Even if the size of smartphone screens has been growing, 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 extremes 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 110 g 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 around 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.
