Jelly Star vs Palm Phone - The Phablet Rebellion Bekons

[@yaxl]

Wow, you're the only reviewer mentioning Jelly Star's front notification LED. It's a criminally underrated feature for a phone to have.

[@Roos-Reviews]

Yes, why that simple, useful and cheap-to-implement feature was abandoned by almost all manufacturers is a mystery to me.

[@mechashadow]

​@@Roos-ReviewsAh I miss the days of my Blackberry, also had a removable battery and came with an extra battery and charger to boot. The charger was made with a form factor of a business card holder which was so so much better than lugging around bulky power bank these days.

[@bm1066]

My takeaway is that there are not nearly enough options in the pocket-able spy computer market and that you have to resign yourself to a sea of nearly identical gigantic, heavy, fragile, glass sandwiches. There are almost no real attempts at true innovation in the space. Even Apple discontinued the "mini" line of phones that they tried for two years and not enough people bought because they all want huge screens to lose themselves in and become hopelessly addicted to. Good video!

[@tomconnors8165]

Have had my jelly star about 4 months now and it has been a great phone, I love it. For the back lights, you can set them to blink on notification even if the phone is on mute which is a useful feature for me.

[@Roos-Reviews]

Yes, what a brilliant phone. I use the little notification LED for mine. Imagine a phone coming out these days with a headphone jack, a notification LED and even a built-in radio, when the biggest phone manufacturers in the world can't even do one of those with their $1,500 phones.

[@keifer1301]

I “upgraded” from a flip phone to the Palm several years ago. I resisted moving to a smartphone specifically because of the ridiculous size of most phones. I can confirm every issue you identified with the Palm. I think the battery life is the worst offender. I only use the phone for calls and texts, and for away-from-home activities, so I can get close to two days of battery life with the Mophie Juice Pack on good (no calls) days. And, unless someone miniaturizes an iPhone, I’ll hunt long and hard to replace the Palm when dies.

[@R.C.Bullar]

As an owner of the palm. The design is nearly flawless. The usability however, is abysmal. Jelly wins hands down.

[@Roos-Reviews]

You summed it up perfectly.

[@valhakun]

Man, I really feel your pain. Sick and tired of large phones. Driving my original SE into the ground, but some apps aren't working so well with it these days. Looking at my options on the market and it sresses me out so much... 😓

[@vitaminjuk]

Thanks for this video, good to see you're hosting the small phone club here in the comments! I have a Jelly 2, the Star wasn't enough of an upgrade, then I convinced myself I could switch to the "small" Zenfone 10 - it's enormous and it just doesn't inspire any joy in me! I'm hoping for a Jelly 3 that's a bit bigger but with smaller bezels and a bit more classy build, then it would be the best of all worlds! Or the Small Android Phone project but that looks like it's stalled :(

[@Roos-Reviews]

I have my fingers crossed for exactly the same thing. The Jelly Star is my favourite phone in years but it is too small for me. Typing is not very fun. A slightly larger, slimmer Jelly 3 would be fantastic.

I used the Palm for about 3 months as a daily. I plugged it in for about 15 minutes mid day and always got home with plenty of battery. Then I learned how to Jailbreak iphone and for the last couple of years I use the 1st gen SE. gets through the day fine. So customized it’s perfect!! I still love small phones.

[@Roos-Reviews]

What can you do differently on the jailbroken SE? I still have my SE2016, but can't bear to deal with iTunes when managing my files.

[@dustindewind3806]

@@Roos-Reviews You can do literally ANYTHING you want to. You can load ringtones, pictures , videos or files. You can completely change the look and feel included icons, gestures behaviors, keyboards, and sounds. You can restrict access of any app to anything you want. It’s endless. You can stop any process you don’t want running. You can make it YOUR PHONE and make it do whatever you want. I’m running IOS 14 still because it fits me perfectly.

[@Roos-Reviews]

Thanks for your reply. After Jailbreaking will I be able to drag and drop music files directly onto the phone through windows without having iTunes installed just as I can with my android phones?

