The 5-inch format seems interesting, curious to see what other people think
I’d be interested to know their long term support in general, myself - have Jelly phones gotten OS updates in the past, or at least security updates? Looks like there aren’t any Lineage builds for their phones, which is unfortunate.
Either way, this looks like a big leap in power and aesthetics for them, and I’m intrigued! Ticks most boxes for me, albeit lacking a headphone jack. Happy to see they’ve hit their funding goal!
No OS updates, unless promised at release. Some security updates, though. They’re GPL violators, and don’t release kernel sources, which makes 3rd party OS images harder.
Devices are generally easily repairable,they sell spares, and their support also sends you parts during warranty period if you ask - I just received a new battery for my titan slim.
This is all helpful, thank you!
Unihertz in particular? No.
Kickstarter in general? If you’re lucky, you’ll get whatever you paid for about 3 years after the original promised date.
Wow, the specs are not half bad. 12GB RAM with 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage which is also expandable alongside a decent Dimensity 7300 decent 100MP + 8MP 3.4x telephoto, with a half decent 4000mah 66w fast wired charging running android 14.
I expected another underpowered hardware like most small phones before. All this for $259 cannot complain. If I was for a small phones in the market, I would definitely consider this.
The pocket comparison is the money shot in that video. So satisfying, particularly as I use a flip phone with a smaller pocket profile so I know exactly how good that reduction in size feels on a daily basis.
Would’ve backed but for the lack of 3.5mm jack. I get the even greater fight for space in a phone this small plus the prevalence of TWS/Bluetooth headphones but it’s something that I personally won’t compromise on
I can recommend watching this guy’s video on the Jelly Max. He did a review on my Jelly Star and was relatively honest about the pros and cons, so at least I personally trust him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTFPq78JwF0
Thanks!
