Anyone remember 10+ years ago when the first 6 inch phones came out and were still a niche and got called phablets? Now that's pretty much the norm lol, like I have an almost 5 years old note 10 plus and it's got a 6.8 in screen, it was big back then but that's also when even budget phones started being big like that. And Idk but if feels like a weird trend that's going on in multiple places, cars for example, big chunky and tall suvs and crossovers have become really popular and their size plus that of american trucks have increased drastically in the last 20 to 15 years. And unnecessarily so, no one needs those big cars, they don't even fit that much more compared to a wagon for example, that's the definition of a family car with ample space, not an suv or a truck despite what people now would say. Like I have an acquaintance who went from a mercedes gle, a big chunking suv, to a more reasonable e class wagon and it's literally just as spatious on the inside but way better from the outside, not as tall and wide. And here's a different example from the other side of the scale spectrum, wrist watches. They have gone from 36mm +/- 2 to 4 millimeters for men, and under 30 for women, to 44 to 48mm for men, and 36 for women. Like 40mm was considered big for men 20 to 30 years ago, now it's the standard size and the advent of smartwatches just accelerated this even further, we have all those pro ultra max watches from apple or huawei, their flagships, be around 48 to 50mm big with an even bigger lug to lug distance, I've only seen samsung have more normal sized watches with their largest being 45mm, otherwise only monstrosities that don't really look good when you take into account just how thick they are. And another example moght be baggy clothing and especially big shoes with extremely thick midsoles(I had to google this term, I'm not a native english speaker and I'm not well versed in this subject, so I hope I got it right) with an outward extending heel that sometimes make those shoes, which more often than not are trainers or boots, look like they're made for making big foot footprints in the ground or something funny like that. Anyways, sorry for this giant ramble, I think all you need to know is I think overall a lot of things are getting unnecessarily big, not just smartphones.

My main issue with the Jelly 2 was the camera. The old version was 16MP and this is 48MP which is much better. I know it's not a top-tier camera, but it does solve the issue of a poor camera being kind of a deal breaker for some people. To be honest it did not bring my usage down to where I wanted it to be. I still can watch YT on it, etc. But it did make it less enjoyable. I don't notice it until I play with my old Pixel phone and think WOW this is amazing and I actually feel a dopamine rush. Which I know now to be habit-forming for me. It's been a good phone for me. They do have some software bugs, but I've only encountered them when using their App/Data blocker.

I've had it for a year. I previously had a F21 Pro and before that a Nokia. On both previous phones, I eventually went back to my iphone just because of the apps & facilities it gave me. With this one, I've consistenly had less than 1h a day on the phone and I have all the apps I need for daily use. Whenever I want to switch I know the only reason is having a bigger screen on the iPhone (which is the whole point!), so I don't! Of course I miss my iPhone but I also know that without social media I'm a happier person. I love/hate this little thing but it has everything I want from it!

As an owner of the regular Jelly 2, I will say this device did not reduce my usage that much. Yes, the screen is smaller but you absolutely get used to it and for me it did not make a significant difference. The other big issue with the jelly is that often many apps that i needed did not work (Gmail, ADP for work, i think a few others), or when apps did work they were often incompatible with the screen size and text would often truncate off the edge of the screen and would be hidden. The workaround to this was to go into developer options and adjust the pixel density, something i would often have to do multiple times a day depending on what information was cut off in apps i needed. I will say if you use this in combination with a device like unpluq it could make a difference, but at least for me just the small screen did not significantly curtail my usage habits.

TY as always JB for these thorough reviews from a digital minimalist's usecase perspective. I have been a happy user of a flip phone for almost a year now but there are significant drawbacks. None more painful to me than the poopy camera. We are going to be travelling for several months this year and I want to be able to capture memories with a pocketable device AND be able to share the photos quickly and easily with friends and family, so I think this phone may be the answer as either a companion device or a travel phone. I already have a Palm Phone as part of my EDC for photos and for when I NEED a smart device but the camera isn't great and with that microscopic battery, the battery anxiety is intense. I have just ordered the Star on Amazon so I can return it if I don't like it, hearing it's a daily driver for you was very convincing and helped me spend the money. I'll comment again once I've found out if it works for me. :) You are a great influencer and spokesman for digital minimalism! I can hardly wait for us all to find out whether or not that qwerty eink "minimal phone" is vaporware cause I so, SO want to see your take on it!

