My first one was a Samsung Galaxy S1 that I got in 2013 and it was a great little device that was easy to open up and repair. It had only 512MB of RAM but that was plenty for basic phone needs, web browsing and running some Android apps like AnkiDroid at the time.
Curious if any folks here have a Unihertz phone (Jelly/Atom/etc.) and how they’ve been for them. Knowing their constraints, I’ve still been tempted to get one because I think I’d like the more compact sizes, and they’re not super expensive....
I have a jelly 2 that I used daily for a couple of months and since then only touch it every now and then. For browsing the web and normal phone things it’s pretty good. I actually like the thickness with how small it is. The battery life just barely got me through the day. It kills background tasks of apps by default but you can change that per app. Typing on it also works surprisingly well.
However there is bad. The fingerprint sensor is highly unreliable. The screen has really bad response times so there’s a lot of ghosting. The speakers are also pretty bad. The camera is exactly what you’d expect as well. Also the update support is extremely limited.
I initially bought it to take with me on long runs so I don’t have a bulky phone on me. Then I broke my primary phone so that’s when I used it for awhile.
9 years of work on and off, with a frustrating/disappointing 5 year shelving in the middle due to some pain/muscle problems, is finally complete and I am so happy
