Unihertz, the company behind several niche smartphones, has recently hinted at the Jelly Max, which they claim will be the smallest 5G phone available. Following the initial announcement two weeks ago, more specifications for this eagerly awaited device have now been disclosed.
Jelly Max Ups the Game for Compact 5G with High-End Features and Fast Charging
The Jelly Max forgoes the underwhelming processors often seen in small phones. Instead, it features a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip, paired with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and a substantial 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Compared to its predecessor, the Jelly Star, Unihertz promises remarkable performance enhancements: 54% faster CPU, 87% quicker GPU, 36% faster memory, and a 30% boost in energy efficiency.
Details regarding the exact screen size remain undisclosed, but Unihertz guarantees that the Jelly Max won't skimp on battery life. It includes a 4000mAh battery, which is notably large for such a compact gadget. This is further enhanced by 66W fast charging, allowing the phone to charge up to 90% in just 20 minutes.
Size and Launch Details
While the exact dimensions are still unknown, comparisons with the standard keyboard shown in the teaser indicate a size similar to an iPhone 13 Mini. This would represent a significant upgrade from the tiny 3-inch display of the Jelly Star, making the Jelly Max a more practical choice for daily usage.
Information about the launch date and pricing is limited, but Unihertz has confirmed an upcoming Kickstarter campaign. This crowdfunding approach is in line with their usual strategy and helps them gauge market interest before a full-scale launch.
Future Speculations
Additionally, there are rumors that Unihertz may be developing another phone with a physical keyboard, sparking excitement among fans who miss the tactile typing experience.
