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 used the Jelly 2 for several months and the Atom L for 2+ years. The hardware and base software is very solid, with some minor exceptions that can be expected for a small manufacturer.

The Jelly 2 was too small for me and the fingerprint sensor and camera were sub par. But if you want a tiny phone, its 100 times better than anything on the market. Get the Jelly star for the updates specs though.

The Atom L(and XL) was a solid phone, literally and rhetorically. The camera wasn't flagship class, but solid. I never had a problem with performance, and the phone is very durable. Mine developed a connection issue which was annoying, but not a show stopper. Unfortunately, they haven't updated this device any longer and there is no new version.

If you have any questions let me know.
