Unihertz Titan 6GB+128GB, Rugged QWERTY Smartphone, Android 10 Unlocked Smart Phone, Black (Support T-Mobile & Verizon only)

Let me start by stating that no amount of reviews stating "this is a giant device" could prepare me for how large this thing really is. When I received the package I was shocked and simply couldn't stop laughing at the enormous brick of a phone that was inside. However, I don't find that to be a negative in the slightest. The large size makes it feel very sturdy and solid, makes the physical keypad extremely comfortable and easy to use, and the wide display makes reading text and working with documents a breeze. The keypad is great. The key layout does take a bit of getting used to, with shift and alt being above the keypad rather than below them. But once you get used to it, it's almost flawless. The keys are easy to press and it's comfortable to type on for long periods. The backlighting is a bit uneven on my device, but it doesn't bother me. The only real complaint I have is with the camera. I had assumed it would be the same module as in the Atom, which has a quite decent camera. However, I think the camera module used in the Titan is different. The camera software is definitely different and missing some features, such as slow-motion and panorama. It takes adequate photos outdoors, but relatively poor photos and videos indoors, and the autofocus is extremely finicky and will only stay locked on a target for a few seconds before returning to the center. Plus, it's mounted so that the device needs to be held sideways to capture in landscape orientation. Due to the device's large size, this is cumbersome and uncomfortable. The camera app does offer square capture modes by default, but those result in significant cropping of the image. Because of the poor experience using the Titan's camera, when I expect to take photos or videos, I generally have either my Atom or a standalone camera with me. I do not play mobile games but I would guess that the form factor would make that difficult, though emulators would probably work well due to the physical keypad. However, I think it's pretty clear that's not what this device is designed for. The battery life is incredible. I am a heavy user with several hours of screen time per day, plus not having fixed-line internet at home (rural area) means I rely on the mobile hotspot function nearly all the time. This phone will last 25-30 hours with the hotspot on, which is more than I've ever gotten on any device (I'm used to 5 or 6 hours in that use case.) It does not charge quickly, drawing a maximum of 7.5 W from a power supply, but the relatively slow rate at which that charges the approximately 22 Wh battery means I don't need to worry about excessive wear from heat. The time taken to charge is also offset by the very long battery life. As far as software updates are concerned, this device does appear to already be EOL, with the latest security patch being September 2020. This is my fourth Unihertz device (two Jelly Pros (one died an unfortunate death by being accidentally washed and dried - it powered up when plugged in, but didn't respond to touches or button presses) and one Atom have preceded this device,) and that appears to be par for the course with Unihertz devices - they historically have provided one major Android update, and then support for a few months after that, before moving on. It's not great, but not a big deal to me - however, it is something to keep in mind if you intend to purchase this device. The software is not perfect. As some others have pointed out, disabling App Blocker is a must. Otherwise the system kills background tasks almost immediately. I believe this is a Mediatek (SoC vendor) function rather than a Unihertz function, but I could be wrong. Regardless, you will absolutely want to disable App Blocker. Previous Unihertz devices included a function called DuraSpeed, which did the same thing. Also a must is enabling Rotation Control under Intelligent Assistance. The display is technically portrait, being 4 pixels taller than it is wide. This causes some apps (YouTube, for example) to want to rotate the screen sideways, making holding the device very awkward, as described above with the camera. Rotation Control allows you to override this, forcing apps to display in the correct orientation. Performance is good. As a purely anecdotal statement, the only time I've noticed any slowdowns or stuttering is when connecting or disconnecting Android Auto, but that seems to make any phone struggle a bit. Overall I'm extremely happy with my Titan. I had wanted one when it was launched but due to several factors going on for me at the time, I couldn't afford one, even at the reduced pre-launch price. I bought it initially just to collect it, but I almost immediately started using it as my primary phone. There are a few imperfections here and there, as mentioned above, but overall Unihertz produced an extremely good device.

