Unihertz, the company renowned for its compact smartphones, has teased a forthcoming addition to the Jelly lineup – the Jelly Max. This upcoming device hints at being the world's tiniest 5G smartphone, integrating next-gen connectivity into a surprisingly small form factor.
Unihertz Teases Its First 5G Jelly Phone
Although the official details remain undisclosed, Unihertz has shared teasers that provide a sneak peek into what to expect. The Jelly Max seems to feature a contemporary punch-hole display, with the camera subtly positioned in the top left corner. This design choice often implies the presence of an in-display fingerprint sensor, suggesting a potentially sleek OLED screen.
The exact size of the Jelly Max stays intriguingly ambiguous. Based on comparisons with a standard keyboard layout shown in the teasers, estimates suggest a screen size ranging between 4 and 5 inches diagonally. This would mark a significant leap from the current titleholder, the Unihertz Jelly Star, known for its 3-inch display as the smallest Android 13 phone.
Updated Processor for Enhanced Performance
Another thrilling revelation from the teasers is that the Jelly Max will not use the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset, which powers the Jelly Star. This implies that the Jelly Max will house a more powerful processor, capable of meeting the demands of 5G connectivity.
However, as of now, the Jelly Max has yet to obtain essential certifications such as the 3C certification in China or approval from the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (CMIIT). These certifications are crucial for the legal sale of a phone in certain markets.
This absence of certification suggests that the Jelly Max is probably still in the early stages of its development. While Unihertz is celebrated for its innovative and niche products, it might take a while before the Jelly Max becomes available to consumers.
