Unihertz, the company known for its pocket-sized smartphones, has teased a new addition to the Jelly series – the Jelly Max. This upcoming phone hints at being the world’s smallest 5G smartphone, packing next-generation connectivity into a body that might surprise you.
Unihertz Teases Its First 5G Jelly Phone
While official details are still under wraps, Unihertz has released teasers that give us a glimpse of what to expect. The Jelly Max appears to sport a modern punch-hole display with the camera positioned discreetly in the top left corner. This design choice often indicates the presence of an in-display fingerprint sensor, hinting at a potentially sleek OLED screen.
The size remains a delightful mystery. Based on comparisons with a standard keyboard layout in the teasers, estimates suggest a screen diagonal hovering between 4 and 5 inches. This would make the Jelly Max a noticeable jump from the current champion, the Unihertz Jelly Star. The Jelly Star boasts the title of the smallest Android 13 phone with its 3-inch display.
Another exciting takeaway from the teasers is the confirmation that the Jelly Max abandons the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset found in the Jelly Star. This suggests a more powerful processor under the hood, one capable of handling the demands of 5G connectivity.
As of now, the Jelly Max hasn’t secured crucial certifications like 3C certification in China, or approval from the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (CMIIT). These certifications are essential for a phone to be legally sold in certain markets.
This lack of certification indicates that the Jelly Max is likely in the early stages of development. While Unihertz is known for its innovative and niche products, it might be some time before the Jelly Max hits the shelves.