In a sentence: This phone has a keyboard and a headphone jack, and doesn't spontaneously combust; 5 stars. It's 2021 which means the future has officially come and gone, leaving in its grisly wake those of us who remember the halcyon days of the late 00s and early 10s to cling to independent developers like driftwood in an endless sea of iClones. For my fellow futurenauts to whom genetics or years of piano playing gifted thumbs the size and shape of large grapes, it can be confusing why the industry declared the on-screen keyboard to be the pinnacle of human interfaces. What that trend meant for me was that even a basic text message required a great deal of pain and profanity, or constantly triple checking to make sure Swype didn't end another friendship with an unfortunate autocorrect. Enter the aptly named Titan, a chunky aluminum behemoth with keys large enough to accommodate any fingers. It's not perfect, but let's all chime in to the refrain of "If You're Buying A Keyboard Phone You Probably Don't Care (IYBAKPYPDC)" . It feels indestructible even without a case, though its angular frame is so easy to grab onto I am already far less likely to drop it compared to my previous phones. The only downside to its girth is that while I can type without looking at it, I can't do so one-handed because the far side of the phone is just out of reach. But, say it with me, IYBAKPYPDC. The battery life is amazing - about three to four days to a charge in the first few weeks, even on days that included long speakerphone calls. The nature of batteries means that will decrease over time, but the battery bragging is not exaggerated. It's a sad commentary that just having a keyboard and a headphone jack are the only criteria a phone needs to earn my five stars, but the hardware quality is still superb. The keyboard is comfortably soft and clicky, and the onscreen tabs for symbols don't bother me like I thought they would. My earbuds do produce a scratchy feedback when using the sound canceling feature; while audible to both me and my interlocutor, it is minor enough to still fit in the IYBAKPYPDC category. Running Android on a screen with this aspect ratio does feel bizarre in some cases, but all of my apps are functional and only a couple have some minor fiddly issues. It probably won't get along well with many mobile games, but IYBAKPYPDC. Is this phone perfect? Of course not. Is it a functional and relatively affordable device with the features I care about? Absolutely.

Dedicated Blackberry user here from the bold to Passport to Keyone, I just didnt want a "slab" phone and the Key2 prices are ridiculous for dated tech. so I stumbled on this whilst researching and as I have previously owned a Blackberry passport, it seemed like a good fit. This Phone fits squarely in my demographic, I dont need a super duper camera- I dont take selfies and usually take basic pics and ones for my business IG page. I dont play games or watch loads of YouTube videos or Movies. What i Do is message a lot, and bang out emails and am on a couple of message boards, love a keyboard, massive battery... this device is perfect. Its (for a phone) virtually indestructible, its waterproof- did i mention it has a keyboard? The price is way reasonable, (I paid $500 on Amazon for a BB passport a few years ago). The Battery is a monster, 6000mah, so for most people 2-3 days is not uncommon, I was at about 50% when i unboxed and after two hours of set-up and downloading apps and playing around i was at 30%? Ok, so i have only been using the phone a couple of days and love it already, I will come back if i have any glaring issues. So, this phone is not for the faint of heart this is a monster (size) for a phone and has some heft to it, im a big guy so after a BB Passport it feels familiar. my only niggles thus far, that it does not have a hard case holster option, as the unihertz pouch holster I bought is tricky because when you pull it out, you invariably press a side button whilst sliding it out two fingers........ I dont have a choice as I need a belt holster. Another thing is the square screen aspect ration can cause issues with apps, i have noticed this with Whatsapp, its minor. but so far so good and frighteningly great value for money Edit: ok, I dropped it, no biggie as it's super rugged except.... It fell on the side with the vol and power button onto a gravel driveway ..... it dented the silver bezel and now I have damaged the vol up/down button...it seems jammed and the slightest touch turns the volume down on media .... I tried rebooting it today ...wrong move.... it is stuck in a loop "no command" as the vol up down button seems damaged I can't stop it. I'm hoping a local repair shop can fix it ... I love the phone just a little disappointed that I damaged it from such a little fall..... Edit2 OK, local repair shop repaired it😁😁😁😁 they removed the side bezel and straightened it, the up/down switch is working smoothly and I'm back. edit3- Sept 09 2022 Been a few months now and i absolutely love the phone and at $349 is an absolute steal, if your like me and are familiar with a BB Passport. People often ask what is that and love playing around with the keyboard. so two minor gripes: typing all caps - seems glitchy as it will often predict weird stuff or double type? the other from the phone app, i would like to start typing on the keyboard and it automatically finds the contact, not so here you have to click into the "search contacts" field first. as a personal aside, (If there is an app for this someone point it to me) this is not Titan centric, but am asking anyway ... When dialing a contact that has several phone numbers it would be great if when you have called a number and get no answer that it has a pop-up that says "Would you like to try another number?" and shows you a drop down of that contacts other numbers? Thanks

