Unihertz Atom L 6GB+128GB, Rugged Unlocked Smartphone Android 11 4300mAh Battery 48 MP Camera (Support T-Mobile & Verizon only)

Got my Atom L today, executed Plan "A" and tried my Straight Talk SIM right after phone setup, even though my Straight Talk phone is on the Verizon network it would not work. Straight Talk customer service ran the imei and said it was incompatible. Plan "B"- walked into my local Verizon store and was told as of just a month ago Verizon no longer supported a lot of non-Verizon phones, the tech ran the imei and sure enough the Atom L was not usable on the Verizon network (YMMV, this was ONE tech at ONE Verizon store, but he was the manager so he's probably right, do your homework first) Plan "C" - T-Mobile was right next to Verizon, 5 minutes after walking into T-Mobile my Atom L made a test call. T-Mobile was a little more costly than Straight talk but it's a no cancellation fee / cancel any time contract with unlimited everything so I gave them a try. So .. The phone feels stout and the OS is a little peculiar for me just switching from my beloved Samsung Luna with Android 6, but it seems intuitive and I feel it will grow on me quickly. The phone has a TON of strange features and a "Toolbox" for doing all sorts of measurements and picture leveling and stuff. My favorite feature so far is the re-implementation of the notification LED, a feature I have missed for years. It's just the tiniest red LED on the upper left that blinks every few seconds but I wouldn't even be able to guess how many times I've missed out on stuff over the years because I didn't see a text or missed call. The phone isn't truly small, it's not large either but it's just awkwardly small enough not to feel right on my face whilst talking, and it's twice as thick as a common smart phone. Over all I'm happy with this phone on my first day of life with it, if things change I'll update my review but for now I'm really happy to have a phone that can do modern apps that isn't more of a tablet than a phone. Edit: Been well over a month now, life with the Atom L is good, the keyboard is a little easy to bumble the wrong key with due to it's size and there's literally 1, yes 1 option for a phone case (which I did purchase). Not the phone's fault but an Android thing is that I can no longer open a lot of pictures from merchant sites in another tab in FF to zoom in on them. I guess my old phone went under the radar with the different merchant sites because it was so outdated. Aside from those flaws which are really not flaws I have no regrets. If a phone case manufacturer reads this, please for the love of God make a case that has a stylus holster for the Atom phones!

I like the phone size. Battery life is good for smart phone. I have always bought rugged phones because of my work environment. The last cat phone I had was indestructible. I have never broken a screen ever. I wouldn’t consider this a rugged phone at all. I dropped it when getting out of the car only a 1 foot drop and chipped, the side of the screen. If the bezels were higher, they would protect the screen, but the glass sticks out and it’s easily broken after that it fell off my nightstand about 2 feet onto a wood floor and broke the screen. I have seen regular phones that were more rugged and could take a drop without breaking , the Bluetooth is also a problem drops in and out no matter which car I have it hooked to. It only drops out on phone calls works fine when listening to music or anything else. If they fix these two problems, it would be a great phone. Update May 1, 2025. I have tried to order a new screen for this phone it’s only available through the manufacturer. They have been out of stock for months and finally sent one that was missing the power and volume buttons. They asked if it would be possible I could you reuse the old ones. I said I don’t know but I’ll try. They finally shipped the new part and it was missing the speaker and microphone grill as well. I’ve asked around and cannot find any cell repair shop that will touch these phones. It’s pretty much a waste of money trying to do anything to these phones when they break. unless they’re under warranty just throw them away. Unihertz has no interest in repairing these phones off of warranty. Even if you pay this phone is only two years old and really should have an update as android 11 is not running some of the new apps. So far there has been no updates available and I don’t believe that they will ever offer any. I spent a lot of time emailing them trying to get a part for this phone to be sent one that is not complete and unusable. Every time I ask for a refund for it or if I can send it back they told us me I could buy a new phone, after I pay for them, they will give me some money back a discount of some sort. I don’t know if I trust them.

Comprei este telefone pela resistência e durabilidade e até agora não podia estar mais satisfeito. O telefone já caiu inumeras vezes e parece que acabou de sair da caixa. Não sou muito exigente a nível técnico, mas parece-me ser bastante rápido e com um uso médio/alto, a bateria dura dois dias. A camera é bastante razoável. Recomendo!

Excellent compromis taille d'écran/taille d'appareil, excellente prise en main, excellent service de la part d'Unihertz, excellent son, caméra très convenable, batterie suffisante, fonctionnalités intéressantes. Si vous aimez les smartphones grand format, fins et légers, celui-là n'est clairement pas fait pour vous, si vous recherchez un smartphone compact, robuste avec une excellente finition celui-là est parfait ! Le poids et les dimensions sont clairement indiqués dans la présentation de l'appareil donc pas de surprise il suffit de lire le descriptif !