[@dustindewind3806]

There’s a program called 3utools for Windows computers. Just this week a Mac version was released. It does require you to load iTunes on your Windows computer but you don’t have to use it. 3utools uses it to access the phone. Open the tool and click on make ringtones. You have to do them 1 by 1 but it only takes a couple of seconds. It converts the files that the phone recognizes. It’s very easy. You can load all your photos onto the computer or flash drive and video.

[@jier9904]

yessss, somehow phone size has become the 'phablet' size several years ago, and there's no one making a decently small phone anymore (maybe no one's buying?), even Palm phone here is too small, I think the 1st or 2nd phone in the comparison at the beginning are the perfect sizes, we can even get more screen real estate by removing the bezels.

[@sinzz26o7]

Anywhere between 4.5 to 5.5 inch bezelless phone would be great

[@ConsciousRobot]

If the Palm had the performance and features of the Jelly, I'd almost be tempted to ditch my S24 for it. Or at least have one as a second device. I hate the goofy Jelly design. I'm hopeful someone will make a Palm style device with flagship performance.

[@blacksmith0117]

You missed qin 3 ultra.(5.0 inch compact phone, but still big for small phone users). I'm using jelly2 now, but 3.6~ 4.0 inch is perfect size for one hand. Last year, and the year before, my wish was 4.0 inch Android phone. This year, my wish is still 4.0 inch Android phone.

I wanted the Qin, but it doesn't support enough cellular bands for my country and I heard the touch screen has problems with sensitivity.

[@legerdemain]

The battery life on the Palm had me abandoning it after only 3 months. The only way to get decent battery life is to use "Palm mode," disabling all radios. With all of the radios off, it's an all-day device. Of course, at that point, disconnected from everything, is it even a phone? I needed to be reachable, and keeping the Palm powered up and online meant such a load from charging and discharging the undersized battery that it was perpetually warm to the touch. I agree it's a beautiful object though.

[@xPLAYnOfficial]

You are going to probably LOVE the new Jelly Max device. It's a 5" near-bezel-less device and should be the perfect size of "small but not so small it's hard for apps to fit". It seems to offer pretty stellar specs for the price as well. I'm very keen to see how it goes because I know quite a few people who are also fed up with "small phones" these days really *not* being small.

[@Roos-Reviews]

No, I hate the jelly max. It has a 5.35 inch display, so it is basically an iPhone 13 mini, but heavier and twice as thick. It won't be comfortable for one-handed use. It will be even bigger when the case is on and the case will be essential as the clear plastic is brittle and cracks easily when dropped from a few feet.

I think I can do 5.3, my last phone was an s10e, wish a 5" version of it existed

They released a new one which sadly they've started to follow the current trend and called it the Jelly Max. Its massive at 5" screen and still thick. Why they thought that was a good idea, not sure.

[@will8127]

just truth. i want a palm phone badlky, but battery life is gonna be an issue. i love the jelly phones too though. some nice, small phone alternatives now a days are things like the Blackview N6000, doogee s mini, unihertz atom, stuff like that. But You cant beat how thin and small the Palm is. I can even get over the performance and maybe, just maybe ignore the battery life proiblem because it just looks that good.

[@Roos-Reviews]

I think the Palm phone is one of the most beautiful phones ever made. The build quality is stunning. I tried to live with it and managed for about a year, but it was difficult. If you're the kind of person who doesn't use your phone very much it could still work for you.

[@joshsalvation6225]

I’ve only used the Palm, haven’t tried the Jelly Star yet. What’s keeping me from forking out the money for it, is the chunky build. I like the slim “premium” design of the Palm. Also it’s the display, with a 720p high ppi, the screen looks fantastic. But the battery life has got to be its biggest problem. With life mode on, battery definitely can last, but I need to be able to receive calls and texts in case of an emergency.

[@Roos-Reviews]

I felt exactly the same. I never used life mode because what's the point in having a phone if no one can reach me in an emergency? Thanks to a recent commenter I just learned about the Rakuten Mini. It is like a slightly larger version of the Palm Phone with a bit better performance and a bit better battery life. I'm trying to get hold of one.

[@BRelding92]

I think you should have mentioned that the Palm phone is marketed as a 'companion phone'. It's not meant to satisfy all the functions of a regular smartphone but in a smaller form. All I think I really need a smartphone for nowadays is mobile banking and navigation.