It's hard to recommend a phone that the company themselves don't support. Instead of introducing new phones, support your existing ones Unihertz. It's a great phone with lots of potential, but Unihertz has abandoned this phone years ago. I came across some apps not supported due to Android operating system being too old and also some of the built-in software crashes (keyboard software) with annoying pop-up alerts. The camera quality less than good. The exposure is way to high and you have to lower it down just to get a decent photo like early old camera phones. Sometimes watching videos on YouTube stutter. Also, modern apps require you most of the time to run things in mini mode.

High hopes as a long-time crackberry addict but not a replacement for my current team of traditional blackberry 9900 bold and blackberry key2; what is the goal? Getting professional mobile communications done efficiently. The original Blackberry Bold 9900 has what no other phones on the market have today; a mouse (trackpad) and importantly an ergonomic physical keyboad, the quintessential tools of any work or home computer (can you imagine working on a desktop computer or laptop using only a virtual keyboard? The idea is might seem a little ridiculous to some people). Bottomline the combination of mouse & keyboard in 10-year old 9900s and messaging workflow is still absolutely unmatched, even in new android blackberries - the Titan gave me hope at first look but upon closer inspection I soon realized they avoided just enough likeness in keyboard layout, convenience key layout, trackbelt layout (and in turn sacrificing serious ergonomics) to avoid patent violations at every turn. The good - snappy, fast, lightweight android, was refreshing next to my key2, and with the native keyboard shortcuts, and decent native keyboard for a bit really made me think it could work, and perhaps for many people! Especially with its durability, screen size and being highly affordable. The bad (again am interested in power-using messaging with special attention to professional syntax, punctuation - all the important forms of writing - editing, revising, & proof-reading that use above and beyond keyboard tool usage): 1. Blackberry keyboard aftermarket - I thought installing the blackberry keyboard on this device would make it a smooth experience but found a few things once in place: A. The only option for the ctrl key (which allows you select all, copy, cute, & paste) has no other option than being the left-side convenience key, which is posted very high along the device, bottomline the simple and heavily repeitive task for any professional writer to manipulate text is very awkard (think of original blackberries using the simply alt+letter or alt+trackpad for these functions, and then weirdness of trying this on a key2 with the $ key on the other side of the keyboard, well on the Titan is it a full keyboard length away from the keyboard; it is like reaching for the power button for something you use slightly less often than basic puncuation. B. To access your symbol you still need the virtual keyboard, but the blackberry virtual keyboard has not been optmized for the Titan so it takes up 3/4 of the giant screen real estate, which then in turn interferes with your field input, pretty important for what is to be a input-savvy device. Alnternately the native keyboard has excellent optimization of the virtual keyboard for numbers and symbols beyond what is readily available on the physical keyboard, but in that case you sacrifice your functionalities of having select-all, copy, cut, & paste as the native keyboard does not offer these with any combination of shift, alt, or convenience button / crtl. C. Ergonomics :( -- It may be that I have used blackberry keyboards just so long but I believe it to me more than the combination access of both letters AND punctuation/symbols and text manipulation that make up writing, and much like the key2 was a hobbled version of the original blackberries, the titan is a hobbled version of the key2; an even further less ergonomic arrangement of the basic tools of writing and input. I was very ready to re-learn the entire system as long as all the tools were reasonably available but an overly stretched array can really break the train of thought. 2. Pinky complication - because the device is so big your left had has a tendency to have the pinky finger support the underside of the heavy device but for proper support it really does not stay under the device so much as popping out and actually interferes with typing along the lower row; it is really just is not ergonomically okay for sheer size. Fyi I have this same issue on my Bold 9900 and Key2 but there is a spacer at the bottom of the each of those that prevents this from being an issue. 3. Cannot import your own dictionary or word substitution (same for key2 - albeit you can import a custom word substitution on old Blackberries, very useful for work templates) 4. The fingerprint sensor (of course not a trackpad) - I knew this ahead of time when Unihertz was doing a kickstarter campaign but the center button that looks like a trackpad is simply a home button (I secretly hoped there would be an after-market Chinese kernal modification that allows it to be used as a trackpad [mouse] but this does not appear to be the case).

