Unihertz Jelly Star Gets Android 16: New Features and Improvements
The Unihertz Jelly Star may be one of the world's smallest smartphones, but it's not being left behind when it comes to software.
Unihertz has released a fresh Android 16 update for the Jelly Star, bringing a range of new features, security improvements and system enhancements to the compact smartphone.
Whether you use your Jelly Star as your everyday pocket phone, a secondary device or simply prefer a smaller smartphone, this update gives the device some useful new capabilities.
What's New in Android 16 for the Jelly Star?
🤖 Android 16
The biggest addition is, of course, the move to Android 16, bringing the Jelly Star up to date with the latest Android experience available for the device.
🛡️ Latest Security Patch
The update also includes a newer security patch, helping keep your device better protected against potential security vulnerabilities.
Keeping your phone's software updated is particularly important for users who rely on their device for communication, banking, work and everyday tasks.
👥 App Cloning
Need two accounts for the same application?
The new App Cloning feature allows you to create a separate instance of supported applications, making it easier to manage personal and work accounts from one device.
⚡ More Custom Shortcuts
Android 16 also brings additional custom shortcut options, giving Jelly Star users more flexibility when setting up how they interact with their device.
For a compact smartphone where quick access can make a big difference, these shortcuts can be particularly useful.
🔍 AI Circle Search
The update introduces AI Circle Search, providing a convenient way to search for information directly from content displayed on your screen.
It's another example of how modern AI-powered features are making their way into increasingly compact devices.
👆 Gesture Volume Control
The Jelly Star also gains gesture-based volume control, giving users another convenient way to adjust their device's volume.
🎙️ New Recorder
The updated software includes a new Recorder application, providing an improved way to capture voice recordings and other audio.
🧰 System Manager
A new System Manager provides additional tools for managing and monitoring aspects of the device, giving users greater control over their Jelly Star.
A Small Phone That Keeps Getting Better
The Jelly Star has always stood out because of its size. Instead of competing with increasingly large smartphones, it takes a completely different approach.
It's compact enough to fit comfortably into a pocket while still providing the essential smartphone experience.
With the Android 16 update, Unihertz is continuing to improve the software experience rather than leaving existing Jelly Star users behind.
