What is up with all of you people complaining about chargers not included? Don’t you already have like 3000 at home?

It is one of the few decisions that Apple did that were completely right.

Also the complaint about “price was still the same without the charger” is useless, they’ve increased prices forever, it’s not about the charger.

Move on, people.

Edit: some grammar, and also some disagreements without actual answers. I’d really like to know why you’d get angry at less trash in the world.


Seems like the comeback of a more sane system. I just wish they stopped using so many circles or such huge rounded corners that enforce smaller and smaller text and icons.


Not my experience when using parallel downloads in Arch Linux. Pacman becomes waaaay faster.


It’s amazing to me how much these companies spend on redesigns that add nothing but rounded corners one year, then sharp corners next year, and so on…


At least on my KDE Plasma you can assign a priority number to every single connection, using the UI itself, no terminal fiddling. For example, if you know one that you ALWAYS want to connect to, you can assign it a very high value, etc.


Workaround, get some mewing hardware and √ 🤫



This is fake. Glass is not the only material that can do wireless charging. There exist plastic phones that can wirelessly charge. In fact. Your wireless charger is very much probably plastic, not glass.

Also, my current phone (Unihertz Jelly Star) is plastic and has NFC… So it’s also not related to NFC either.


A glass back is not necessary for wireless charging. There’s many materials that can fit there, the glass choice is purely for “premium” feel.


I can’t give personal opinions yet, but reviews seem to say that it’s “fine”, which for a phone of this size, I think that’s a success. Although “fine” might not be the “good” that you are looking for.

It’s 48 MP, which is great for zooming but I don’t think it has any other perk. Low light pics seem to be pretty meh. It’s also just one camera. Absolutely fine for me, I know that. But definitely will be worse than the Pixels and the iPhones.





No worry, I understand. As I said, I will report back, and I am even thinking of uploading videos about this, specially if it turns out as good as it seems. I hate that neither MKBHD, LTT, JerryRig… No one showed this bad boy while they all cried that small phones are dying… Well, now I am starting to believe they might be part of the problem…


Isn’t it crazy? When I found it I couldn’t believe my eyes. I mean… Hopefully it does not disappoint when I get it


Oh, damn, so I write like AI, should I take that as compliment or criticism?

I am just a dude with small hands that did not know this phone existed until now. And I fell in love. That’s it.


I don’t think 4G will get outdated in the next 5 years considering that 4G devices are still being launched today… And also considering that most people are just connected to Wi-Fi anyways…

I think we can be fine with this phone for 4/5 years and the Jelly Star 5G will probably be out there when the time comes.


I don’t think that is possible, I believe one of the two slots is nanoSIM only, but will report back.




4G is here to stay for a long while. It’s fast enough for 99% of cases and 5G only covers very small areas, and will only be used (at least for now) on crowded areas where it makes sense.

Also, this device has 480p screen… I think 4G is pretty fine.


I have not forgotten. And this is not so much swimming upstream but rather, as Captain America said, it’s more like planting yourself like a tree and say “no, you move”.



Go and check the link, but essentially: - small - 2023 release (Android 13) - **HEADPHONE JACK** (I was almost sold here) - **NFC** - 8GB RAM (that is powerful) - 256 GB internal storage - Dual SIM or SIM+MicroSD - IR BLASTER (whatttttttt) - **LED indicators** (front AND BACK) - fingerprint scanner - face ID - FM Radio - **PROGRAMMABLE BUTTON** (ok I'm in love already STOPPP) I mean... this list is mindblowing. So... ## What's the downside? Honestly, you can go and check all reviews... but this phone is virtually perfect for the size, the only issue I have is that **the screen is a bit too tiny**, 3 inches, and 480p, and I think this will make many people run away. It should make me look elsewhere also... but where? Any other small phone with a bigger screen is pretty bad, old, etc... and I really needed a new phone, so I realised this was an opportunity to commit to the cause, and buy and _hopefully_ push this form factor from Unihertz to mainstream brands. Hopefully one day we can get one with a slightly bigger screen, I believe 4 inches and 1080p would be brutal. But for now... I think I've found my new phone. In fact, I bought it 3 hours after knowing its existance. ## If you are not sold yet... Go check reviews on YouTube ([example](https://youtu.be/Poe1zgdZCfw)). Honestly, you'll see every reviewer falls in love with the device, even non-small phone lovers. It looks like it performs pretty well, it's decently fast, battery is solid, screen is bright and colorful, the LEDs are really useful, even Face ID (which I'll probably disable) is quick, it does not heat up at all, and even photos are pretty decent... And it's something like **200 $**. Come on. What a deal. Will report back. ## So, what do **you** think?
