Titan 6GB+128GB, Rugged QWERTY Smartphone, Android 10 Unlocked Smart Phone, Black (NO charger)

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!

With two slots for sims I carry only one phone for work and personal use. Both sim works perfectly in sync and with options to which one do you prefer to use. The phone is very sturdy and has survived falls and underwater mistreatment. The Screen is big enough to read and see documents. The software is not perfect but is good enough to support all the apps that are based in widescreen. This phone is perfect for those who works on the go and need quick access to work related actions. This phone is not designed for media and gamers fans, some games are not totally adapted due to the square screen size. Camera is ok, I am not looking for pictures to show in a photo gallery but the resolution is good enough to show in most social media apps (which will reduce the resolution anyway). Keyboard makes it quicker and easy to type, avoiding typos mistake which you have with the screen keyboards, therefore, less embarrassing moments and better communication with co-workers. Battery last long enough and I am happy with the capacity. Sound is loud enough as it has space for bigger speaker in comparison to other more slim smartphones. Weight can be an issue because is a big phone, but for anything else is a sturdy, reliable and efficient phone, that once you know how it works with all the caveats, it will not disappoint you. Important is, because it is a different phone, you have to give time to understand it. Thank you.

Rugged, yes, large, yes. Easy to use, no and many dissappointing and annoying features that make me wish for my old blackberry back. Having to hold down both alt and number keys down at same time is deeply annoying, so is the screen lock that engages whenever someone calls or i make a call, makes it near impossible to hang up so all my voicemails tend to go on for about 2 minites and end with me just swearing at the phone. not great for business. Battery life aint all that either, it lasts a day of heavy use, no more. massively dissapointed

Blackberry, may their name live in infamy, decided that after January 4th 2022, their phones will no longer be able to access any networks. Terrific. Paid £200 for mine. Good phone, apart from the lousy camera. Well, that'll add several 100s of 1000s more discarded smart phones to the mountains of unrecycled garbage that are taking over our poor planet and there doesn't seem to be a damn thing Blackberry users can do about other than buy a new phone. Which is where the Unihertz Titan comes in. If, like me, you loathe touch-screen keyboards and would rather have a physical Qwerty one, options are limited. In fact, the only practical one currently (December 2021) in production is the Unihertz Titan. So, how does it stack up? Well, I've only had it for a few weeks, but so far there's a fair bit to like. Important to me is its capacity to act as a music player. My music collection amounts to over 68,000 tracks. These take up a lot of space. I had to delete albums from my Blackberry, which could only manage a maximum 256gb micro SD card. The Titan lives up to its name by handling cards up to 1 terabyte! Having downloaded and installed the Vanilla Music Player, I pointed it at my music folder and waited to see if it could handle all those tracks. It took a while to sort through them, but handles them just fine. When out buying CDs, I often have to check that I don't already have them. On the Blackberry, searching through 60,000 tracks took a while. With the Titan's whopping 6gb of RAM, the search facility in Vanilla Music produces results almost instantly. Brilliant! The sound quality through the provided earphones is also pretty good, certainly better than my old iPod and plenty good enough for me. Volume is also good, surpassing the limiters the iPod had by a long way. The keyboard is reasonably responsive, enabling accurate keying. The keys are larger than on the Blackberry and there are a few extras that add functionality. Decent predictive software speeds up the typing process too. This is great as one of the reasons I want a phone is to edit course booklets I produce for the British Druid Order while I'm on the move. Again, the Titan handles this every bit as well as the Blackberry. The larger keyboard is one reason why the Titan is bigger than the Passport, longer by about 18mm and thicker too. As a physical piece of kit, the Titan is solid with a good heft in the hand. Nothing flimsy about it. It's a chunky block of rubber, metal and glass. The screen is a little bigger than the Blackberry Passport and nice and clear. I've adjusted the brightness down to 33%, which is easier on the eyes. Apart from the keyboard, the physical buttons consist of an on/off switch and rocker volume control on the right, torch on the left. If you're looking for a phone to make hi-def movies on, you might need to look elsewhere. The front and rear cameras on the Titan are not of the best quality, adequate for grabbing quick snaps but not much more. Still, they are much better than those on the Blackberry Passport. My greatest irritation with the Titan is that it comes pre-installed with so much Google software, which is great if you want your every thought and action tracked by Google HQ and sold off to third parties all over the world. That said, it's easy enough to bin the Google garbage and replace it with software that works better and doesn't spy on you. I ditched Google search on the home page, for example, and replaced it with the Qwant search engine. The Titan is at least as much a miniature computer as it is a smart phone, which is exactly what I want. And despite what some have said, it fits easily in most of my pockets. So far, then, I'm pretty happy with it. I just hope Unihertz allow me to keep using it and won't cut it off from the networks like Blackberry did with my otherwise still perfectly functional Passport. Grrrrrrrrrrrr......

