Title: GPS Update
Review: I bought this phone in December 2017, having moved up from the Posh Micro X. I had planned to write a review comparing the two phones (e.g., size, weight, features, battery life, and so on). Since the Posh Micro does not appear to be available any more, there's no use in writing that review. In summary, though, the Unihertz Jelly is the superior phone -- although I did like the slightly smaller size of the Posh Micro -- but it failed in one feature: the GPS. Other reviewers have noted the erratic nature of the GPS and for me it was virtually useless. When I used it to navigate, it suddenly had me off the interstate and driving through neighborhoods several blocks away. This phone would be a great tool to use when running, especially when wearing it with the optional armband, but without a functioning GPS, I couldn't reliably track my run. A five mile loop around Stone Mountain turned into 6.95 mile straight line, though the GPS did generously shave a couple minutes off my pace!So, I contacted Unihertz support. They informed me that they had made improvements in the GPS and, since my phone was still under warranty, offered to exchange it if I would ship my phone to China. I was reluctant to do so since, first, I relied on my phone every day and, second, shipping to China by a trackable means isn't cheap. Still, I backed up my data, reset the phone to the factory setting, and shipped it.Meanwhile, I resurrected my old Posh Micro, which loosely fit in the Unihertz armband. It told me that a 3.1 mile (5 kilometer) run through the woods was 3.09 miles. Wow! Subsequent runs were similarly accurate. I kept my fingers crossed for the replacement Jelly.When it finally arrived, I eagerly took it for a run. It measured that same 3.1 mile course through the woods as 3.15 miles. The GPS told me the five miles around Stone Mountain is a loop of 5.15 miles. In addition, it reports changes in elevation, which the previous Jelly did not. It's still not 100% accurate, since a couple times it has dumped me off the interstate when I'm driving, and it straightened out a curvy stretch of trail when running. But, my daughter's expensive Garmin watch sometimes misreports her runs, so that might be the nature of GPS.So, Unihertz has indeed addressed the GPS issue. I'm happy with the phone, which I can comfortably store in my pocket. I can run with it, listening to podcasts and reasonably accurately tracking my route and pace. Since Georgia passed a hands free driving law, I can use Bluetooth earbuds or connect to my car stereo and use Android Auto to navigate in traffic, send and receive phone calls and texts, and listen to music and podcasts. But it has to stay plugged in because Android Auto will flatten the battery pretty quickly!UPDATES: A question was asked below about Android Auto. For unknown reasons, Amazon won't let me reply. But here's my answer: It's odd that this is mentioned in the specs and I wonder if it might have applied to the phone when it was initially available. I use Android Auto regularly. Generally, it works fine, with occasional quirks (e.g., it won't initiate text messages, it reads then deletes messages I've received). I don't know if this is the app or the phone, but restarting the app usually cures it. It does consume a lot of power, especially Google Maps, so I keep the phone plugged in when running it.Now, for the GPS. Last week, it was pouring rain. My wife was driving with her Motorola phone running Waze. I was in the passenger seat with the Unihertz Jelly running Google Maps. I watched while my phone repeatedly lost contact with the GPS. A few seconds later and it reconnected, only to drop again. I attributed that to the cloud cover, but my wife's Motorola never lost contact.The next week, while driving on the interstate in clear weather, the GPS kept moving me onto side streets while Google Maps told me to make a u-turn. However, my phone has been dead on during my runs, except for running in the rain, when it got lost in the woods.The bottom line is that the GPS is much, much better, but it's not perfect. That may be a lot to ask for such a small phone. Still, I'm generally quite pleased.

Title: Extrememly powerful for the size at a great price.
Review: I was looking for a small smart phone and this is definitely small. The price is right too.First of all, I'm a little old-school when it comes to phones. My first few cell phones would all fit comfortably in the front pocket of my jeans. As phones have grown into portable computers, so has the screen. As of October 2018, a Google search of "compact smart phone" gives results of 6" screen or less with most being around 5.5-6". Add a case and it is easily too large for me to carry comfortably.Enter the Jelly Pro. If nothing else, I have less lower back pain from sitting lop-sided on my Galaxy. That alone is worth the swap. Although it is slightly smaller than I would have chosen, there aren't many options available. I have been using it for about a month now, so here are the Pros and Cons:Pros:1. It's tiny. I carry it in my front jeans pocket and it's slightly larger than the average key-fob. Much more comfortable than sitting on a mini-tablet-phone.2. The price. $128 to my door, including next-day shipping. In the day of $1100 phones that don't do much more than previous models, this is excellent.3. So far, it has done almost anything that other Android based phones do. It has two SIM card slots and a Micro SD slot. I added 128 GB to the unit and it can be configured to either add to the phone's internal 16 GB, or as an "external" USB drive. Also, the battery is replaceable. No print reader, but it does support facial recognition. I have not tried to use that feature yet.4. Most others don't realize it's a phone. I've had several people ask if it was an mp3 player.5. It's not an iPhone. None of the Apple software that doesn't play well with others.Cons (in no particular order):1. There is a slight learning curve. Due to it's size, I have had to be more diligent in using the touch screen to minimize typo's and the like. For the keyboard, I have downloaded a couple of large-print keyboard apps which are a little easier to use. Overall, it's not too bad, but typing is slower for me. If you text a lot, you may find it annoying.2. Screen is plastic and scratches easily. Get a good stick-on screen protector and put it on as soon as you get it out of the box.3. Widgets would not update on factory version of android. I loaded an update which helped substantially, but sometimes they still lag behind. Another update is available, but I have not yet installed it. This issue may be resolved.4. Camera is not that great. It's perfectly useable for most situations, but by today's standards some may find it lacking. Don't count on using it for family photos.5. 16 GB internal memory. Although this can be expanded to 144 GB via a 128GB Micro SD card, this is rather small by today's standards.6. Battery life is short. With minimal use, it will last all day on one charge. If used very much at all, it will need a recharge. The update improved this over the factory installed software, but it's still not quite on par with other mainstream phones.7. It's tiny. People may think you're crazy talking to yourself and listening to your hand. During a phone call, you can actually hide the entire phone in your hand.Overall, I am satisfied with the phone. Most of these issues I was aware of prior to purchase based on reviews from various places. This seems like the type of device that you'll either love or hate. The tradeoffs are well worth the shortcomings in my opinion. If you purchase this, don't expect it to be an iPhone X or a Samsung S9. For a low cost it serves a niche market with a specific purpose and does it quite well.