キッズ携帯では機能不足、最近のスマホは子供には大き過ぎ、4インチで耐衝撃、防水とは子供用には最適でした。画面を破損させましたが、日本国内での修理サポートがあって修理してもらえました。 自分用もUnihertzに変えようかと思っています。

Finally got a smartphone as the 3g network where I live will be turned off before long, also because modern life is at the point where it's assumed you own one of the infernal contraptions now (QR code scanning etc). Picked this one as; (i) it's not too big, you can hold and operate it with one hand. (ii) Battery lasts a long time (iii) It's rugged enough for the casually clumsy (me) I'm impressed. I've tried a few before and they have always hit the wall at high speed during the first week or two of use. This one has done almost nothing that annoyed/frustrated me - a fact I am amazed about. Texting is not that difficult, it works well given the size of the screen, besides which you can always just talk the text message - and it will type it for you. It's a bit heavy (I assume due to the big battery and rugged casing), but I don't really mind as I'm not a millennial phone zombie. Therefore the phone is not permanently glued to my hand while I update the endless report that is faceache or post pics of my dinner on instafool. The weight is therefore immaterial. Looks and feels good build quality (if that matters). Very impressed with the battery life. I have been letting it drain entirely between 1st and every subsequent charge as I think that may help battery life (?), anyway.. its a good 4 days between charges. Only thing I haven't sorted yet is how to de-program the red button on the side. That button is currently the torch - I want it to do nothing. I guess I'll figure that out sometime. It probably helps that I have had an android tablet for the last two years to get used to the way these things behave. No doubt it suits lots of different parts of the smart phone market - the part it's suiting in this instance is for someone who only adopted a smartphone reluctantly and out of necessity. Oh yes - I very much like having Audible on it - now I can have a book read to me while out walking. (it has a 3.5mm phone jack). Speakers are very powerful when listening around the house. Overall very happy and impressed with the phone (and astonished to be writing that about any smartphone) Ermmm... That's it.

Cercavo un telefono (android) piccolo e lo trovai e, per il momento (dovessi cambiare idea nei prossimi mesi aggiorno la recensione), lo trovo veramente ottimo. Odio i padelloni, se devo guardare un film o qualsiasi cosa richieda tanto schermo mi porto un tablet o uso il pc. Mi serve un telefono che telefoni, abbia un ottimo GPS (e bussola etc), non mi infastidisca quando lo porto a camminare in montagna e mi possa, quindi, stare in tasca senza problemi. Questo, oltre a tutte le caratteristiche sopra elencate, è pure "resistente" e IP68 (ovviamente, non ho ancora provato ne a farlo cadere ne a immergerlo, ma sono disposto a crederci). Inizialmente pensavo al Jelly 2, ancora più piccolo, ma sono felice di aver speso qualche decina di Eur in più. riassumendo: 1. sensazioni: ero un poco preoccupato per lo spessore, invece, per quanto riguarda le tasche e la sensazione tenendolo in mano, nessun problema, anzi, decisamente piacevole: non da l'impressione di qualcosa che si potrebbe rompere se lo stringi troppo, o se lo metti nella tasca posteriore dei pantaloni e ti ci siedi sopra. Mi ricorda, come sensazione, i vecchi Nokia 3310 indistruttibili. 2. schermo: piccolo, ma comunque uso occhiali da lettura 1,5 anche per il precedente telefono (non enorme, ma più grande) e anche per leggere lo schermo del PC. Non mi da alcun problema (per me che uso occhiali). Secondo me chi ha una normale vista da vicino non avrà nessun problema. Io uso lo swipe per scrivere e non ho alcun problema, il touch screen mi pare molto preciso. 3. velocità: rispetto al mio precedente telefono è un fulmine (ma il precedente era un 16Gb/2Gb di cui non faccio nome). Quindi molto soddisfatto, ma forse solo perché questo è un 128Gb/6Gb. 4. foto: non uso molto il telefono per fare foto, ma mi sembrano buone. 48Mpix in effetti non sono pochi. 5. tasto configurabile: molto comodo per fare foto al volo o per accendere la torcia senza doverci pensare troppo. 6. sensore impronta (questo per me è fondamentale). Il telefono precedente aveva il sensore sul retro ( e quindi viene naturale configurare indice e medio delle due mani). Questo è frontale e viene naturale configurare i due pollici e, per me, l'indice destro. Funziona ottimamente. 7. Wifi. Ho avuto qualche problema di instabilità con il router wireless di casa (wind 3), dopo aver configurato IP fisso (come consigliato) nessun problema. 8. rapporto qualità prezzo: per me ottima, costa più di quanto sono abituato a spendere per uno strumento che, IMHO, non dovrebbe costare più di tanto, ma molto meno di oggetti magari più "trendy" ma tecnicamente equivalenti. 9. ha anche la radio FM che per alcuni è molto comoda e che stanno eliminando dalla maggior parte degli altri telefoni Per il momento nulla altro da aggiungere. Dovessi cambiare idea nei prossimi mesi aggiorno.
