![]() The phone comes with an IR remote app, but the blaster works even better with the many third-party remote apps available in the Google Play store. The IR remote is a terrific throwback feature. There are fun numeric battery and network speed indicators in the status bar I like knowing that sort of stuff. The company adds a few apps, including an emergency SOS app, a Student mode app (I'm not really sure what that is), and a Toolbox with useful utilities such as a decibel meter, a heart rate monitor, a pedometer, and a compass. Unihertz puts a low-key skin over Android that's designed to make using a tiny phone easier. Sure, it's entirely treble, but I could enjoy my tunes. I was pretty surprised that I could set the Jelly 2 on my desk and listen to music with the built-in bottom-ported speaker. Music playback is a strength here, and not just with wired or Bluetooth headphones. The Jelly 2 makes an excellent wide-screen TV for your Playmobils. Of course, that's because the Jelly 2's screen is a fraction of the resolution comparatively. On the GFXBench Car Chase graphics benchmark, I got 27fps onscreen, as good as a current high-end smartphone in its maximum resolution mode. ![]() That puts it way above its competitor the Palm Phone on application performance, more in the range of the Samsung Galaxy S9 series-pretty impressive for a tiny phone. In tests, the Jelly 2 scored 8,090 on the PCMark Work benchmark, 286/1,065 on Geekbench, and 200 on Basemark Web. I loaded many different apps on the phone and was happy to see they were all compatible, though some apps aren't very usable because of too-small touch targets. One of the things about tiny phones is that they don't need a lot of power to work well, because they aren't driving super-high-res screens. There's a MicroSD card slot to add storage. The Jelly 2 runs Android 10 on a 2GHz Mediatek Helio P60 chipset with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage (119GB available). Weighing in at 3.8 ounces, it's heavier than that tiny device, but the difference in performance here makes the added weight worth it. This is the smallest high-quality smartphone on the market-at 3.74 by 1.94 by 0.65 inch (HWD), it's even smaller (albeit thicker) than the Palm phone. It isn't too slippery, although the back easily picks up fingerprints. The Jelly 2 I received to test is a smooth, blue plastic lozenge of a phone that fits very securely in my hand. Once this pandemic is over and we can turn our faces to the outside world again, the Jelly 2 will help us enjoy it more. Unihertz, the phone's maker, has built several tiny phones, including the Jelly Pro and the Atom. It's a phone for people who want to travel outside and enjoy nature, other people, and the world at large. This tiny, affordable smartphone ($199) helps fight screen addiction by giving you a fully capable device that is just too small to suck you in.
