TL;DR Unihertz, a company that already sells rugged QWERTY phones, is teasing its next phone with a physical keyboard.

The Unihertz Titan 2 Elite features a more compact and sleeker design, much like the recently revealed Communicator from Clicks.

Unihertz will showcase the phone in March, and a Kickstarter will follow soon.

Through 2025, there have been frequent attempts to create devices that replicate BlackBerry’s impact. In addition to projects dedicated to reviving older BlackBerry phones, we recently witnessed the announcement of Clicks Communicator, a compact phone with a QWERTY keypad. Clicks is the same company that began selling cases for iPhones and some flip-style foldables with built-in keyboards only a few years ago. Meanwhile, another company with several years of pedigree is ready to join the race.

The Unihertz Titan 2 Elite is the latest step in that direction. Unihertz is no stranger to phones with physical QWERTY keypads. It has been dabbling with them for well over five years, filling the gap left by BlackBerry’s decline.

The headliner of its momentum has been its Titan series of phones, which offer a rugged design and a full keyboard. These phones, however, have tried to emulate the BlackBerry Passport experience with their expansive screens and chunky builds. That also applies to the Titan 2, launched in 2025, which appeals to enterprise users with its large 4.5-inch display and work-centric features. For context, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, one of the largest Android phones, is only 3 inches wide.

The newer Titan 2 Elite is a far cry from the rugged, business-centric device it once was. Based on the teaser Unihertz has shared, it’s far more compact and visibly comparable to a smaller BlackBerry Curve. Unihertz hasn’t disclosed the exact display size, but the video below gives us some insight into how big it could be.