Title: She's a keeper.
Review: Have considered this phone for awhile. Always thought it was just too small. It is better than I had expected. Like it a lot. Basically, use it like a feature phone with a QWERTY and full Android at my fingertips, By smartphone standards, doesnt have Gorilla glass. It performs as well or better, as any entry level phone. A little lag, here and there, a camera that takes usable pics, screen needs more PPI/resolution. Its 115 bucks, who could complain.I see no difference texting on this compared to a big phone. Sure I make mistakes on both, but predictive text is there to save me. Really its not bad for short conversations. They set this phone up very well. Doesnt have much bloatware other than all the usual Google bloat. Out of the box it had 29 app icons. No Facebook and no Twitter is a real plus for me. Signal strength is pretty good. Its only slightly less than a big phone, and much better than The Palm. The phone has a nice sleek body. but very slippery, The phone is quite beautiful, hated to cover it up. I did buy the cover to improve grip, and works well for that. It has hotspot and wifi calling.To save on battery and have some semblance of privacy I have all of the following off... GPS, WiFi/Bluetooth-Location Accuracy, Bluetooth, WiFi, Data, VoLTE , and signed out of Google. Also clamped down on App permissions. Use it for calling and texts, and only turn on internet as needed. The battery gets me though the day... Under "normal" smart phone use, the battery wouldnt last very long.WARNING! there was an issue where two OEM apps requiring 'location' or 'contacts' permissions in order to open. That seems very suspicious so I deactivated them. Loaded two well known antivirus Apps, All good.

Review: Das Smartphone ist sehr praktisch und lässt sich gut verstauen. Trotz des kleinen Displays habe ich es auch schon zu Navigationszwecken benutzen können. Die 3,5mm Klinke und dei beiden SIM-Kartenslots sowie der SD-Kartenplatz war ein Muss für mich. Rechenleistung ist natürlich nicht für größere Spiele geeignet - aber wer will das bei der Größe schon... Einziges Manko, der Akku ist sehr schnell leer. Trotzdem würde ich es wieder kaufen...

Review: Hacía tiempo que buscaba un móvil pequeño, ligero, con androide relativamente actual y que no sesubiera excesivamente de precio.Con el Jelly Pro 3 lo he encontrado y eso que los muchos comentarios negativos sobre su batería,me hicieron dudar.Lo tengo desde hace tres semanas, le he hecho varias pruebas de consumo y para mi ofrece lo que necesito.El teclado es pequeño ya que la pantalla es de 2,45 pulgadas, pero si tus dedos no son grandes (como es mi caso) no hay ningún problema para manejarlo.En mi caso que suelo salir frecuentemente en bici, es el compañero perfecto para llevar en el bolsillo delmaillot, ni notas que lo llevas.Lo primero que hice fue configurarlo y personalizarlo a mi gusto. Desinstalé algunas aplicaciones y otrasque no se puede las inhabilité. En su lugar instalé otras de mi agrado.El brillo lo he reducido al 40%, con esta intensidad para mi es suficiente.El wifi lo tengo desactivado, así como los datos. Si tengo que hacer alguna consulta en internet conectopara ello temporalmente los datos.La navegación es fluida y a pesar del tamaño de la pantalla se puede hacer perfectamente.Lo uso básicamente para llamar o recibir llamadas, whatsapp, sms y alguna consulta en internet.No se puede decir que sea un adicto al móvil.Conociendo el uso que le doy paso a dar los resultados de la ultima prueba de consumo de bateríaque le he hecho:Lo cargué al 100% el viernes 4-6 a las 17.00 hs. lo he tenido encendido, como antes he explicadoy además con el ahorro de batería activado y hasta hoy lunes 7-6 a las 17.00 hs. había consumidoel 85%, es decir quedaba el 15% y ya se encendió el led rojo.Durante estos tres días he hecho dos llamadas, he recibido una y he hecho dos o tres consultas, todoello durante poco tiempo.En resumen puedo hacer en este móvil, lo mismo que con el Xiaomi de 5,84 pulgadas que también tengo,pero con un tamaño y peso muy inferior.Después de dos meses de uso he de añadir que este teléfono cuando se usa intensivamente se calientay la batería evidentemente dura menos, por lo que no lo recomiendo como primer teléfono, pero si comosegundo móvil (es mi caso).En resumen si lo que quieres es un móvil pequeño y ligero, para llamar y que te llamen ocasionalmente y que no te moleste llevarlo en el bolsillo este es perfecto, pero si lo que necesitas es un móvil para un uso intensivo, olvídate de él.

Review: Cutest phone ever, and 100% functional! I got it because I travel all the time and wanted to have my home country SIM in a separate phone (that wouldn’t take up space). Jelly is the perfect solution. My boyfriend got his to take with him on nights out, which is also pretty clever! The touch screen is amazingly good, superb precise functionality. (If you have big fingers you can always use one a screen pen). The only thing is the battery life isn’t the best and I charge it every other day. But with that being the only issue I’m not complaining too much!
