Don't think the phone screen is too big, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it when the phone is really small

Now when you talk about "small-screen phones", what do you think of?

Is it the iPhone 12/13 mini that Apple released two years ago?the Xiaomi 13/14, which is known as the small-screen flagship?or the middle cup of Samsung, Google's S series and Pixel series?

In Tony's view, these mobile phones, which are now named small screens by everyone, are actually not very small in size.

For example, if you put the iPhone 13 mini and the early iPhone 3G together, it is clear who is a "large-screen phone".

You must know that when the iPhone 3G was launched, everyone was praising its "3.5-inch large screen", and they would not think that it was a "small-screen mobile phone" at all.

This is also why, the screen of mobile phones is getting bigger and bigger, and mobile phones with small screens have become "rare things".

The fact that the size of mainstream mobile phones is getting bigger and bigger has also inspired many manufacturers to make anti-trend mobile phones.

Today, Tony is going to talk about this mobile phone from it, which is not only a "real small screen phone", but also a veritable "Cellphone" - Jelly Star from Unihertz.

Unihertz, a mobile phone manufacturer, often engages in some non-mainstream strange mobile phones, such as "Dirty Earth Reincarnation Version Rebranded BlackBerry", "Super Large Battery Capacity Three-proof Outdoor Machine" and other partial stitching strange mobile phones.

Although the processor used and other performance configurations are much worse than mainstream mobile phones.

However, compared with the convenience of use, there will still be a very small number of players who will miss the weight and size of mobile phones in the era of feature phones.

This Jelly Star tells you from the outside, "I'm a feature-sized smartphone", and compared it with the packaging of other Android flagships, Mother Earth said that she was very happy.

The phone's all-over back panel features a clear plastic body design that was popular on GBA consoles in the millennium.

The two LED lights on the back of the mobile phone that resemble "U and C" are white throughout, which is not so much a tribute to the Nothing mobile phone, but an in-depth reproduction of Huaqiangbei's innovative spirit.

It is a good collection of incoming calls, message push, charging, and flashlight functions in these two lights, and the pattern is not as varied as RGB light strips, but on such a small mobile phone, it fully reveals what it means to be both stuffy and sassy.

It would be nice to be able to make a sound while the lights are on, like Nothing.

And when Tony held this Jelly Star and the latest iPhone 15 Pro in his hand at the same time, he realized what it means to be really exquisite.

The camera module of the iPhone has not only increased with the upgrade year by year, but the single area has become larger and larger.

You know, even the most powerful designer, it is difficult to arrange multiple raised cameras elegantly behind the phone, and the iPhone has done its best to look good.

On the other hand, the Jelly Star, which only has a single-camera 4800W pixel camera, not only does not have a protrusion problem, but also does not need to pay much attention to the position and arrangement of the rear camera on the phone.

How long has it been since you've seen a phone like this that can be fully held in the palm of your hand?

It is quite a bit of a feature phone era, and the legacy of mobile phone industrial design, and the two old Nokia together, there is no sense of disobedience.

I have to admit that "less is more" is sometimes the truth of product design.

After talking about the appearance, let's take a look at what such a small mobile phone can do.

First of all, the typing function that other mobile phones won't talk about in detail,On this small mobile phone,It's become a problem。。。

Although Tony didn't encounter any accidental touches when using it, when typing with Jelly Star, he still had the illusion that "I feel like I was going to touch it by mistake".

Compared with the 26 keys, the typing method of one-handed nine-square grid is more natural, but on the whole, the typing feel of small mobile phones is indeed not as refreshing as that of large mobile phones.

Another interesting feature is to make video calls.

Playing video on a phone of Jelly Star's size, there is always a feeling that it will freeze in the next second, and it automatically reminds me of the feeling of instability I felt when I used a smartphone in the early days.

In terms of the arrangement of the buttons, in order to take care of the normal holding state of the human hand, Jelly Star has set the power button on the side to the top, and moved the C-mount to the bottom of the side.

The advantage of this is that the thumb does press the power button naturally when in the grip state.

But the reality is that Tony has been domesticated by mobile phone manufacturers for a long time, and subconsciously thinks that the power button should be in the middle.

So when I just opened the phone, I pressed the middle button for a long time, but there was no response, thinking it was a loss of power, and I continued to press it after charging it overnight, but it still couldn't turn on.

Finally, I read the manual and found out that I pressed it wrong.,Don't be stupid and don't be stupid.。。。

So what is this button in the middle for?

Tony researched it and found that its default function can be used as a walkie-talkie through software, and he can also be set to take a photo start button or a flashlight switch like Apple's Acition Button.

The walkie-talkie may not seem that important, but according to Jelly Star's official publicity, it still takes into account the needs of some outdoor hiking enthusiasts.

Another thing that Tony feels at ease is that the Jelly Star has an extremely advanced 3.5mm headphone jack that allows you to plug in a variety of wired headphone devices without having to switch.

Great, needless to say.

In terms of performance, the Jelly Star phone is powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 processor.

It sounds like a low-end name, but in fact, the performance of this processor is a little higher than Qualcomm's mid-range flagship processor, the Snapdragon 765G.

The Redmi Note9's Antutu score is around 34W.

So in terms of function, a game like Jelly Star Running King of Glory, even if the picture quality is high, it is easy to eat.

But playing games with this phone, there will be two small problems that I don't know if it's good or bad.

One is that the Jelly Star's screen is too small, with a 3.0-inch screen and a 480×854 resolution screen, if your eyes are not particularly sensitive, and the image quality is high or medium, it can't be seen at all.

In addition, when watching video sites,As long as you're not afraid of myopia,Theoretically, you don't have to rush members for high image quality.,It's a kind of plan to use your own eyes as a treasure.。

Another problem is that because competitive games are not adapted for mobile phone screens of this size, it is very easy to touch the wrong move by mistake when rubbing the glass board.

For example, criminal operations such as turning a skill into a flash.

Tony took the phone and drove it with his friends, and the second one kicked me straight away.

So in terms of mobile games, you can actually treat Jelly Star as a phone with slightly better performance than the Snapdragon 765G, and the gaming experience is, yes, but infinitely close to zero.

Then again, it's a bit of a pity to buy a small phone of this size back to play games, and Tony thinks it's really suitable for the use of Jelly Star, or hide in the sleeve of the school uniform during class to read novels...

Or investigative journalists, who use it to do some classified interviews that are not normally filmed...

4800W pixels may not be so leading in the field of mobile phone photography with hundreds of millions of pixels at every turn, but the work of daily shooting and scanning codes is already very sufficient.

In general, Jelly Star, as a real mini phone with a small size and decent performance, wants to be used as a main machine, and the Android 13 system and 2000mAh battery are not unsatisfied.

The only question is whether your eyes can withstand the myopia caused by long-term use of such a small screen.

Eyes aside, Tony believes that Jelly Star is undoubtedly the ultimate answer for small screen lovers.

Let the phone return to the palm of your hand, let the Smartphone return to the Cellphone, and to hell with the scene of holding a brick on the phone!)
