Sugar Cubes Jelly has converted a unit of the Unihertz Jelly Star smartphone into a handheld game console. The Unihertz Jelly Star features a 3-inch display with a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels. Its compact properties, together with its Android 13 OS architecture have aided Sugar Cubes Jelly in the transformation of the smartphone to a compact gaming handheld.

The Unihertz Jelly Star is powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 processor with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. It comes with a 2,000mAh battery and is priced at $210. The smartphone was promoted by its manufacturer as the world’s smallest Android 13 smartphone. The specs of the Jelly Star make it more powerful than several of the existing handheld game consoles. This fact may have motivated developers at Sugar Cubes Jelly to construct a set of controllers/ cases that essentially transforms the compact smartphone into a tiny game console. When the smartphone is slid into the upcoming Sugar Cubes Jelly case, the user is offered a new way to use the smartphone as a game console. The built-in controllers and buttons include a D-Pad, analog stick, shoulder triggers, and action buttons.

There will be two versions of the Sugar Cubes Jelly case for the Unihertz Jelly Star – a horizontal version that places the controllers below the display and a vertical model that puts the display at the center while the controllers are at the left and right sides. The installation of the Jelly Star into the Sugar Cubes Jelly case will be a simple process of just sliding it in with the horizontal version. However, a disassembly of the smartphone could be required in the installation of the vertical case model. The cases are reportedly made from metal and could come in several color options.

There are still some details lacking for the new Sugar Cubes Jelly cases for the Unihertz Jelly Star smartphone. The company has neither released any price nor the exact release date for the cases.
