Much QWERTY, very Android: Despite being discontinued five years ago, the BlackBerry design is still popular. Many people want a modern phone with a physical keyboard – there's just something appealing about a tactile interface that a touchscreen can't match. Unihertz just launched a crowdfunding campaign to revive the classic design. Unihertz released its first Titan smartphone in 2019, then followed up with the updated Titan Slim a few years later.