Just as the title states, this phone is a prime example of what most phones should have been today. The 4.6 inch display coupled with it's 1440p resolution provide an extremely crystal clear image of anything on screen. The battery life is unlike any other phone I have used in the past. I usually wake up and leave for work at 6am, and don't get home until 9pm or so. By the tine I got home, the battery was down to only 57%, and that is with extremely heavy use on my end. I can comfortably keep this phone away from the charger for 24 to 48 hours without an issue. Everything feature that this phone has works without a single issue. The fingerprint sensor is lightning fast, the keyboard provides an excellent amount of feedback, and the performance on a hardware level is what I can comfortably call unmatched for a midrange device, especially with the generous 6GB of RAM that the phone has. The fact that this phone also has expandable storage with the inclusion of a micro SD slot definitely helped me solidify the decision to make my purchase, especially since most phones are doing away with micro SD slots, and requiring you to purchase the more expensive models with higher memory. Additionally, being able to run Android versions 9, 10, and even 11 and 12 with some tweaking definitely ensures that this phone will be relevant and supported for years to come. While yes, the phone will without question not work with AT&T, there are far better providers out there who can provide better service at a fraction of the cost. Don't let one minor incompatibility deter you from buying this phone, it is 100% worth it, especially as someone who used Blackberry phones in both middle and high school. Long gone are the days of me carrying around a giant slab of fragile glass and plastic. The Unihertz Titan and The Unihertz Titan Pocket are direct examples of what phones should have been today if we had focused on keeping phones like Blackberry and the Sidekick in business. I will be purchasing another one for my stepfather as a father's day gift.

I am an iPhone user who was previously on Blackberry's in the early 2000's... who has desperately wanted a phone with a keyboard. When I heard the Blackberry's service would be no longer in service I decided to give up my search for a Key1 or Key2 and switched over to thinking about the Titan by Unihertz. Many of the reviews that I've found online are a bit older or reviewed by people really into tech stuff versus actually wanting to use the phone. This is why I wanted to give my review after having the phone for a few days already. I am into tech and phones, but I don't necessarily care too much about specs. Just a normal person who wanted a keyboard. If you are like me, then friends you are in store for a really GOOD PHONE! I am absolutely in love with this thing. It's a bit heavy, which is nice so that it can last longer and your screen won't crack so easily like an iPhone or Android that is just pure glass. The video, image, and sound quality when using social media and apps are perfect! And of course, the real reason that you are here... the keyboard! It's awesome. It took me no time to get tapping away on it and absolutely love how it feels on the fingers. The only true downside that I've noticed on this phone is the camera. Going from the really great quality on my iPhone (which I'm still using as my business phone) to using this, well there's an obvious flaw in this camera feature. But I didn't buy this phone for that, so if you are wanting this phone for the keyboard and a great camera... then this is probably not the phone for you. But if you're like me and just wanted to type messages, emails, tweet, and make calls then this is a great option. If you're curious about the size, it's approximately the same size as an iPhone 11 in length and about 3 inches wider in width. The screen size is a square screen, but it is very large which makes it very nice for scrolling through social media and still being able to enjoy the rectangle images of today. Also wanted to mention that this phone is out of stock on the Unihertz website but you can purchase it on Amazon still and the phone is perfectly brand new. Posting a full unboxing and review as proof on my youtube channel username: lacomidadejeremie Overall, all of the features work great, it has the most updated Android feature and has the keyboard we've all been dreaming of! If you're looking for THAT phone in 2022 to fill your Blackberry or keyboard void then this is it!!

