Not too bad! I have the Jelly 2 and Titan Pocket, and I generally enjoy using them. Each has its own quirks, of course, but I love the fact that they exist and that they’re not too bad to use.

My biggest issue is with the update situation. Each one runs Android 11, with security updates sorta laughable at this point. For example, the Titan Pocket is running the September 2022 security update. Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend the phones for those who value consistent platform and security updates above all else.

Since you’re considering it, I’d wait until the Jelly Star comes out next month. It’ll have Android 13 and better internals compared to the Jelly 2.
