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

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.

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 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.

I love this phone, because it's got a micro SD slot, and it charges with USB C, and runs the latest android. I'm totally blind, and I use this phone with talkback, which is the screenreader on android. It's very responsive, even with the screenreader on. My only gripe is battery life, I wish the battery life was longer, but with it's tiny size, I guess they had to cut corners somewhere, and you can get an external battery pack for cheap these days.So far, so good though.
