Even if the size of smartphone screens has been increasing, there is still a market for people who prefer smaller smartphones. Some popular compact smartphones in the current generation are the Asus Zenfone 8 and the Samsung Galaxy S22, which sport 5.9-inch and 6.1-inch displays, respectively.
However, the Chinese company Unihertz, which is known to take the compact form factor to the extreme, has come up with a 3-inch display smartphone called the Jelly 2E.
The Jelly 2E is the successor of the Jelly 2, which launched back in 2020. The Jelly 2E takes its predecessor’s design and modifies it somewhat. Particularly, Unihertz has upgraded from Android 11 to Android 12, which is a great change. Unfortunately, the firm has removed NFC support and switched from 6 GB to 4 GB of RAM. The 128 GB of capacity in the Jelly 2 has also been reduced by 64 GB by Unihertz this time. Nevertheless, the Jelly 2E features a dual-SIM connection, a 3-inch display, and is 110 grams in weight. Like its twin, the Jelly 2E also boasts a 2,000 mAh battery.
Additionally, Unihertz added a MediaTek Helio A22, a budget chipset with four CPU cores and a PowerVR GE8320 GPU built using a 16-nm manufacturing process, to the Jelly 2E. Unfortunately, the MediaTek Helio A22 in the Jelly 2 performs about half as well as the Helio P60. Currently, if individuals register before November 7th, Unihertz will give them a US$20 discount. According to rumors, the Jelly 2E will cost US$170 upfront, before any discounts.
