I tested a BlackBerry-style Android phone with a keyboard, and it's weirdly practical in 2026

A hands-on review of the Unihertz Titan 2 Elite highlighting its compact form factor and four-row physical keyboard, MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, 12GB RAM/256GB storage, 4050mAh silicon-carbon battery with 33W charging, and a near-stock Android experience with promised updates through Android 20 and security fixes until 2031; the reviewer praises keyboard customization and battery life while noting mediocre cameras, readability issues with some key colors, and lack of water resistance, and recommends the phone for communication-focused users with Kickstarter pricing information included.
