Jelly Star Mini Smartphone 3 Inch Smallest Tiny 4G Cell Phone Android 13 Transparent Design LED Light NFC OTG 8GB RAM 256GB ROM (Black) Compatible with T-Mobile and Verizon only

I was looking for a small phone to replace my Jelly Pro/Palm. This phone resolves all the issues with thes older phones in regards to performance. Phone is very responsive and has minimum/no lag for my general use. The screen is clear and usable, though viewing take a slight hit when at more extreme angles. With Android 13 loaded, it allows me to use Android auto (Android 8 and the Jelly Pro/Palm doesn't support this ability). Unihertz has published that the phone will get Android 16 in April, 2026, bringing the OS up-to-date. Touch screen works better than either of the older phones and I have had no issues typing. Battery is much better than the prior phones, lasting about slightly less than my Pixel 9a. Charging is very quick given the small battery size the max charging speed of the phone. The phone is thicker than the other phones, but overall thickness actually makes the phone easier to handle. The phone works fine with T-Mobile.CONSThe buttons are not placed well for me as a right-hander. It is awkward to reach the volume buttons. Also, the fingerprint reader is badly placed for such a small phone. I have to awkwardly squinch my finger to reach it. Additionally, it doesn't always read correctly. I do believe the camera is slightly better, but not close to a normal sized phone. It will work in a pinch, but wouldn't use it on vacation for memories I wanted to keep. The phone is missing the ability to support an eSim. The phone is larger and heavier than the older 2 phones, but this allows for the larger battery/longer run times. Also, the case it difficult to take off the first time to put in your SIM because of the shape of the phone.This is a great 2nd phone for use around your normal area of business or when exercising. If you take one phone when you travel, I would get a more flexible standard phone that supports eSim and has a camera that takes high quality pictures/video.

This is a life-changing device. Thank you, Unihertz for making it. It's really helpful if you have small hands and are tired of (physically and mentally) using a large phone. I have a behemoth in the form of S24 Ultra. I juts got so frustrated one day about its size and ordered this device.It's working great with my Mint Mobile; which uses T-Mobile's network. Apparently, AT&T doesn't work on this; so, watch out for that one.The size is perfect for reaching the top corners of the screen. Personally, I am able to type precisely. Google Keyboard's swiping function, as on other devices, helps greatly here too. It's a pleasure to hold a device of this size in my hands while making calls once again; takes me back to my dumb phone era days. It's perfect for not doom scrolling.The programmable button is great to save time. You can set it to any app you want. It offers three shortcuts with that button: a short click, a long press, and a double click. My short click opens up calculator; the long press activates flashlight (and turns it off); the double click opens up a third party timer app. I'm impressed by all the other features that device is able to house-- like, decibel level measuring app, a bubble level app, of course the IR blaster, a native compass app, etc.It's a thoughtful phone that works like a tool, rather than like a landmine of distraction and doom scrolling.It also works great with my Airpods.The fingerprint reader on my unit requires a precise placement of my finger. It's not too forgiving.

This is a great phone, but it's not for everyone.**The Good*** Even though this is a 4G-only phone, it's more than sufficient on T-Mobile's network.* It's so compact and lightweight that you can carry it in your pocket and barely notice it's there.* A great conversation starter due to its unique size.* Fast and capable of handling almost everything a regular smartphone can do, including NFC payments.* Includes a hotspot feature that works very well.* The cameras are tiny, but they do a surprisingly good job.* Full access to the Google Play Store.* Excellent choice for anyone looking for a minimalist phone without sacrificing essential functionality.* Includes a headphone jack.**The Bad*** Older users may struggle with the small size. Reading text and typing can be challenging.* It does not receive the latest Android updates. While it runs Android 13, newer versions are not available.* Security may not be as strong as on devices that receive the latest Android updates and security patches.* Watching videos is possible, but if you have poor eyesight, the small screen can be difficult to use comfortably.**Final Thoughts**For me, this phone is perfect. It delivers excellent value for the money and even exceeds expectations in some areas.As a secondary phone, I think it's fantastic. However, if you're considering replacing a flagship device like a Samsung Galaxy S25 with this phone, you may find it limiting. This is a simple, compact device designed for people who prioritize portability and minimalism over cutting-edge features.For its size and price, though, it's hard to beat.

This phone is perfect, but only for it's use case (those who spend too much time on their phones and want to cut back).This phone is small. REALLY SMALL. I knew that going into it, and I was still surprised at just how dang small this thing is!The build quality is fantastic for this price. Also, IT COMES WITH A FREAKING HEADPHONE JACK! And a micro SD card slot! The value is honestly incredible here.Typing is very difficult on this screen, but thankfully you can use swipe to text, which is what I'm using to make this review!It runs full android as well, so you still have access to important apps like maps, internet, signal, etc. The battery life is good as well, as long as you're not on it all day.Also, this phone is definitely fast enough to browse the internet, watch videos, or run a few games (not that you'd really want to run like Call or Duty or something on this screen).I would HIGHLY recommend getting this phone if you are trying to use your current phone less, and are willing to sacrifice a TON of screen space. It will DEFINITELY make you not want to use it all day. (My screen time has been cut in half since switching.)Also, I use T-Mobile, and it works great.

This phone is tiny. It runs all the apps that I wanted it to it works great with my meta glasses. The battery is small but the screen doesn't eat up a lot of the juice so it seems to last just fine. I like this phone so much I bought two of them.

I bought this phone 2 months ago and within a week the screen stopped working. It stopped responding to any touch. I sent it back to Amazon in its original physical condition in its original packaging and ordered a second one. The second one has battery issues where it randomly starts heating up and dies within a couple of hours. Just found out amazon denied my return because they said the phone was damaged. It was not. I love the idea of the phone but the execution is poor and because there's no reliable way to get replacements I definitely would not recommend risking it.

For the price, this little device offers no compromises aside from the obvious. It's quick, offers a full day of battery life, and has a feature set to rival much more expensive competition. The screen despite it's size is fully usable for my every day tasks. Texting, web browsing, reading comics, etc are all viable if you have the eyes for it. The build quality is great. This reminds me of an old Nokia in the hand. I've also had no signal problems in rural Appalachia.And yes, it *does* work on Verizon, but you'll need another phone to activate the sim with before transferring it over.

I love the form factor of this phone. Perfect for those trying to decrease time spent online. Battery life is very good considering how small the phone is. I could often go 2 days without charging. Most apps work well, would occasionally have to turn the screen landscape to use some apps.My one complaint. The water resistance was not great in my experience. I took it on a run, and some sweat migrated between the screen and plastic case, and it was toast. (Pictured)I understand obviously phones can’t get wet, but when I tell you it was minimal.I truly loved this device…….if they would be willing to fix mine or send me another I would be ecstatic.If a version with better water resistance is released I will be buying.
