Owning 4 of these devices, i never got any , makes me think the same. Why even do they make these , and get away with no updates. Bad.

[@joshuauriarte452]

​@burnutec3 because their feature phones at a sense. They were never meant to be used as full-on phones. That's the same with the Titan. It's meant to be nostalgic for people who had qwerty or even small phones.

[@burnutec3]

@@joshuauriarte452 Alright, i can side with what you said, but they still are wulnerable , no matter if you use it occasionally or regularly, maybe a custom rom can have updates if someone makes one.

[@crimsonprincetr5844]

Honestly pretty decent specs. I expected it to be a lot worse for this size. They took advantage of that thickness well.

I would love a phone like this from a more reputable brand. I hate that every phone needs to be 6.5" or bigger these days, the only option you have for a small phone are 2 or 3 flagship phones and some very underpowered budget phones from less known brands.

[@DaLawnMower]

Nab a OnePlus, or a pixel A series. Maybe a Samsung Galaxy fe series? 🤔 I love my pixel 7a. Great specs. Great screen, cameras, speakers, and only 300 😍

[@00Resev]

@@DaLawnMower He's talking about wanting SMALL phones. Keyword...SMALL, and i thoroughly agree with him. The Pixel 7a is a nice phone, but has a 6.1" screen, and measures 152 x 72.9 x 9 mm, and weighs 193.5g. I have a Asus Zenfone 10, which has a 5.92" screen, and measures 146.5 x 68.1 x 9.4 mm, and weights 172g.

[@ClielTavzTv]

Hope they make a small phone with an amoled screen and a good camera.

[@Plecofish97]

Knowing what Unihertz's track record is like with OS updates, I'm probably gonna hold off on getting one of these until I can get LineageOS for it. I'll give it this though, that IR blaster looks pretty neat and that screen size is something I've sorely been missing.

[@Shanehudson27]

That also have horrible build quality. Every part is very low quality for what you pay for when our comes to unihurtz. Good luck getting that battery to last more than 2 years. I've owned this brand and I will swear on my grandmother's grave that this company seriously astroturfs their online reviews.

[@xaixn.]

my jelly star stopped working completely one day after owning it for like 3 months

[@GuillermoCaetano]

It may be thic, but i love the screen to size ratio. For some time i've been trying to ressucitate an old samsung in the same size as this phone so i can use it for music only, but it seems this phone could be a main daily driver. Again, love the size.

[@kentgeraldizo8954]

Damn, now this phone is actually something I'd buy for a daily because the previous jelly phones are too small for me personally and I'd prefer something slightly bigger. This one just takes the cake for it.

[@craggleshenanigans]

[@geggyboy1269]

I don't know. I have to say the Jelly Star is still my favorite Jelly phone, as it's the smallest, and still has great power. This new phone feels to be backtracking as I thought the whole point of Jelly is to be tiny. I'd like to see a Jelly Max the size of the Star.
