The sight of a smartphone that is possibly smaller than a palm is not common. The array of tech features in a smartphone generally requires a much bigger form factor. However, The Unihertz Jelly 2E is changing the narrative. The new smartphone is smaller than the palm and comes with decent features for a smartphone. The Jelly 2E has officially gone on sale in China.

The Unihertz Jelly 2E National Bank version is an extremely rare and super-compact smartphone. It appeals to users who are more comfortable using small-sized mobile phones with the needed functions also present. The smartphone has a 3-inch 354 x 480p display and is powered by the MediaTek Helio A22 processor. It has a RAM/ storage configuration of 4GB/ 64GB and a 2000mAh battery. The Jelly 2E is compatible with global 4G LTE network connectivity and has a fingerprint scanner. It runs on Android 12 out of the box.

The super-compact smartphone has dual card slots and supports storage expansion via microSD. It also supports infrared functionality and has a 3.5mm headphone jack. There is an obvious departure between the Jelly 2E and its predecessor, the Jelly 2. The newer model comes with a less-powerful processor than its predecessor’s MediaTek Helio P60 (MT6771). The Jelly 2 has a larger memory, and supports NFC, and OTG. It also allows fingerprint-based payment operations.

The Unihertz Jelly 2E National Bank version is available from the e-commerce platform Jingdong with a price of 1,099 yuan (~$152). The Jelly 2E is available in limited quantities but it is unclear how many units are available for sale.

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.
