THANK YOU VERY MUCH preach for doing this on all our behalf. I'm really upset the security patch on mine is overt a year old. So will not be using it. This was their flagship less than a year ago. Never mind no Android 14. What you are doing for them is constructive professional consultancy services & feedback which would cost them a lot to commission. They should appreciate you like pure gold. Thanks again bro. 👍
@@TheTechPreacher thanks for your good work. Also they have 2 different update screens in SETTINGS. One update sub-section is inside last section called ABOUT. Then before that inside section called SYSTEM, the update subsection is completely different interface! Not clear if they're the same or OS vs patches/fixes ! Very haphazard cavalier attitude towards updates, which will hurt their reputation & sales unless they start listening to your wise words. ❤️🔥

I flashed a stock android 14 GSI onto my Jelly 2, rooted, installed a gcam port, remapped programmable key using the "button mapper" app, and now I'm happily using my phone with literally zero issues :) My philosophy: if Unihertz can do it but won't, then I can do it and will.
I really want to buy one, especially because of the small screen to help me reduce screen runtime. But man I'm not buying one of these with the lack of updates, they should release updates instead of new devices.
Would buy from this company instantly, right now, if they promised several years of minimal/the most essential bug fixes and security updates. Awesome product, but the lack of updates is strange and a dealbreaker.
Thanks for this video. I've been looking at getting a Unihertz phone as I don't like the massive phones available these days. But if they aren't giving any android updates I'm going to look elsewhere. I know they aren't top dollar phones, but at £180 in the UK it's not pocket change to me.
i want to switch to a small phone but the main things i'm concerned about are video calls and QR code e-tickets. worried if the screen is too small to do those things...
I am so glad I found this channel, thank you. I would love to get the Jelly Star, but am holding back for the very update reason. Every time I try to speak to a real human with Unihertz, the Away message pops up. I am also wondering if the will bring out a new phone around August that would support Android 14. Yet, they will be advertising their Jelly Max through KickStart I think July 16. So does that mean they will be dropping the jelly Star? I don't think the Max will be the small size of the Star, and that is what I am going after.
Yeah I believe the jelly max was be thick and heavy unfortunately that's not a jelly. Hopefully they can get updates to the current jelly star that would be great
You are absolutely correct! If they expect people to even consider their phones against the mainstream ones. I'm really considering the Pro 3 but if be coming from the S23 Ultra. Not only the updates but the cameras have got to step up too. Then I wouldn't even consider the S25 that is coming out in a few months. Thanks again for the video.
@@shanelowe4233 No disrespect intended at all. The fact is that the gesture he gives isn't the one for peace, it simply isn't. You don't have to take my word for it, you can literally just google peace hand gesture and see for yourself.
@voteDC well I've been using the peace sign on my videos for 8 years no one ever said anything about it. I have over 2500 uploads using the peach sign and I'm never going to stop
Have a Jelly| 2 and a Jelly star, love the phones but you are spot on regarding support and updates. there is none to be find. I alos have a issues with NFC use in Norway. The Jelly 2 works, tho unstable. The Jelly Star NFC do not work in Norway. Tried 2 phone of both Jelly 2 and Jelly Star. (Jelly 2E do not have NFC) With NFC working, I would use the Star alot, because i hate using my S24 ultra outside the house due to its size and wight.
Thanks for the reviews man. I just Got the TANK 3 PRO and there is an ANDROID 14 UPDATE, could you make a review of that version? Thanks (I'm scared of updating without a review)
Great video, Eric. I'm just waiting for the july update for my s24 plus. I appreciate you so much & I've learned so much from you. If you ever want to make content with me, feel free to reach out to me.
I've had my Jelly Star from September 2023 (so nearly a year) and I've been really happy with it. As you say, the hardware itself is great but I am not sure if I will ever buy another Unihertz device as the software support is pretty poor. I think there were around 4 firmware updates or so since its release but zero security updates. To be honest, I am not asking for new versions of Android but if they would at least commit to three years of security updates I'd be happy. I really like the look of the new Jelly Max but as it has no software updates I am not going to buy it.
