Editorial report

Unihertz Jelly Star technical sheet

The Unihertz Jelly Star is for anyone looking for an unusually small, light phone; the trade-off is a 3-inch display and a 2000 mAh battery. It weighs 116 g and measures 49.6 mm wide and 95.1 mm tall, making its compact dimensions the defining feature of its design.

Its IPS LCD display has a 480 × 854 px resolution, 327 ppi pixel density, and a 60 Hz refresh rate. That refresh rate is among the weakest of its time, while its 18.7 mm thickness is among the greatest. The 2000 mAh battery and 10 W charging are also among the weakest of their time. Overall, the Jelly Star is among the weakest phones of its time, although its camera is typical: its 48 MP resolution is lower than that of most phones of its time, while the f/1.75 aperture is brighter than most.

The MediaTek Helio G99, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of storage add up to typical performance. Connectivity is worse than most phones of its time; the phone has dual Nano-SIM, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. With a NeoScore of 3.4, it is best suited to buyers who prioritize a small, light phone over a larger display, a bigger battery, or a thinner body.
