Unihertz Jelly 2E – High-End Pocket-Sized Budget Smartphone w/ Android 12

Nowadays, most new smartphone models that are released tend to come at slightly larger and bulkier sizes than their predecessors. This is essentially because better components such as Display Screens with higher definition or even Lithium-Ion batteries that have a higher battery-capacity all tend to be slightly bigger than the past components that they’re supposed to replace in order to make newer smartphone models better than previous ones. The main problem that comes with these better, but ever-growing components is that newer smartphones unavoidably tend to increase in size with each new upcoming generation. Still, not every person is a fan of big and bulky smartphones, as some people don’t require a smartphone equipped with a high-end triple camera lens or the latest high-capacity battery so that they can use their phone for an entire day. Some people simply want a smartphone that’s capable of performing the same In-App functionalities from the latest Apps released to date. That’s exactly what the Unihertz Jelly 2E aims to deliver.

The Unihertz Jelly 2E is a high-end pocket-sized budget smartphone that features a 3-inch Display Screen with a 480 by 854 pixels resolution, a 16MP AF Rear Camera and a 8MP FF Selfie Camera, 64GB of Storage which can be expanded to 512GB via a Micro SD card and 4GB RAM, Android 12 as its Operative System, a Dual Card Slot that supports Dual Nano SIM cards, a Fingerprint Sensor, Facial Recognition, a Programmable Key for creating App shortcuts, an infrared port that allows the phone to control your TV and other electronics, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, as well as Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi, and GPS Connectivity, and also unlocked Global 4G LTE Connectivity, plus a 2000 mAh battery that allows for basic daily use in one full charge.

Designed specifically to satisfy all daily needs from a typical smartphone user, this high-end pocket-sized budget smartphone is guaranteed to deliver pretty much all the same functionalities that a newly released flagship smartphone from competing brands would, but at a mere fraction of their usual cost.

Now, let’s have a more detailed look at the Unihertz Jelly 2E and talk a little more about everything that this pocket-sized smartphone has to offer you.

DESIGN & SPECS

Starting with the phone’s size, the Unihertz Jelly 2E features a palm-sized form factor, measuring just 3.74 inches long by 1.94 inches wide by 0.64 inches thick (95 x 49.4 x 16.5 mm), and the phone is also incredibly lightweight, weighing just a measly 3.88 oz. Its ultra-portable form-factor allows it to easily fit in just about any pants’ or shirt’s pocket.

More specifically, this mini-smartphone comes in a sleek Silver color, which essentially gives it a very minimalist look. Moreover, the phone also features a fairly durable construction, as it comes equipped with a sturdy outer shell.

Moving on to the smartphone’s different components. Starting with the phone’s display screen, the Unihertz Jelly 2E comes equipped with a 3-inch Display Screen that’s approximately the same size as a credit card, for which it comes protected by a high-grade glass front-cover built from Corning Gorilla Glass.

Then, on the phone’s left-side, we have its dedicated Volume Button-Switch.

Not only that, but the phone also boasts a built-in Fingerprint Sensor, as well as Facial Recognition.
