Read Max Gadget Corner writer Dan Nosowitz has a very funny review of the Unihertz Jelly 2, a very very tiny crowdfunded smartphone that he dubs “the best phone for nobody”:
This phone is shockingly non-shitty. It is clear when using this phone that Unihertz is a very, very powerful company, filled with engineers with powerful brains; I don’t know if Apple or Samsung or Google could have made this thing. What it also means is that Unihertz is absolutely capable of making an extremely good normal phone, and that they have chosen instead to make Stupid Phone. I admire this.
I do, however, have misfortune of reporting: I am nobody! I backed the Jelly 2 Kickstarter out of curiosity and now use the phone regularly while running, because it’s phone-y enough to sync my Spotify playlists and small enough to not be obtrusive. Also, it comes with a wrist lanyard. Lanyards are cool.
