Tiny Keys, Big Dilemma: Hands-On With the Titan 2 Elite Keyboard Phone

Unihertz’s Titan 2 Elite fuses BlackBerry-style four-row capacitive keyboard with a compact 4-inch Android phone (4.03" 1080p AMOLED, 120Hz) powered by a Dimensity 7400 with 12GB RAM and a 4050mAh battery. The keyboard is the standout feature, offering fast typing and per-app shortcuts plus trackpad modes, but the tiny display crops content, camera is mediocre, and a few bugs (Alt+Backspace deletes text) hamper daily use. It’s a niche device: a distraction-free productivity tool that’s fun for keyboard nerds, priced at $390 on Kickstarter (rises to $490 at launch in June).
