[UNIHERTZ TITAN POCKET REVIEW]
These days, if I’m showing you a phone with a physical keyboard on the MrMobile channel, odds are it’s in an episode of my “When Phones Were Fun” throwback series.
Well, not today. Whether you’re a BlackBerry holdout, a nostalgic rubbernecker, or something in between … there’s a new QWERTY keyboard communicator in town – the Titan Pocket, from Unihertz. Just like the last Titan, this one is a BlackBerry copy-paste in almost everything but the name … but this one got hit with a shrink ray to make carrying it much less cumbersome. Find out if that, plus the affordable price, is enough to make it worth your $299 … in MrMobile’s Titan Pocket Review!

Quick Question: Can I install Linux (IDK maemo Laste or something) on this, and how many things wont work if I did?
Just bought mine can’t wait untill it gets in the mail
I never heard about this phone until today because I’m looking for a new (ish) phone for myself because I have small hands. I’ve never owned a phone with a full keyboard and I’m excited to have more than the volume and power buttons at my command. 😀
can it work with Whatsapp ?
Just got mine on Monday and LOVE IT! I cant put it down. Highly recommend 😍😍
At least it s different, nowadays e only have big screen!!
Unfortunately none of these phones work with AT&T. Choosing AT&T was not my choice but I can’t find a phone I like because of it.
Wish it was bigger
Openly speaking, we don’t happy with China base mobile phone companies. We love Canadian base BlackBerry limited products only.
is bigger Titan still in production?
This evokes nostalgia of the Blackberry era. The unmet need for physical keyboard is huge, and the Titan would fill much of the gap. Count me in
I really miss the qwerty keypad phones
Does it work on T-Mobile
I want a qwerty with a touchdcreen but it has to have the os and playstore apps
is the phone still working after a year?
Ive been looking for a pocket keybard ever since getting my first smartphone. this looks interesting.
I miss the palm treo 650
Unihertz just call blackberry and make a new phone for the sad blackberry users.
With phones like the Xiaomi Mi mix 3, I would love to see another HTC G2 type design get a rework. With magnets and a full back lit keyboard and nice mid to high end specs if could be a REAL nice device. We can always hope for a Motorola Sidekick or Driod refresh device 😔
Screen too small not like bbq20
As a "data user" I want to make calls, text, message, tweet, read pdf’s & even spreadsheets etc.
A poor camera doesn’t matter as long as quick snaps of QR codes & receipts can be done.
I don’t take selfies, play games, stream films (or listen to music much – I want the phone to do WORK & communicate on. I just can’t decide which Titan to buy.
I’ve used several BB’s over the years & love using BB’s swipeable keyboard; easy to scroll and no accidental pressing of links.
I currently have a BB Key 2 but no longer get updates from BB & am running Android 8.
So, the Titan Slim is appealing, the Pocket looks good but screen size may be a step backwards from the Key2 and the Titan, whilst rugged with IP67 & great battery life just looks too big to carry around without a belt clip or holster.
These Unihertz models all have great appeal depending on what we need but my concerns are: warranty, service, regular updates, security, & whether it will work in the U.K with my Provider (EE) and…. it has NO 5G.
The £330 ($300) price tag makes it viable to purchase outright….so tempting.
Perhaps I can wait another year and Unihertz will address these things…
Stop commiting genocide.
Do any canadain carriers offer unihertz?
Apps wise, do all the usual android messaging apps work effectively on this device? eg. whatsapp, telegram? great review, i really miss the good old days of Blackberry
Mike D Scott sexually assaulted me when I worked for BlackBerry
I don’t want apps. No internet. Just a qrty keyboard talk text long battery rugged phone. Think LG Extravert. Have it still until Verizon terminates CDMA this year.
I want to purchase this phone but unfortunately they do not have a server working in my country
Is it worth buying??
Too expensive. End of story…
I am desperate for a phone with a keyboard. I’m still holding on to my old LG octane. It’s a terrific small phone, that fits in my pocket and is super easy to text on. To me that is what a phone is primarily for – calls and texting. (I use an iPad mini for other stuff, like playing games or watching videos). But Verizon is terminating my phone and I don’t know what to get next. I am willing to change carrier is necessary, but I just can’t seem to find a phone that fits my needs.
