For those who still miss the satisfying click of physical keys of old BlackBerry phones, Unihertz has delivered a modern answer: the Titan 2. Currently live and already funded on Kickstarter, this throwback device updates the BlackBerry-style keyboard for 2025, blending retro charm with flagship specs. Keep reading to discover more about this cool new phone!
Titan 2: Classic Form, Cutting-Edge Specs
The Titan 2 revives the QWERTY keyboard in a sleeker body than its 2019 predecessor. Inspired by the BlackBerry Passport, it now runs Android 15, supports 5G, and packs a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip. Users get 12GB of RAM and a generous 512GB of storage, making this niche phone surprisingly capable and perfect for day to day use.
Despite its classic feel, the Titan 2 is far from old-fashioned. It features a dual-camera system with a 50MP main sensor, fast charging, and a new rear-facing 2-inch screen that serves up notifications, camera previews, and more. You’ll still be able to use apps like Instagram, TikTok, and other social media apps that require a touchscreen. You’ll just have the tactile Qwerty keyboard underneath them.
The Blackberry was considered a phone for business people, and the Titan 2 brings that feeling back. It has 2 SIM slots, so that you don’t have to carry two separate devices for your work and personal use.
Nostalgia with Utility
The revamped physical keyboard includes customizable shortcuts—perfect for users who value tactile input and productivity. The phone has a starting price of $269 for early backers on Kickstarter. We’re sure the price will go up as the demand for this phone grows. We’re also sure it offers serious value for a device that stands out in a sea of all-screen slabs.
Whether you’re a die-hard physical keyboard fan or just curious about an alternative form factor, the Titan 2 proves there’s still a place for buttons in the smartphone age. Would you upgrade to this phone? Or are you waiting until the new Samsung foldable phones are released?