Upon first receiving the titan I could've easily given 5 stars. The phone is overall badass! its built tough, battery lasts forever, keyboard is nice....but heres where this issues began. When you attempt to activate service on this phone it will come up as a 3g phone (even though the specs say 4g compatible) AT&T said it wasn't compatible with their network at all. If you email unihertz with the issue they will send you steps to update, and change the phones IMEI number. They send you a file and tell you the phone should be able to download it, but it can't, even with several tries because the file is too large. My solution to that was downloading it to a laptop first. I followed the instructions, changed the IMEI, and got to the end of the process where the last thing that should happen is the phone turns off and restarts itself....it will not turn back on (its been 3 days) the phone has been completely off since the update and I have tried troubleshooting, holding power button for 15+ seconds, leaving phone on charger. I have not heard back from unihertz about the issue so I am returning the phone before its too late. I realize that other people could've had a much smoother process with this phone, I am aware there are probably cases of successful IMEI number updates...this is just my experience. I was beyond excited for this phone, I waited 3 weeks for its arrival, so when I learned that I cannot get service on it I was so defeated (I actually cried 😭) but then found online that you could contact costumer service to fix the issue, but when I followed the steps to fix it it shut down and will not turn back on. So overall this phone has wasted a ton of my time and been a huge disappointment. My advice is don't waste your time and money unless you are severely bored, in that case good luck

Es un excelente celular. Yo quería un celular con teclado qwerty porque ya estoy harto de que todos los celulares son iguales. Así que opté por este modelo y me encantó. Es un celular grande sin embargo cabe muy bien en las bolsas del pantalón y también pesa un poco más que todos los teléfonos pero se siente que tienes un dispositivo de excelente calidad de ensamblado ósea sería una calidad premium la verdad felicidades a esta marca. Trae android 10 pero a mi eso no me preocupa que no traiga el más reciente. El teléfono funciona súper fluido en todas las apps y cambiar de apps también lo hace súper fluido se ve que los 6 gb de memoria RAM hacen súper bien su trabajo. Las cámaras son normales nada especial pero toma buenas fotos, pero si quieres una súper cámara mejor compren un s24 de samsung o equivalente. Este celular creo va ser un éxito para un nicho muy específico que busque un celular como blackberry. Yo estoy más que feliz teclear es una delcia con este teclado ya tecleo hasta sin ver el teclado así como lo llegue hacer con mi blackberry. El teclado funciona también como mouse para hacer scroll en las pantallas ya sea you tube , insta, facebook, whats, telegram chrome o lo que se te antoje y también para macerate por las pantallas del teléfono para escoger apps. La batería es un MONSTRUO hasta ahorita lo más que le he sacado son 7 días con uso normal Yo creo que con uso muuuuy intenso te dará 2 días. Pero con un uso mínimo yo creo te dará los 10 días. Ósea que no estés metido todo el tiempo en redes sociales y solo mandar mensajes por whats o telegram o la app que uses para comunicarte. Me encanta como se siente en mi mano. Hace mucho no tenía ese sentimiento de tener algo bien hecho y de excelente calidad y robusto y resistente. Yo estoy encantado con este equipo la verdad es una belleza. Si lo recomiendo. Lo que sí es que lo necesitas tomar con la dos manos para poder escribir, pero eso para mí no es ningún tema ya que así escribo normalmente. A dos manos, pero si quieres escribir a una mano si va estar muy difícil a menos que tengas manos muy grandes. La pantalla está muy bien tiene muy bien brillo aún bajo el sol. Otro detalle que me encantó es que al usarlo no se calienta como por ejemplo mi iPhone 13 Tiene reconocimiento to facial y con huella dactilar. Y trae jack 3.5 para audífonos así como también puedes conectarlos por bluetooth. Trae NFC y todas las conexiones necesarias. El wifi a mi me ha funcionado de maravilla no se desconecta y es rápido y sin interrupciones, comento esto porque leí una reseña de que la conexión a wifi no era buena. Pero nada que ver la calidad de las antenas son excelentes no he tenido ningún problema de conexión de nada. Tanto con con datos móviles como wifi. La verdad estoy más que contento con este celular. Es más si sacaran una nueva versión de este celular lo compraría. Y lo mejor es el precio. Excelente precio.

