Unihertz Titan Pocket, Small QWERTY Smartphone Android 11 Unlocked NFC Smart Phone (NO charger)

Years ago, I owned a Nokia N97, and then a Motorola Milestone (called the Motorola Droid in the US). I love keyboard phones because I'm very used to typing on computer keyboards, and I've never got used to touchscreen keyboards. I ended up moving to an iPhone because of problems I had with Android at the time, but I really missed having a keyboard, and I knew if I were going to buy another Android device, it would be one with a keyboard. After all, Android's biggest selling point is that you can buy the device you want. It was incredibly difficult to find a phone with a keyboard. I actually have a Fxtec Pro1 X pre-ordered, but it's been delayed various times, so I wanted something in the meantime while I waited for it. I was thinking about getting a BlackBerry Key2, but it no longer receives Android updates. So I ended up finding the Titan Pocket as an alternative, and was surprised to see that I could just buy it on Amazon and get it delivered the next day. It feels like well-built, and seems like it would withstand some drops. The keyboard took some time to get used to, it's a bit small for my liking, however I've got used to it now, and I can type fairly quickly on it. The screen is good quality, although it would've been nicer if it was OLED. It's a small screen due to the form factor, but that doesn't bother me. Some apps may not display well on this screen size, however I have only had this issue with a couple of apps and the phone has a solution to this problem by allowing you to switch to a "portrait" mode with a gesture. The phone is fast enough for my liking, I haven't tried any games, but that's not why I bought it. The biggest drawback to this phone would be the camera, however this is in relative terms to the current state of smartphone cameras. For me personally, it works well enough in good light, but if photography is a big thing for you, I wouldn't recommend this phone. The keyboard can also be used for app shortcuts, and there's also a red button on the side which can also be programmed for some kind of shortcut. The phone has a lot of utility apps built-in, which is a nice touch. The phone has a headphone jack, which apparently is now considered a feature, but even more interesting is that the phone has an infrared emitter, so you can control any device that would usually be controlled via an infrared remote, such as a television or sound bar. It's a niche feature, but I find it useful. I hadn't heard of Unihertz before, and I probably wouldn't have heard about them if they hadn't made a phone with a keyboard, but they seem to make good quality phones and are a brand which I will keep my eye on. And finally, the price point. Many phones these days range from £500 to over a grand! This phone is inexpensive in comparison. I would recommend this phone to anyone looking for a BlackBerry form factor or even just a phone with a keyboard, providing you don't mind a subpar camera.

I was disappointed with this phone. Problem after problem, the two main ones being that it couldn't receive calls using a perfectly good SIM and the WiFi kept switching off. I couldn't trust it to work. The keyboard was nice, although very different to the Blackberry type (back in the day), so it would take a lot of time to get used to. Apart from being unusable, the physical phone is nice, slightly chunky but feels solid. Such a shame it doesn't work. I sent it straight back as I didn't want to spend any more time trying to fix the issues.

I was concerned about the size of the screen, but it's no worse than using a larger screened phone with half the display covered by an on screen keyboard. If you're a serious gamer then this won't be for you, the screen is just too small, but for browsing, messaging and calling it's perfectly fine. After setting the phone up a pop-up appeared to say that an update was available so the latest security update for Android 11 was installed. The physical keyboard itself is quite easy to use. I have large hands but with a little perseverance the keyboard is fairly easy to master. There is also the option to have some keyboard functions on screen, which simplifies some tasks. Performance is good, apps and web pages load quickly and battery life appears to be quite good, no doubt this is due to not having to power a large screen. Build quality is good, I would, however, I would recommend a TPU or book style case, as the rear of the phone is quite smooth and therefore susceptible to scratching if not protected. Some apps don't display properly due to the screen size but there is a setting that helps with this, which makes the experience tolerable. Sound through the earpiece and speaker is fairly good - not Dolby quality but adequate for a device of this size. There is a programmable shortcut button which is very useful and provides PTT functionality for VoiP apps such as Zello or can be used to open specific apps which are user selectable with function settings for both long and short presses. The physical keyboard itself takes a little effort to master - anyone used to the BlackBerry Curve will be familiar with this, but the keyboard function are a little different to the BlackBerry. Once mastered, the keyboard becomes intuitive. There is an IR transmitter on board and an app that lets you set the phone up as a remote for devices such as TV, satellite box, sound system etc. I have used it with my smart TV with good results. Good value for the price and for those who prefer a small form factor and physical keyboard, it's ideal. I like Unihertz products, I use an Atom XL for my main phone, and I bought this one specifically for business use, much better than a slab phone for my purposes. To sum up, it's a neat, small device, well constructed and capable phone but it is in a somewhat niche market.