I switched from iPhone plus, to iPhone mini, and deleted socials too, and my screen time is much better but I find even just 10 min down the wrong rabbit hole in a web browser can be detrimental.. it’s just such a slippery slope I struggle with discipline it I don’t even blame myself because these apps are built to break u down like that. I don’t know if a “dumb” phone is the answer or I just need somehow to strengthen my will. Super interested in ur reviews and subscribed although I need to spend less time on KZbin lol.

I've been using a Motorola Razr V3 as my daily driver flip phone since 2018. I would use it forever if I could, but since T-Mobile is shutting down their 2G network in April of this year I've been on the lookout for a replacement minimalist phone. I really don't like "modern" 4G LTE flip phones since they have such cheap build quality and are so "clunky" compared to the sleek elegant flip phones from the mid to late 2000's. Having used a Moto Razr V3 for so long I'm basically spoiled and know that any other flip phone will feel like a significant downgrade. I'm really leaning towards the Jelly Star right now, it's such a neat device that seems like it would actually be fun to carry around. I checked the dimensions and it's almost identical to a Moto Razr V3 when closed, but a few mm thicker, so it would be comfortable in my pocket. I'm about 90% sure I'll be ordering one of these but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I see a lot of people that want to buy this because they want to reduce their screen time. I think that is the wrong approach. Phones should make your life easier, not harder. You only have one, better make the most of it. If you want to reduce screentime, try running, cycling or any kind of activity really. A small phone is much easier to carry around with you for these activities, it's easier to hide if you are worried about theft and it's also cheaper to replace in case it does get stolen or broken. Thát's what the goal should be, not punishing yourself for relaxing too much

I have used this one for a month both daily and on the trip. Here are the major disadvantages: 1. Its security is DOA - no updates since June 2003 2. There is no ANC - a person you are talking to hears everything around you 3. Screen is to small for bigger QR codes. For example, transportation apps that produce bigger QR codes will display the codes, but subway, bus, and train readers likely will not be able to read these QR Codes because they are too small on the screen. 4. Camera is OK if there is enough light for images. Video - forget it. There is hardly any image stabilization.

👋 Not JB, but I used a S22 as my only phone for about 4 months. Having Android in a frustrating form factor was a good balance between not losing necessary functionality but still discouraging doom scrolling and over usage. Unfortunately, the S22's keyboard functionality and slightly buggy software made daily usage, especially while traveling, nearly untenable. Looks like this Jelly Star would be a better transition device because it has a fresher version of Android but still in a usage-discouraging form factor.

My 16-year-old son has the Jelly 2e as his first smartphone. It's been great for him. One thing we've had trouble with is that it doesn't seem to do wifi calling (we use Mint Mobile). Does the Jelly Star support wifi calling?

Jelly 2e should support Wi-Fi calling. Check with Mint and see what they can do. I've used WiFi calling on the Jelly Star

Make sure you turn on wifi calling both in the mint app and in the phone settings. Also, make sure "hd voice" is turned on, it somehow got turned off on mine and caused weird hard-to-debug calling problems.

Hello. I'm thinking kf buying this as secondary phone. Just curious about the end-of-life / android support for this? Anyway, I plan to use it specifically for google maps so how's the GPS for outdoor and travel use (where big phones are obviously cumbersome). And can it read QR code and camera translate (Google lens?) Thank you hehe

Hey Jose! How many hours of constant use does the battery give? Ideally that wouldn't be necessary ofc, but I'd like to know how well it compares to my current Pixel 4A's specs which gives me maybe 3-5 hours of moderate use in one go...does the battery drain at all when it's not being used from notifications?
@JoseBriones
@JoseBriones Жыл бұрын
I'd say about 2-3 hours of constant use if you were stress testing something. Battery holds up with regular use for 1-2 days for sure.

What I wonder is whether it makes any sense to trust a random Chinese manufacturer with my personal data. Given they probably don't push timely security updates even, likely they don't have much regard for user privacy. That's my assumption. I would feel better if I could flash my own copy of Android on it.

This comment makes the battery looks worse than what it is it really isn't that bad for its size because it's powering a small screen I've been using it as my daily driver fine i get up at 5am in morning listen to KZbin music most of the day at work through headphones I finish work at 3pm usually will still have between 40%-55% range usually charge it up again in the evening if your gonna sit there solidly and game heavy and heavily watch videos sure it will drain so does my flagship phone but if your looking at getting jelly star don't read comments like this and think the battery terrible that was my concern before buying but I have actually been surprised so far and the battery has exceeded my expectations from what I thought it would be like