I hear conflicting information on whether the unihertz pocket titan is worth buying and whether it will work with Verizon.
(Hint, hint, now that this phone has been released, please update this video)
It’s truly more upsetting and frustrating then most people can imagine!
Am I the only one out there who yearns for a phone (1) that is small and actually fits in my pockets (& no 6” isn’t small), (2) has a keyboard for fast texting and (3) has a headphone jack? Am I?!?!
I might be able to get use to a phone without a keyboard, but they are all just too huge or too expensive or too crappy.
Help!!!!
I bought a Titan Unihertz and am loving itttt. The more i use it, the more i learn more features ❤️ 😍
And with just one sentence at the end, you lost me as a viewer.
– There’s nothing better than a media parasite outing himself out, thinking he’s got a grip on others just because of his mediocre popularity.
I actually really like that phone. I kind of want it now. Good job unihertz!!!!
I want a Titan Pocket, but a bit slimmer. The phone is a bit too thick. Other than that, it looks gorgeous.
and the same person who misses their Nokia bricks
Honestly I prefer a good laptop with a solid dumb phone over just a smart phone
If only the camera was okay I’d be down
Can’t people just get the Blackberry Key2?
Totally buying this only question I have is does soundcloud work on this device lol
Love those explanation cut scenes with you in it😆. Wonderful video!
Instead of 1*1 ratio, 3.1 inch screen ..If the screen ratio is 4*3 wide , 3.5 inch ,it will be more ergonomically pleasant… I think it take away the phones attractiveness when the screen is square.. blackberries downfall began when they changed the screen ratio of the phone from 4*3 wide screen to 1*1 squared screen..
hes a vax sellout the devil got him
Interesting! I miss my BB Classic. I would like to see a New BB Classic, even if it had Android. Chen, Chen, are you listening. Drop the martini and get on it!
Thank you. Too bad about the camera. I would pay the extra for a good one. even at 500 that would be a good cost point if it could get near apple/samsung quality.
wifi and whtsapp?
sad about func. keys, but missing IP is a total NOGO for me
I really like the ‘idea’ of this device, but the screen size is truly what prevents me from going "all in." I guess if I had been a loyal Blackberry user all this time, 3.1" wouldn’t be a problem.
For someone coming from a handset display more than twice that size, that’s a huge sacrifice. That being said, $299 is an amazing price for a tactile-keyboard phone running Android 11.
The overall form-factor itself is a good size and shape for what it is. A 4000 mAh battery is decent, although the phone I am using right now is bigger at 5000 mAh.
I was willing to overlook the negatives from the subpar camera to slower chipset but for me, the purpose of a physical keyboard is for extended typing. And logically, you would want to clearly see the entirety of what you are typing rather than a shrunken-down version trying to scale to square-shaped ‘mini.’
And oh yeah, it would be nice to use this phone to watch movies on a plane or frankly, anywhere else where you’ll be doing a lot of "waiting around." That’s probably why I’ve stuck to 16:9 aspect ratio displays on the larger side, ever since I watched a YouTube video on the first Motorola Droid more than a decade ago.
I realize all of these crowd-funded startups like Unihertz must make do with the tech that is within their reach. However painful to my wallet, though, it may be worth paying Planet Computers $1,000 for a true Android 11 smartphone with a physical keyboard.
The screen size is what I’m used to, and the keyboard is large enough to make typing significantly faster than a touch-screen. Unless someone wants to make a sequel to the Blackberry Priv, clamshell it is. 💁🏻♂️📱🏆
Just got mine for my daily carry. Honestly one of my best purchases ever, its crafted so well its ridiculous.
The phone is faulty when connecting to Android Auto.
When connected to Android Auto, only a black screen appears in the Maps and Music apps,
Occasionally there are times when the map runs just fine.
Unfortunately, this phone has many glitches in its wireless connection.
However, it is considered the only alternative to the Blackberry Classic.
Crackberry is back, folks.
might actually get one of these (or hopefully an updated version by the time my current phone ages out, Xperia 10 iii )
