Customer Reviews
Finally a properly sized phone. I'm loving mine, really surprised at the performance.
I have had the phone for just under a month, compared to my S24 which Samsung call a small phone. The Jelly Max weight feel about the same and the screen is actually small. For my needs a screen much smaller would be too small. Bluetooth works great, GPS has been flawless, the camera is perfect for my needs. Finger print reader works great, but it does not like the smallest amount of moisture. Battery kife could be better but it gets me through 2 days. For what I paid for the phone it was a fair exchange, I did not expect a 1000 dollar phone to arrive in the box. If you want a smaller phone and do not want to have to get a older iPhone or Android phone this will be a good choice.
A few things I had issue with:
1. Verizon told me that it would not work on their network, it does. What I had to do was get both of my e-sims converted to physical sims and activate them on a approved Verizon phone. Then they worked perfect.
2. At first MMS was not working I tried resetting the network and a few other things. What turned out to be the issue was that 2G was toggled on, as soon as I toggled it off in advanced settings on both SIM cards MMS has worked perfectly since.
3. Occasionally the digitizer gets out of sync, I just reboot the phone and everything is fine.
As someone who doesn't demand bleeding-edge tech but just wants something that isn't sized halfway to a tablet, I'm very happy after a month with mine. I upgraded from the last Android phone that gave me something I could hold in my hand/pocket (Xperia XZ1C) and while I'm sure lots of parts of the Jelly Max aren't the latest tech, almost everything that matters is better than that previous phone, so it was a joy to find this just as the old Xperia was becoming obsolete.
Weight isn't much more than your average gangly giant phone, and the thickness looks weird at first but I got used to it quickly and now I find myself wanting to show off the oddness of it to friends.
Post-update the camera seems fine, but I'm not a social media user any more so I can't tell you whether the pictures look fancy enough to get you thousands of followers or whatever!
Tip: if you find the default case too slippy, there's a different one that comes with the bike/armband mount that feels more grippy to me, albeit with another little bit of thickness added and maybe less cushioning?
Actual negatives: the main step down for me is a lack of waterproof rating, but I can't say yet how problematic that is in practice for regular use until if and when I dare to get it a bit more rained-on. TBD on other aspects of its durability too including drops, the security upgrade situation, and whether I'm going to need to worry about the country of origin some day.
I don't tend to write reviews, but I'm keen enough on this thing so far to put fingers to keyboard to try and encourage more people to check it out!
