Meet the Unihertz Titan 2, a rugged Android beast with a physical keyboard that channels the BlackBerry Passport’s vibe while packing enough modern tech to hold its own. Its Kickstarter campaign quickly exceeded its $100,000 goal, proving there’s still a market for smartphones that break away from standard design.
The Titan 2’s boxy, sharp-edged design screams BlackBerry Passport, sporting a 4.5-inch square display with a crisp 1440 x 1440 resolution. At 305 grams, it’s a hefty device, but that weight means business: this phone laughs off drops, dust, and splashes. Below the screen sits a familiar QWERTY keyboard, with wide, sculpted keys built for thumb-typing bliss. Ditching the original Titan’s curved edges, the Titan 2 goes for a flatter, industrial look, like a beefier BlackBerry KEYone. A selfie camera tucks into the top-right corner, and six navigation buttons above the keyboard keep things practical.

For anyone who churned through emails on a BlackBerry, the Titan 2’s keyboard feels like coming home. Unihertz retooled it for 2025, promising a comfy, reliable typing experience. Every letter key can be customized with short- or long-press shortcuts. The keyboard also doubles as a trackpad of sorts, letting you swipe across keys to scroll or move a cursor, a feature pulled from BlackBerry’s playbook. Unlike the original Titan’s half-virtual setup, this is a full QWERTY deal, complete with an extra row of function keys.
Powered by Android 15, the Titan 2 drags BlackBerry’s spirit into today’s world. A MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip gives it solid 5G speed, leaving the original Titan’s Helio P60 in the dust. With 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage, there’s room for all your apps and files, and 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM keeps multitasking smooth. Dual SIM support and two customizable side buttons add extra flair for quick tasks.
The 4.5-inch square screen is the Titan 2’s heart, its 1:1 ratio perfect for reading emails, documents, or spreadsheets in one glance, just like the Passport did for pros. The 1440 x 1440 resolution delivers sharp visuals, and a 120Hz refresh rate adds a modern snap, even if it’s not chasing AMOLED’s pixel crown. A quirky 2-inch “SubScreen” on the back, built into the camera bump with a 410 x 502 resolution, shows notifications or widgets, like a flip phone’s outer display.
Unihertz stepped up the cameras, too, with a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP 3.4X telephoto lens, and a 32MP front camera for solid selfies—functional, not flashy. A backlit keyboard and an IR port round out the package, boosting its versatility.
Priced at $269 on Kickstarter with shipping set for October 2025, the Titan 2 is a bargain for its throwback charm and modern hardware.