J'ai pris ce téléphone en remplacement d'un blackberry passport et c'est pas mal. L'OS est moins bien foutue, mais le clavier fonctionne bien, il est très solide, la batterie tient bien.

I cannot bear touchscreen-typing. Screens are for displaying, keyboards are for typing! The Unihertz Titan seems to be the only QWERTY smartphone option, other than Blackberry, left in the whole world. How did it come to this? Was it a fashion trend? Cost-cutting? Does everyone really love the lifeless feel of a cold flat sheet of glass on their fingertips? Whatever the reason, the Titan came along and saved us. We are the tiny minority who dare to live in the past, who remember better times when the satisfying click and well-formed shapes of real keys defined our communications experience. The Titan has a lovely keyboard, an impressively crisp square screen (on which you can still tap and slide around all those touch-screen apps) and an immense battery that lasts me a week. Yes, that's right, I charge the phone once a week and it's still on 30% even then! It works well too, and you can get away with most apps on the square screen. Just a few are designed for sole use on the those tall, narrow screens that everyone else seems to love. It's a big, heavy phone. Beautifully rugged-looking. People are constantly asking me what it is and where they can get one from. This is a great phone. Dare to be different!

Un grande telefono, Devo dire che è impressionante questo telefono fa la differenza, da vero nostalgico della tastiera ,si..è pesante abbastanza per qualcuno e ingombrante, però signori.. le descrizioni ci sono leggete ma è solo da provare! e averlo sotto mano credetemi è una forza, ottimo prodotto robustezza e la tastiera fisica un lusso, questo è uno dei telefoni rugged, elegante di nicchia che ho mai avuto e consiglio a tutti di acquistarlo perche merita molto con le sue 8 gb di ram ,favoloso ...si aggiorna benissimo e reattivo anche con il touch screen ottimo suono peccato solo per una cassa ma poco male si sente comunque benissimo bellissima la retro illuminazione della tastiera ,la fotocamera: le foto non sono il top ma io per lavoro o il mio interesse non è neanche tutto questo male come si pensa o dicono. Notifiche delle app funzionanti con luce di ricezione lampeggiante. un vero e propio palmare. Bellissimo

Ok. We know, that BlackBerry phones dont make new products. For this we are looking for new alternative like that. I start with positive feedback. - massive long life battery - big buttons - big screen - better fingerprit sensor than on all Blackberry devices - the phone is resistant to falls, water, dust etc... Now look on negative feedback: - the phone is really big heavy brick (looks like they try make copy of BlackBerry Passport, but this is step out) - very bad camera - on back side can you see two holes for stereo reproductors, but sound goes out only from left hole - poor quality microphones - 14nm old technology and I think that ma old BB KEY2 is faster than this device - slow bluetooth transfer - wifi is little weak (sometimes you lost signal) - charging battery is very long time for today - the phone is very wide and is hard to write on - official keyboard software "KIKA" is VERY VERY BAD !!! If you want using normally your keyboard, you must uninstall that and download BlackBerry Keyboard.
