It's great. I keep it in my fanny pack.
Edit: it's a uniherz jelly star (green)

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I fuckin LOVE the Jelly Star! I use it as my music player. Expandable memory, headphone jack, runs BlackPlayer and Podcast Addict. Don't need it to do anything else in the world. Wonderful device.
How's the sound? The 4g version is $99, that's cheaper than replacing the battery in my iPod classic but those things have really good sound chips
I rip CDs to 320 kbps mp3s, and my ear is good enough to say that it sounds good compared to older, lower-quality mp3s that I've still got rattling around in my collection. I have no complaints, but I bow to the serious audiophiles who know their hardware better than me.
are the jelly phones good again? I owned a unihertz jelly as my main phone for years but I had to replace it twice from it bricking, and when I bought new ones they almost didn't let me buy it, I had to check all these boxes that I understood their phones are not typical, etc. - seems like quality had suffered immensely, especially around the pandemic ... so maybe the quality is improving?
I use mine virtually every single day, albeit for playing music and podcasts and a little bit of web browsing and not much else. If the camera were better it would have become my primary phone.
Just needs a magnetic ink display and it'd be perfect.
