo, instead of a phone. I could not get a "tablet plan" with a regular cell phone - Verizon won't do it - and it became annoying to have to use a tablet on the go because the size forced me to carry a lager bag than I wanted. When my tablet broke it was time to find another solution! In comes TELLO + the Unihertz JELLY2!!! This wonderful little phone + a plan of my choosing with Tello has been a perfect solution for me. I wish I had found Tello earlier. My Tello sim is using tmobile towers which have worked every time I need to pull up a map or send a text (I live in the country in NH). I pay for 1G of data and $100 minutes for $6 per month! It is exactly what I need, no more no less. If I ever need more data I can buy another Gig for $5. My usage is pulling up an occasional Map (then turning Airplay mode back on & keeping on location to navigate), texting via Telegram & Google voice, browsing/searching, or a very brief phone call. This little phone works great. The flashlight is helpful. The camera quality is very good. Battery life is great. Swipe text works great. Android apps I use such as Audible, Napster, google maps, Telegram, Google Voice, Protonmail work great. It fits in a pocket and allows me to wear my small purse again that larger phones won't fit in! It is the kind of phone that works for what you need, but also minimizes the addictive effects of larger phones simply by being just a bit too small to escape into. This is great for those who are choosing to back away from cell phone use/addiction. IMO, streaming should be done through a wired connection, at home, with a projector or at least a computer screen... treated more like movie night. At home you can stream without toxic wireless exposure (from WiFi, Bluetooth and 4G/5G) by using an Ethernet connection and a $9 USB C to Ethernet Adapter adapter. In short, this phone will help you emancipate yourself from cell phone slavery and put the cell phone back in its proper place as a tool and nothing more. Enjoy life, slow down, be present for your in person relationships, learn skills, dance, sing, create beauty; invest in your life. Don't allow the cell phone to steal your life from you. Recognize that social media is anti-social and prevents you from investing in your real life. This cute little tool will help you demote your phone back to being just that, a tool. It is a great price AND, you will very quickly save money if you get rid of your costly monthly "unlimited" plan and replace it with paying for only what you need with Tello. I highly recommend this phone! For me, it's perfect!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ typing is almost impossible but would be 5 stars with active stylus
*by M***R on February 8, 2023*

I've had it for a few days and spent several hours trying to make it usable as my sole daily phone. Everybody has different uses and lifestyles, so it's good to have options in the market for phones, which are pocket computers and the subset of computers they fit into is tablets, just a touchscreen interface. So a phone is just the small size range of tablets. They are general purpose computers that could be used for endless purposes in endless styles. For my own personal purposes, I prefer to use a laptop/tablet as much as possible and I have very little use for voice calls or texting on a phone. I avoid voice calls as much as possible and I found some good options to handle SMS/texting on my laptop/tablet instead of my phone--the best one seems to be Google Messages, but I've also had good results with Pushbullet and there are others. So here's what I want a phone to do primarily: --camera, taking photos/videos, mostly for practical documentation, not to win NatGeo contests --voice recording for voice memos --voice input for typing --timers, alarms, stopwatch, clock --music/audio playback, battery info for earbuds And here's what I don't need a phone to do usually, maybe once in a while at most: --phone calls --texting, emailing, messaging in general, text input in general --video playback or editing --web browsing --social media So basically I'm in an extreme minority of people who don't want to use phones the way they're commonly used, but I don't want a dumbphone and I'm not trying to reduce my phone usage; I'm trying to actually increase my phone usage by making a phone a more useful tool based on its portability and convenience. Amazingly, people are still buying tiny clip-on mp3 players these days, which are a huge advantage over phones for audio playback while exercising. Before I started using smartphones about 6 years ago, I was an avid user of Sansa Clip. But it really doesn't make any sense to have a single-purpose device like that with huge compromises on screens, firmware, software, etc. It makes way more sense to have a regular smartphone that's shrunk into the smallest usable form factor. So Jelly 2 is pretty close to that, although the Palm phone is actually much closer because it's half the size and weight of Jelly 2. I had a hard time choosing between Palm and Jelly 2. I got the Jelly 2 because of the more up-to-date software, better specs on the processor and memory, and because the customizable side button seemed like a killer feature. But I'm not happy to have a device that's twice the size and weight as it could be just for the sake of longer battery life. That doesn't make any sense, because there are lots of great tiny powerbanks available to recharge as needed. You can buy a tiny powerbank and a Palm phone and have the same battery life and convenience as a larger built-in battery, but in many usage scenarios it's a big advantage to not have that extra size and weight on the phone itself. People who complain about the Palm battery life are missing the point and maybe don't realize how many tiny powerbanks are easy and cheap to buy and easy to carry and use. Charging twice a day instead of once using a tiny powerbank that takes up hardly any space in a bag? Perfect solution instead of making the phone twice as big and heavy. So I might even switch to Palm in the future, but I'm testing the Jelly 2 for now and I love it. The elephant in the room is text input. It's almost impossible to use this phone for typing with fingers. Part of that is a software problem because all the OSKs I've found so far use screen space inefficiently. There's a bunch of "large button" and alternative keyboard apps, but so far I haven't found one that solves the software problem nicely. Part of the problem is the inherent physical limitations of the device and the user's fingers. I have very large hands. I wear XL gloves. My fingers are not fat, but they're larger than average, so that's a big variable for different people. Tiny people with thin fingers have the best life. Food costs are lower and they can use smaller phones, among so many other advantages, not to go off-topic. So typing with fingers is only a last-resort emergency operation with this phone. The other typing option