I bought this because I wanted a Qwerty Keyboard. My Blackberry 8520 on 3G had finally stopped doing anything apart from sending texts. Initially I was appalled at how big and heavy it was. I found it almost impossible to text using the keyboard that I had wanted to badly because it was difficult to hold. I should probably have checked more carefully but until they actually saw it none of my friends believed anyone made a phone that big. It's not really one you could take out in your handbag unless you have a very big handbag. One of my friends has named it the Breezeblock!! A few months on I'm finding it physically easier to text (due to the huge muscles that havedeveloped in my hands) but the way in which it automatically does or doesn't do things is ridiculous. It puts up really odd automatic suggestions but worse than that it corrects my spelling to American usage and it doesn't automatically put apostrophes in common words as the Blackberry did. I thought after typing "don't" a million times it would recognise it but it still doesn't. Worse still (like too many people) it has no grammatical understanding of apostrophes so when I type a plural it insists on putting in an apostrophe before the s. If I don't catch it in time that implies to the recipient that I am grammatically thick as well. Very Very annoying. I can't get the camera to zoom despite reading instructions and looking on the internet - so maybe it doesn't. The camera itself isn't that great. But I can now make and receive phone calls, use Whatsapp, and get emails (although I don't really want to). My Beautiful Blackberry had stopped doing all those things. For what it is and all the bad points I think it is really quite expensive. It proved even more expensive because I ended up buying a cheap and basic Samsung that is lighter, fits in a bag and has the dreaded touchscreen I was trying to avoid. Although the Titan has the Qwerty keyboard you still have to use the touchscreen for everything except typing texts - even for putting in apostrophes!!!!! So a bit of a waste of time and money really. The size and weight I could and should have checked out before buying - but the other problems you would only find out by using it. I would not buy it again...

Just don't bother if you can avoid it. For a keyboard phone your best option these days is likely to be a Clicks keyboard case and an iPhone/Pixel/Razr. I've used the Titan on and off for a few years. The positives are it has quite a decent keyboard and a large battery. Two sim slots, micro sd card can be used in one of them. Negatives are legion : Updates quickly dropped. This is a pattern with Unihertz phones. Unihertz are simply too small to maintain quality phone software. There's the GargoyleGSI third party ROM (which is still a bit out of date), but that has its own issues. Pathetic wireless. it frequently drops connection to my access point, whereas other devices are happily saturating the fibre connection. Bluetooth is just as bad. Unihertz's advice is to forget 5GHz and drop back to 2.4GHz - this does not help. Poor 4G call quality. Sub standard camera. Not comparable to older compact cameras or more modern phones. Poor resolution, inaccurate colours. Application incompatibility. Much though I'd like landscape phones to be a possibility, any aspect ratio other than portrait is a non starter for Android these days - apps simply do not work well on anything else. Charging is *slow*. Wireless charging is broken - apparently if you keep using that it doesn't regulate the battery properly and you run the risk of a bulging battery. They don't follow the GPL license, part of the condition of using Android, and release their source code changes either, so creating third party ROMs is a pain. Clicks case and expensive phone, or the upcoming Titan 2 and likelihood of awful software and no security updates beyond a year. That's your keyboard phone choice in 2025 sadly.

I'd like to start by saying that I am biased, well what I mean is I have gone off the new glass finished phones. That's Right they all look and feel the same, so when I saw the TItan my heart skipped a beat and I fell in love with the aesthetics but software does need to match up, now right off the bat this is not IOS but let me tell you this keyboard is fantastic yes it has its layout quirks but it is not difficult to get used to it at all. I am enjoying every part of this review all typed physically on my wonderful unihertz titan. Now here's my advice, if you use your generally for calls and email and social media then you have to buy this piece of kit absolutely fabulous. Even the size is good for typing, I think if it had of been smaller it would be more difficult to type on. It does weigh a little more than your average phone but that gives it a premium feel. If you have the money to buy it then I would advise you get it, my interest in using my phone has returned. Best phone I've ever bought.

This phone is nice and solid and well made. I have had it for some time and have recently started using it more as my Samsung Galaxy note has got old and cannot be udated. I have updated it to Android 10 version. This phone is almost like a military issue it is very robust. The only thing I do not like about it is the shift key for entering numerals is on the top right corner of the keyboard but this can be remedied by entering nimbers on the screen and using the keyboard for text. I think this was because of Blackberry patents. The great thing is you can get the Blackberry suite from Google play which is very reasonable and has some pretty good apps. Most annoying thing is when you pick it up you can easily turn the light on which is irritating as the light button is on the left edge. Overall I am very pleased with it as it grows on you.