Had the phone about a week now and a real pleasure to use. Very good solid build quality, not as chunky in the hand as I thought it would be and very comfortable to use. Keyboard is great to use which is why I bought it in the first place, I wanted an old style BB and this didn't disappoint. The screen is obviously a lot smaller than normal smart phones and needs some getting used to but I'm happy to compromise to get the physical keyboard. Only one thing I have noticed is that I can't seem to get any alert sounds for eBay or the Royal Mail app for some reason but WhatsApp alert sounds work fine, I haven't tried email alerts as I always search those manualy and never push so maybe something I'm doing wrong but not sure. All in all very happy with the phone.

1. Keyboard is quite different to the standard bb keyboards - messes with your muscle memory so it will take time getting used to, 2. The quality of the camera is horrific. It is even worse if let's say you try and record a video. It is pitiful 3. Battery life seems OK 4. Generally pretty easy to setup 5. Quite a hefty/chunky phone. it will take getting used to if you had the BB key2 as your last phone 6. Visual quality is pretty poor. It reminds me more of a phone from the 00's - not the sharp resolution you might expect Conclusion - if like me you really need a keyboard, then for the price paid, it is worth it. But I'm not enjoying typing on it at the moment as I keep making mistakes - it will take time getting used to. Don't get this phone if you're expecting a quality camera or crisp resolution. I'd give it 2.5 out of 5.

Have been looking for something like this for a very long time since my Blackberry died. Totally fed up of the touch screen keyboard that seems to have been incorporated into almost all smartphones nowadays. 95% of my smartphone use is messaging be it WhatsApp, SMS or Emails. And this is just great for that. For music and entertainment, I have the ipod. Just one point to note is that given the price that I am paying, I was not expecting a super-brilliant camera on this thing and my expectations were set and met accordingly. This is probably the biggest difference between this smartphone and the Apple iPhones and Samsung A, M and S series. Similarly, don't expect the screen to be the same as those phones. That said, it is absolutely perfect for everything else that I would use my smartphone for, and even better. The size of the phone makes it an ideal pocket fit, as well as fitting into the palm of my hand. When holding and using it, the device has a great solid feel to it. Very robustly built, though I would have been happier had it come with Gorrilla glass (like the Oukitel phones) and wireless charging. Overall, I am very please with the phone from both a performance and Value For Money perspective.

Had the phone for 7 months used everyday. It is really cool, with a well built body, which can be disassembled by undoing the machine screws. It has a fair bit of customization through the settings. The battery is very good. the camera is dreadful and and you must tap to focus or the whole image will be blurred. The touch screen is useful but very small and very un-optimized for web pages and google maps is dreadful, a huge green block covers most of the screen. The keyboard is reactive and of course mechanical. But the layout is very inconvenient at times, the "/" symbol is right next to the alt key, which is required to be pressed before you can type a "/". The finger print sensor get in the way of the button which opens your tabs. Worst of all is that the phone has completely crashed to a Chinese sub menu on three occasions. On one of these occasions I had to take it to a phone repair shop for the guy to try boot up the phone again. As said previously, the phone is very un-optimized for certain websites, making it inoperable some times. Overall, I would not recommend as a day to day phone, the drawbacks are tolerable for a few months but then they become a pain in the arse after a while.

Everything was good until I dropped it, then the camera stopped working. I managed to get it repaired and it was fine, then I dropped it again and now there is no service. This phone can withstand being dropped on the outside but the internal electronic components are prone to being damaged. I bought this phone explicitly so that I could drop it, I have not dropped it hard yet as I have done with prior smartphones. What is even worse is I have been the most careful with this phone and bought a case and screen protector with it. 200 quid gone down the drain