Legislation within Europe is becoming increasingly strict and I hope that a law will be introduced that requires manufacturers to support their devices for at least x years. Partly to prevent people from unnecessarily purchasing new devices, which will deplete the earth even more. I'm not a climate person, but the fact that the Star is already no longer getting updates and it doesn't seem like it's going to get any better is not a good thing.
Yeah at least security patches. I can understand companies not wanting to do OS updates on a $200 phone or whatever but there should be a minimum of like 4 years of security patches. The quarterly probably even bi-annual would be better than nothing just to keep these things out of landfills
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S10 just now with a cracked screen on Android 12, securirt March 2023. These phones are temping but lack of support is disappointing. They have well priced devices for the spec and features
Hey good news. The android 14 for tank 3 pro is out. I'm now downloading it. I bout fainted when I saw it lol. Props to unihertz for sticking to their words.
@@TheTechPreacher well it was green on the notifications pane. Now confused. It said updated to android 14. I clicked it. Started downloading then nothing happened. Cant find it anywhere. Pissed I know I saw it. Now still showing android 13. Look in ur notifications and my advice. Don't get off that page. Keep screen on til downloaded and c what happens. Cause now I don't have it.
I do c a system file on my phone using my file explorer app from yesterday in downloads. Maybe that's the android 14 file. Idk but I can't do anything with it.
Nevermind. I found it. It's not under the regular systems update section. It's under about phone and system update which is weird. But its there. I think they had no plans on updating these phones but added a way to do it this way probably after u calling them out on not updating their phones lol. If so way to go
I just bought the Jelly Star this morning to replace my Jelly 2. I will say that I got an Android OS update (from 10 to 11) on my Jelly 2 back when I first bought it.
I don't have any problem with the Android version though. As long as my phone still is running all the apps I am using. Beside, in some rare cases, update may cause system crash, frozen issue
I like my tank 2 but I would not buy another unihertz phone, because they offer no support what so ever for the money you pay. Hell to the naw naw naw!!!
This phone should probably be 4 inch screen the new jelly star max 5 inches is making it a phablet again which is the reason we all switched to smaller phones I was tired of my gigantic 6.8" screen phone and not being to fit it in pockets or pouches.
@@TheTechPreacher if they want to boost their sales, and outsell everyone they have to do it, because that's what's holding them back, well that and the lack of 3rd party case support!
yeah i don't even care that much about updates and even i am concerned. i just want security updates and bug fixes. i don't really care about anything else.
Can someone please help me? I'm not tech savvy. If I buy this phone will it last me 2years? I want to use it to make calls, texts and what's app. Thanks
Yeah I do understand this is why I will keep talking about it until they fix this issue. Unihertz watch all my videos and I'm sure they watch this one hopefully this video will change them
my s21 phone cant record phone calls nor is it great at organizing videos. as a person who needs to gather evidence alot i need to resort to external device for that. thats where the tank pro 3 comes into play. long battery big storage is all pluses. i dont need software updates, its an alternate ultility that my s21 lacks. together im stronger with both. also too much support and intrusion cam make devices unusable. i actually had to give away my apple devices because of this. also had to give away my instago3 camera because they require me to use theur website and it never works so the device though appears to gave good support this is actually somethings that restricts my ability to use the devices. so lack of updates is freer and nicer for me. its also why i loved my lg g4 phone it was free from the clutches of overcontrol.

@liamyt708 wow did you rooted your device?? Did you unlocked the bootloader???
@@TheTechPreacher I have the phone about 4 month ago I do anything
Unihertz's definition of support is that if you want the new android version you buy the new android device lol
Yeah looks like it lol
I was thinking this to. They wild for this 😒😅
I'm so sad
This is a big LOL

Does it have voice texting?
Sure it does

maybe this is why that new jelly max is gonna be kinda expensive. maybe they use that money for software updates.
Yeah probably