[@Roos-Reviews]

In my opinion the original idea of marketing it as a companion phone is partly why it failed. They locked it to a single network, physically modified the SIM tray to remove the eject mechanism so other sims could not easily be used and charged a monthly fee for its companion use. People gave it a shot anyway and found the 95 minute 'screen on' battery life to be too challenging to live with. To shift the many unsold units they dropped the companion idea and sold them unlocked as ordinary smart phones for a third of the original price. But the poor performance and even poorer battery life make it difficult to live with. If they had made it slightly thicker to house a larger battery and not gone down the companion route it might have had a chance as a good mini phone and we might have seen a successor by now.

The only problem is, they were designed for the Japanese market only, which makes them tricky to get.

Wow, I had no idea this existed. That looks like the absolute dream. Do you have one?

[@r.e.s.e.9136]

​@@Roos-Reviews I have one but I still need to unlock it, as it's tied to Rakuten (The maker of the phone is Wiko), so the only thing I can't comment on (yet) is the phone's call/network capabilities. The UI is pretty much exactly like the Palm but the bigger screen makes it much better. Also, the processor (snapdragon 439 vs 435) and battery (1250 vs 850) are a step up. I was able to get one via ebay (US), but it took a bit of time as they don't come up that often. Amazon Japan has them as well.

Grat comparison! I have been looking for a 4/4.5/5 inch phone for years because I have small hands and thumbs, but I can't find anything good, Jelly phones are small and cheap and have fairly modern hardware but they are way too thick! Even the latest Jelly Max is way too thick! The Palm is a really good alternative to the Jelly but it has old hardware and is much more expensive. It would be nice if there was a phone with a maximum 4.5/5 inch display, that is really compact and modern and has a maximum price of €200.

While the Jelly Star is probably an uograde that I need the dang thing ( online anyway ) looks like something you might get out of a gumball machine. Childlike. Literally I hate that!!! Hopefully it will look much better in real life since my Jelly 2:does need to be replaced. Maybe I'll be able to find a protective cover for it somewhere that hides its childlike looks. SMH :-/. I DO LOVE MY JELLY 2 and will surely/hopefully love my JELLY STAR other than its looks. I need Jelly Star for a newer version of Android. Hopefully next Jelly will be waterproof along with other pluses mentioned about the Palm. Android version is definitely too old in Palm. As in, I would think, not safe/secure from hackers. Going to order my Jelly Stae now. Great video!!! Thanks.

As soon as I got my jelly star I bought a black protective case. It looks more subtle, hides the lights and adds lots of grip. It cost me about $5 from AliExpress.

[@corpsious]

the jelly star isn't waterproof either fyi. might be worth waiting to see if we get a new iteration this year

[@beerme7845]

@@Roos-Reviews which case did you buy?

[@Roos-Reviews]

If you search AliExpress for Jelly Star TPU case you'll see it. It's just a black TPU case.

You could try the Tank mini as it is waterproof, a little bit bigger and is not transparent.

What do you think about soyes xs15 ?

[@Roos-Reviews]

It's more of a toy than a usable smart phone.

[@Gilotopia]

Does it run google maps though?

[@Roos-Reviews]

Yes

[@MB-yw7up]

The jelly star wins in my opinion because of the performance

[@Roos-Reviews]

I agree.

[@Dongcrew6]

use a smartwatch instead of a small phone

[@tasslehoffburfoot3098]

rakuten mini replacement for palm phone

[@corsinivideos]

Its so disappointing that small phones have died. That palm phone was so beautiful. The unihertz phones while working ok and more modern specs are just so ugly.

[@pamelabaduya7843]

I beg to differ, the jelly star is far more comfy to hold than that cardboard thin android 8 os only phone which can numb my hands

[@pamelabaduya7843]

Still a great review tho

[@Roos-Reviews]

When did I say the star was less comfortable to hold than the Palm?

[@ssupriyanto]

Palm Phone were too old now

[@Adnardiean]

Dudeeee, then you are are still lingered to palm past. To me I dont see a point when we had to charge 3x a day for a phone

[@Roos-Reviews]

Yes, this is why I bought the jelly star. I've been hoping that the new jelly marks will be thin and made of higher quality materials. But it seems it is going to be chunky like the jelly star.
