Unihertz Jelly 2E, New Choice for a Mini Phone Android 12 4G Unlocked Smartphone Silver (Support T-Mobile & Verizon only)

After dealing with phones getting bigger and bigger all the time I had to take a chance on this little guy. It has exceeded my hopes for a phone that does the basics stuff well. Call quality is very good, it runs well for everything I need it for. If you have young eyes and 20/20 vision the small screen might be OK. It is not a gamer or video viewer though it does function well but the size will limit your usage. Texting is a challenge but I haven't touch texted in a while with Google assistant as good as it is so that function is usable. Works great with Android Auto, Google Messages for Web. Camera is OK but for $150 it will do the trick as I don't use my phone for much photo shooting but it does work. I leave the artsy photo stuff to my wife! Battery is OK as I get to 40-50% by end of day so not problem getting a whole day. But because of the size I don't spend much time YouTubing or other video stuff. A little chunky but all those innards have to go somewhere. Highly recommend if you are looking for a phone that you can carry any where and not have it pull down your pants!!

Good little phone however we could not get any text messages. We could send them but not receive them.

I was a bit afraid the small size will make the phone unusable, but for me it is perfect. The screen is small, yet all applications I need (weather forecast, maps, timetables, Garmin Connect, Duolingo, GMail) fit - the screenspace is limited, but I did not find an application yet which would not fit in or would be non-functional. The performance of the phone is also good enough for those applications - it does not feel slow or sluggish.As expected, typing on the keyboard on the small display is sometimes a bit difficult, yet it is possible. If you are like me and spend a lot of time at the computer, for messages you may prefer to connect the phone to the PC via WiFi, which is easy to do using Windows Phone Link.Calling from the phone seems comfortable and voice quality acceptable. I did not take any real pictures with the camera yet, therefore I cannot review that.Battery life seems to be 2-3 days with a moderate use.

I am 72 yrs old and detest having to carry a cell phone. I wouldn't even carry it but for the fact the wife is an invalid and needs to have a means of contact when I am out. The smart phones I have had always seemed to get in the way of everything and there never seems to be a convenient place to put them. Tried to use a flip phone but couldn't do the keypad typing for text messages. This little smart phone fits nearly anywhere and does not interfere with anything. Forget I am carrying most of the time. Being a smartphone I use my voice for typing text messages and phone calls. The sound volume could be a little louder but is suffcient for my needs. It even connects to the garmin navigator on my motorcycle. In my opinion, it is a solid, quality device. When it arrived, I just popped in my Tmobile simm and I was good to go.

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.

This is a good phone. I'm using it as my primary cell for personal and work. Everything works as well as I'd hope with any phone and I'm pleased with that. Good speed, camera, talk/text, the hotkey for the flashlight is awesome, etc. The features for the size of the phone are unbelievable, and I've enjoyed my user experience. BUT...this phone is ZERO percent waterproof. To be fair, they don't claim it is, but still. Should you get a drop of water in the wrong place, much less any more than that anywhere near the phone, it's time for curtains. I recently had a small accident with the phone with some water spilling on it, and thankfully, after 2 days of drying, have it functioning acceptably again, but not as good as it was prior. It's basically a sieve with water just funneling and flowing into the device anytime water gets near it. Be warned, should you want to do any outdoor activities, cook in the kitchen, take it into the bathroom, even put it at the kitchen table near a beverage, BE CAREFUL, because water damage is explicitly not covered in their warranty. Overall, I like the phone, but wouldn't buy it again knowing this.

I hate the big phones being sold today. They are like carrying a brick around with you. I love this little phone. The phone does everything I want it to do, it is well made, and I don't have to walk around with a big bulging brick in my pocket. You would think that texting would be a little difficult but once I got used to it there was no problem. Thanks Unihertz for bringing back sanity to cell phones.

I have the Jelly Pro and that's a great tiny phone with an okay 8MP camera. The new Jelly 2E has a 16MP camera but the image quality is worse -- grainy artifacts in the sky, poor resolution. No direct access to camera from the lock screen. The 2E *does* work on AT&T MVNO's, such as Red Pocket. I did not test with an AT&T SIM card.
