Jelly is a tiny Android Nougat smartphone with a 2.45' display

This may just be Derek Zoolander's next smartphone. The Jelly Android smartphone is a Kickstarter project for a wee 2.45-inch Android smartphone that claims to be the smallest 4G smartphone. Designed as a second phone, traveller's smartphone (with Dual-SIM capability) and novelty, the project comes in two versions (one with larger 2GB of RAM and 16GB of Storage), three colours and expects to ship by August.
