- Hey guys, this is Austin.
And inside this slightly sketchy looking box
could very well be the world's smallest smartphone.
So this just hit Kickstarter last week.
And shout out to Unihertz for actually hooking us up
with the phone a little bit early.
This is the Jelly.
So these actually won't start shipping until August or so,
so this isn't fully final packaging, but,
that is so tiny.
So inside the box
it looks like we get a little bit of paperwork
about the phone,
as well as the Jelly itself.
Which is...
okay, so that's pretty small.
It is hard to kind of get your mind around
that this is a full fledged smartphone,
because it is.
Not only does this run Android,
it actually runs Android 7.0 Nougat.
Now as you might imagine,
this doesn't have the biggest battery in the world.
But because it actually has such a tiny screen,
it might actually not be too bad.
Pop off the back,
and now I do have a spot to install the battery,
but we also have a slot for a micro SD card,
as well as two SIMs.
So when a phone that's this small
you're actually really not giving up a lot.
So for comparison this is what it looks like
next to a Galaxy S8.
The Jelly is rocking a 2.4 inch screen.
But look at this.
So what's cool is this is full Android.
So not only do we have pretty much
all the normal Google Apps,
but we actually do have the Play Store as well.
We can literally look at like three characters
of a name of an app.
How am I gonna use this keyboard?
Are you serious right now?
Can I like rotate it?
You know that though, I actually can kind of type on that.
I have to go slow but it works.
I'm actually really impressed
with how usable the keyboard is.
I mean seriously,
this is by far the smallest keyboard I've ever used, period.
And yet it works.
It's not great,
but honestly I actually don't feel like
I'm really losing much.
Inside the Jelly is a full fledged smartphone.
So it's rocking a quad core processor,
one gigabyte of memory, eight gigabytes of storage,
as well as, of course, that micro SD card slot.
Really, the biggest bottleneck with the Jelly,
is that 2.4 inch, 240p display.
I mean, to be fair,
it actually doesn't look terrible in person.
Yes, it could be a little bit brighter.
And the resolution is, well, low.
But it does make a lot of apps kind of usable.
Now, with a quad core processor this actually
isn't too far off from a lot of budget phones
that you would normally use.
Because it's a little bit thicker,
it actually probably won't run too slowly.
Yo, Geekbench actually isn't bad.
So it scores 475 on the single core
and 1298 on the multi core.
That's actually not that far off from a bigger,
slightly older phone, like a Moto G3.
The Jelly kind of feels like a bit of an older phone.
I don't really mean that in necessarily bad way.
So the plastic build reminds me a lot of the Galaxy S4.
Sure, maybe not the greatest smartphone in the world,
but it was also like $700 when it came out.
So you've got a decent processor,
you've got LTE, you've got Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS,
and something that even the iPhone doesn't have,
is a headphone jack.
One quirk of the Jelly are the buttons.
So, down below the screen, you have a home button,
as well as back and menu keys.
So to get to multitasking,
you actually have to tap and hold on the home button.
Very much like an old school Android phone.
"Talk about your first PC build."
Okay, so YouTube works!
And with that tiny 240p screen,
it is definitely not the crispest experience in the world,
but it actually does work.
(upbeat hip hop music)
Okay, so, the speaker is maybe not amazing,
but to be fair, if you're getting the Jelly
to listen to the in-built speaker
and watch video on the display,
you should probably look elsewhere.
(gentle techno music)
The Jelly also has a five megapixel rear-facing camera,
as well as a two megapixel front-facing camera.
Let's get some close-up action.
That actually is HDR work.
It pulled a lot out of that.
Oh, wait. (laughs)
Okay, so when it means HDR,
it's actually taking multiple photos
and stitching them together.
There's some serious ghosting on Ken's face here.
Let's get some not HDR action.
There you go.
Jimmy, lookin', strikin' a pose here.
It's really hard to judge the pictures on this tiny screen.
From here it actually doesn't look that bad,
but I actually wanna see what we can do with video.
All right, we are now recording on the Jelly.
Jimmy, thoughts on this wonderful video quality
that you cannot see.
- I can't see it, but I'm sure it's mediocre?
- From what I'm seeing on the screen,
this isn't that bad.
I mean, it's probably not gonna look great
once you actually blow it up on a PC, but.
The key to making any camera look good is a 240p screen.
Something tells me this front-facing camera?
Not gonna be too hot.
Yep, that picture totally sums up my feeling
of how bright the sun is. (laughs heartily)
Man, we look like a happy bunch.
But again, it's kinda missin' the point of the Jelly.
This is not the best camera, this is not the best screen,
this is one of the smallest phones in the world,
and it is in fact the smallest smartphone with LTE.
For like, $80,
the Jelly is not the most practical phone in the world,
but as a backup phone, or maybe something for workouts,
it's actually not bad.
So, what do you guys think?
Let me know in the comments below,
and I will catch you on the next one.