Scopro solo a fine 2024 l'esistenza di questi smartphone Unihertz, nello specifico la linea Titan, e me ne dispiace molto: l'avessi scoperto prima, avrei preso questo Titan Pocket quando fu lanciato sul mercato. L'ho preso per "scappare" dalle continue distrazioni degli smartphone con display enormi e 16:9 - un tempo, i cellulari erano piccoli ed ergonomici, oggi cosa è cambiato? Lo uso da quasi una settimana e non ho intenzione di tornare indietro perché: la tastiera QWERTY è fantastica e molto comoda; la batteria dura due giorni pieni, un giorno e mezzo con un utilizzo intenso tra Whatsapp, Telegram, chiamate, e-mail, Spotify, Maps, Web e altre app mirate sulla produttività; la ricezione telefonica ed il Wi-Fi annientano certi smartphone di fascia alta odierni; è veramente "pocket", nel senso che in tasca ci sta benissimo, soprattutto nelle giacche; la qualità audio in chiamata (vivavoce e non) è ottima, non ho avuto alcun problema; l'audio purtroppo è mono, ma almeno il volume è molto alto, la qualità non è granché ma è comunque promosso; i sensori di luminosità, prossimità ed impronta sono perfetti; il display da 3.1 pollici è l'arma a doppio taglio: da un lato, ottimo per distrarsi meno e avere compattezza, dall'altro, purtroppo Android (e con esso anche alcune app) non è ottimizzato per girare con display così piccoli, per cui alcune schermate e alcune scritte possono essere troppo piccole - se avesse avuto un display da 3.4 o 3.6 pollici sarebbe stato PERFETTO; non è un "cameraphone" (prendete una macchina fotografica se volete scattare delle foto) ma i QR-code e i documenti li legge tranquillamente; il LED di notifica è sempre un "must"; il design rende molto di più dal vivo e il "touch and feel" è bellissimo; si, è pesante ma ci si dimentica del peso (non dimentichiamo che è un rugged-phone); ha il jack per le cuffie, espansione di memoria con SD e infrarossi; E i difetti? Ci sono, e spero che Unihertz non si addormenti perché: lo smartphone non riceve patch di sicurezza da Settembre 2022 e ha Android 11............; il volume delle notifiche NON è separato dal volume delle chiamate (ma questa è colpa di Android 11); bisogna esplorare bene le impostazioni da soli per capire come sfruttare al meglio le sue funzionalità; avrei preferito più azioni personalizzabili con il tasto laterale "PTT"; della serie Titan sono disponibili solo tre modelli. Conclusioni: fateci l'abitudine e non lo mollate mai. PS: se premete il tasto di accensione + tasto del volume su in contemporanea con display acceso, il telefono entra in modalità "Vibrazione".

I got it yesterday. The phone is perfect. Very good system and perfect size. The titan was too big and the camara was terrible. But the titan pocket is just perfect

😍

Nach 10 tagen glaube ich schon über das gerät urteilen zu können. Es ist etwas kleiner und man muss halt mehr scrollen. Passt aber dafür besser in die Hosentasche. Ich habe ein paar software-änderungen vorgenommen, inclusive meiner BlackBerry apps. Tastatur war ein bischen anders, habe mich aber mitlerweile gut dran gewöhnt und ist vom Druckpunkt und der größe eher dem BlackBerry classic gleich. Da ich viel Musik über Amazon in Hd höre, habe ich den audio-codec aptx Hd noch freigeschaltet. Ldac ist eh schon original dabei aber für prime music klingt aptx Hd einfach kraftvoller. Die Lautstärke ist etwas geringer als beim key2 aber absolut ausreichend mit fiio lg-bt2 neckband mit shure se535 inear. Die tasten alt und shift lassen sich in den tiefen der Einstellungen vertauschen, dass wie gewohnt die alt-taste auf der linken seite ist. Was ich aber vermisse ist das feststellen der alt_taste um z. b. Eine Zahlenfolge zu schreiben. Das einzig wirklich schlechte ist die Kamera. Selbst für einen Schnappschuss ab und zu absolut nicht zu gebrauchen, und als ehemaliger BlackBerry Nutzer sind die Ansprüche in diesem Segment eh schon recht weit unten angesiedelt... Alles in allem ein würdiger Nachfolger für den geringen preis. Eigentlich hatte ich gesagt, dass dies nur eine vorübergehende Lösung sein wird bis es vielleicht ein key3 gibt, aber ich denke das dies nicht nötig ist! Die akkulaufzeit ist auch sehr gut. Da ich sehr viel online Musik höre hatte mein key2 (mit neuem Akku) von 7 Uhr bis ca.16 Uhr gehalten, das Titan Pocket locker bis 22Uhr mit noch 40% und einer Restlaufzeit bis 6 Uhr angegeben. Ich kann das gerät wirklich nur empfehlen! Kleines Update: leider funktionieren einige Apps nur im mini-modus und andere, wie z.B. Bybit (trading-app) sind auf dem Gerät überhaupt nicht zu nutzen. Sehr schade, eigentlich wirklich ein Gerät mit Potential, aber das war dann doch das Knock-out. Habe mir nun wieder ein überteuertes gebrauchtes key2 zugelegt.

I have no idea why manufacturers think everyone wants the same giant, all-touchscreen, time-sucking smartphone. It took an unreasonably long time to find a phone with a full QWERTY keyboard, but now that I've found it, it is PERFECT. I absolutely love the titan pocket. It's the perfect size, rugged, durable, with great features. It works perfectly for me on T-Mobile and has every feature that one needs in a phone. Personally, I do NOT want social media on any phone, but you of course have the option to download those apps if you want them. I've had all physical QWERTY phones my entire life, and only switched to this smartphone because they quit service to my blackberry (despite the fact that it was still in pretty perfect condition, mms and calls started failing). It IS nice having Spotify, maps, uber, and other "necessary" apps available. It is simple and intuitive to use. I love that a long press of the red (programmable) key on the side turns on the flashlight and a short press turns on the keyboard backlight. AirPods connect with no problem, sound is good, battery is long-lasting, and of course, the keyboard is great. I hope that this phone continues being made for ever!