is a capacitive stylus. I've found that to be dramatically better than fingers with Jelly 2, but still pretty bad. Once again, part of the problem is the software design of the OSK. There is are 2 other ways to input text though: handwriting and voice. I've tested handwriting input with a capacitive stylus on Jelly 2 using Google Keep and Nebo. Basically it was a failure. No need to go into the details. It doesn't work. It works perfectly fine on any standard large phone even with a capacitive stylus, but the combo of small screen and coarse input of capacitive stylus makes this method unusable. Nebo is a very good app in general for drawing and handwriting input. I've had good impressions using it on my Windows laptop/tablet, which has an active stylus. And it seems great on a standard large phone, but it was basically useless when I tested it on Jelly 2. So obviously the solution is an active stylus. I have always owned stylus phones, Samsung Note models and LG Stylo models. Active styluses are amazing, a total game-changer. They are incredibly precise and useful. The difference in usability between active and capacitive styluses is the difference between a sports car and a bicycle with flat tires. If Unihertz would make a Jelly model with active stylus, it would be worth any price they ask. I would happily pay double the price for that feature. It would completely transform the functionality of this phone. It would be a totally legitimate tool for text input. The same applies to Palm. If they released a model with active stylus, I would switch to that in a heartbeat. Given the niche status of phones like these, it's not likely these companies can profit from an even more niche product, but I think once people start to discover that these types of phones even exist at all, they could become very popular. I just learned that tiny phones exist last week. I literally had never heard of them before and never even thought about the topic, and I'm a gadget-loving tech-geek type person who pays attention to a lot of things in the world. I really had no idea these phones existed. I suddenly had the idea one day that a tiny phone would be better because I really just want to do... the things I listed above. So then I went on the internet to look for tiny phones and discovered a whole new world, including all the cute, hilarious, cheap "2G only" micro-phones. ACTIVE STYLUS PLEASE! But there's another huge topic, which is voice typing. I never even tried that before, but I found it works great, like shockingly great. So for example, in Google Keep I can speak and see almost immediate transcriptions that are about 95% accurate in general, and the mistakes are pretty small and easy to ignore in most usage scenarios. It's a moderately mature technology. Unfortunately I don't think the technology is mature enough to handle the full variation in dialects that exist in the world. Just English alone has dozens of dialects with significant differences in pronunciation, so the voice recognition tech probably fails for a lot of people. I'm lucky because I speak a common dialect of English, although I don't have cot-caught merger but Keep seems to, and I've noticed some other failures on vowel recognition already in my brief testing of voice typing the past few days. I'm sure I have a lot to learn about that topic, but the bottom line is that voice typing is a viable solution for text input on Jelly 2, which basically rescues this device. Without that or an active stylus, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to justify using this instead of a standard larger phone. While text input is a low priority in my usage goals, it's still moderately important. Congratulations to Unihertz for making an amazing product. The build quality is incredible. It feels like a premium device. It's beautiful and magnificent. I have high hopes for this as I find solutions on the software side--the whole experience of looking for apps and testing them is quite a nightmare and something I didn't really dabble in for my past phones. The phone did come with default built-in junk apps that can't be uninstalled, but a pretty small number and not a big deal. I found the solution is to use a third-party launcher/homescreen/icon customization app and then the icons can basically disappear. But given my usage, the inferior specs of the Palm phone are probably more than adequate and so I'm still considering trying that in the future and switching. A major issue is actually the comfort in the hand, because if it's too thin it might be harder to hold. I'm mostly holding the Jelly in between my 1st and 4th fingers (if you indexed them without the thumb). I'm posting a photo of that there. I've found that by far the most comfortable, and it doesn't block the microphone, but holding it in landscape mode has also been very comfortable and despite blocking the mic it would be better for typing if I could find suitable keyboard software. Hopefully this paradigm of tiny phones will catch on and then companies will offer more choices to suit different people with all their different preferences and hand sizes. ACTIVE STYLUS PLEASE! By the way, I'm in the USA and already had a T-Mobile account. I simply swapped the SIM into Jelly 2 and it worked right away with no issues. UPDATE: I found that the red side button meant for customization is extremely valuable. It's absolutely perfect for screenshots and for the camera. It has 3 modes: short press, long press, double press. I haven't found a use for the 3rd one yet, but for screenshots and camera, a separate "physical" button is ideal. With the camera now, I can hold it very securely with one hand and take photos with the same hand very comfortably, 100% one-handed, which is difficult, almost impossible, for me to do with a regular sized phone and the touchscreen button on the camera app. I don't know to what extent physical side buttons like power and volume can be custom programmed to take photos on typical phones, but when it's a combo press of some kind it can be pretty awkward to use. With this single side button on the middle of the side, it's simply perfect ergonomics with one hand. For screenshots, it's a big advantage to have a button that isn't on the screen, and my past experience has been bad with a screenshot button on the bottom row as a 4th dedicated touch button alongside home, back and window navigation. It was bad because I often accidentally pressed the button, which was very close to its neighbor. Not a huge deal, just lots of accidental screenshots. But the red button doesn't work unless the phone is already on, so it's not especially useful for most purposes. If you have to press the power button first, then you can do almost anything just as easily with a normal touchscreen button. If you press the red button while the phone is off, nothing happens, so it's not a pure "one button" operation, but it's still extremely valuable for screenshots and photos.
