Review of Jelly 2 Phone: Cute, Snappy, But Plagued by Battery Issues

The body is identical to the previous Jelly 2 model. I bought it for my daughter on Kickstarter as soon as they started picking it up as a joke. It has an older Mediatek (Helio P60), but otherwise basically the same – a snappy phone without being an outright semi-functional shunt. Experiences? At the time, someone objected to me that such a tiny phone is nonsense with relatively solid internals (6GB RAM, 128GB storage), a contradiction – you can’t use much multimedia due to its flimsiness. Well, it’s actually true. Well, in the end, I wear it after three years as a pure backup, but I’m sorry to leave such a rarity completely idle. Yes, he’s fat, but that probably doesn’t really matter in this case. The display is tiny and within that quite delicate and responds very nicely and briskly, and the processor manages everything without jams. Even Netflix and so on, but you won’t be able to watch movies on it. The camera is not as terrible as one might expect, it even takes surprisingly decent selfies, the main one is not a miracle, but it can be used. Infrared and NFC is a nice bonus. It’s definitely not a gimmick that will barely work for you. It’s such a cute thing. Is it enough? However, if you get the impression that you want it for some reason, it has one very fundamental problem – the battery. I don’t know about Jelly Star, but it will almost certainly be the same as Jelly 2 – you can only dream about the day! With this thickness, it’s a shame that in normal use, unless you really only use it for calls, the battery lasts literally a few hours, making the phone basically unusable. As for the criticized (lack of) support of the manufacturer – it is not really miraculous. One update came. But on the A11, I already had to update manually via PC and it’s very difficult to find that ROM on the net. So, as such a cute little thing for a child, yes (for adult fingers it’s really small for pleasant operation), but the battery is a total mess.
