I don’t know if you have found it. In the mainstream smartphone market now, the appearance of mobile phones is basically what is popular, and what everyone does. In the past, the 16:9 screen and the round buttons on the waist were popular, and then everyone was doing it. Later, the full screen became popular. After opening, the mobile phone screen has basically stabilized from Liu Haiping to the current hole-digging screen, and the screen is getting bigger and bigger.
However, it is worth mentioning that in addition to the larger screen, the current mobile phones are improving and upgrading such as memory and cameras.
However, very few manufacturers are serious about making mini phones now. I like mini phones very much, and I have been paying attention to this so-called “niche market”. I found that in addition to copycat manufacturers, some of the configurations of mini phones in the market are very special. Apart from poor small mobile phones, it is difficult to find a brand mobile phone with mainstream configuration, sufficient memory and strong performance.
Finally, I found the Unihertz Jelly mobile phone. When I found it, the second generation product had already been released. It was the Unihertz Jelly 2 mobile phone I bought a while ago. I have been playing with it for nearly a month. Let’s talk about whether this “non-mainstream” mini phone is good or not, and what needs it can meet.
To be honest, when I got it for the first time, I was used to using a large-screen mobile phone, and then using such a mini phone with a 3-inch screen was really uncomfortable.
However, after getting familiar with it, you will find that although the screen is actually small, the feeling of being in your pocket and the small and portable experience make me have the illusion of dreaming of “Nokia”. Really, this little touch, in my opinion, this is the phone.
As for the configuration, the 3-inch mobile phone, Unihertz Jelly 2 is equipped with a MediaTek P60 processor, 6GB of storage, 128GB of memory (UFS2.1) as standard, a battery capacity of 2000mAh, and a price of more than 1400.
To be honest, this configuration is very mainstream. The key is that the mobile phone is so small. I was surprised by this configuration. The first time I got it, I ran a score. The AnTuTu score can reach more than 200,000, and the performance level is also the current mainstream thousand yuan machine level.
Let’s talk about the appearance, the appearance design of Unihertz Jelly 2 is completely different from our traditional mobile phone aesthetics. It has a round body, and the body is not thin at all. Unihertz only designed a 3-inch screen for it.
If you still have an impression, the classic iPhone4 has a 3.5-inch screen, but this screen is small.
But it still has very good color and detail performance. The screen resolution is 480*854, and the pixel density reaches 326 PPI, which is already delicate enough to watch a movie or play a game every day. Shang Zhai small screen mobile phone can not compare.
But to be honest, if I were asked to use this phone as my main phone, I would also refuse! I think the positioning of Jelly 2 should be more like a backup machine, or a student machine.
Why do you say that? Although this mobile phone is small, it is equipped with many practical functions, such as NFC, infrared function, and physical fingerprint recognition module. Many of these functions may not be fully equipped in mainstream flagship mobile phones.
However, for many users, such as the infrared function, it is indeed occasionally used in life, such as going to a restaurant to turn on an air conditioner, unable to find a remote control at home, and turning on the TV. These operations are very necessary, even if the hands The mainstream mobile phone does not support infrared, you can take out the spare Jelly 2 to operate.
In addition to the infrared function, Jelly 2 is equipped with NFC function, which can easily help us to swipe the card when we go out to take the bus, and simulate the access card to enter the community when entering the community. The size of the fuselage is so small that it can be carried in your pocket without taking up any space. This is what a backup machine should look like.
The physical fingerprint recognition module is actually much easier to use than the fingerprint under the screen. Unfortunately, the mainstream mobile phones have eliminated the physical fingerprint module for the sake of full screen. Jelly 2 supports physical fingerprint recognition. It is used in offline payment scenarios. The recognition rate is much higher than that of screen fingerprints, which is very convenient.
Infrared, NFC, and physical fingerprint recognition modules are the most useful and practical functions of this mobile phone. Strictly speaking, mainstream flagship mobile phones cannot compare with these functions.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that on the right side of the fuselage, in addition to the power button, the Unihertz Jelly 2 is also equipped with a red button, officially named the Zhiling button.
This button is very interesting. You can set it as an intercom button through custom settings, or you can customize various operations by short press, long press, double click, etc. One-click payment, etc., Zhiling key personally thinks it is a very convenient and easy-to-use design.
Open the card tray of Unihertz Jelly 2, the result is also very gratifying. It supports dual cards, and can also support the choice of single card + memory card. It is an extremely “advanced” design. You must know that most mainstream mobile phones have been cancelled now. Memory cards are supported.
As we all know, under the confrontation with capital, mainstream mobile phones have completely killed the matter of expanding memory. After all, choosing a phone with more memory will be more expensive.
Also, seeing this, many people may be very interested in the system control experience of this phone, will it be stuck?
Small screen, open the mobile application, the display effect is good? I said it once. First of all, whether the system will be stuck or not will depend on the configuration of the mobile phone, and it has a lot to do with the optimization of the mobile phone system.
Jelly 2 is equipped with MediaTek P60 processor, a combination of 6GB+128GB. This configuration was actually the mainstream configuration of flagship phones back then. Putting this configuration on this phone, it is still very good.
I have noticed that some gaming tablets on the market that focus on gaming functions also use this processor. In terms of configuration, it is completely sufficient for daily use.
At the system level, Jelly 2 has also made a lot of optimizations. For example, in terms of the desktop menu layout, in order to better adapt to the small screen of 3 inches, the layout of the icons is 3*3, which will make the overall look more comfortable, and although the bottom of the phone There are three physical Android touch buttons.
However, in order to adapt to the full-screen gestures, we can still use full-screen gestures to operate the phone. And open the built-in toolbox of the mobile phone, there are many practical functions, such as noise test, compass, spirit level, height measurement, magnifying glass, USB camera, protractor, stopwatch and so on.
And this phone also supports the radio function, with a 3.5mm headphone jack, it is a very versatile and qualified backup phone. Now it can be said that most flagship phones do not have a 3.5mm headphone jack and a radio function.
Regarding the use of Jelly 2 to play games, the actual measurement shows that when playing the King of Glory, the highest frame rate can be turned on, and it can run very smoothly. The experience is good, but the screen is a bit small. To be honest, the operating experience is not as good as that of a large-screen mobile phone.
And games like Genshin Impact, which are very configuration-intensive, can be played with low-quality graphics, but it is not recommended. I personally think that Jelly 2 is more suitable for use as a backup machine. If you play games, you can leave it to the main machine.
In general, after experiencing it for almost a month, I am still very satisfied with the performance of Unihertz Jelly 2. It is more suitable for use as a backup machine.
Some very practical configurations, such as infrared and NFC, are not even equipped with mainstream mobile phones, which completely eliminates some of the defects of the main phone. Like the physical fingerprint module, in the offline payment scenario, it is far more useful than the screen fingerprint unlocking.
In addition, the configuration of Jelly 2 is actually quite sufficient. Just looking at the configuration, MediaTek P60 processor, 6GB+128GB memory combination, I don’t think there is anything special, but on this mobile phone with only a 3-inch screen size, it is I think this configuration can be said to be very luxurious.
There is only a bank card-sized mobile phone, which is not in the way of carrying it in your pocket. In addition to the price of 1400, I think this is what a spare mobile phone should look like. Take up space, that’s enough!
