I test over 40 smartphones a year, and I fall into a bit of a pattern. I’ll use a phone for a period of time on first release, then move on to something else. If I find myself thinking about the previous phone while I’ve got my SIM in the latest and greatest, then I know the phone is a winner.
That’s precisely how I feel about the Unihertz Titan 2 Elite.
If it were just another BlackBerry clone, I wouldn’t feel the same way. Yes, I’d jump at the chance to buy a new BlackBerry-branded device running BB10, but that’s not going to happen. Instead, Unihertz scores by breaking out from the original mold, while keeping the essence of what made BlackBerry successful. I enjoy using the Titan 2 Elite because it stands on its own as a physical keyboard phone in 2026 — not just a walk down memory lane.

Unihertz gets the basics right

I find the Titan 2 Elite enjoyable because Unihertz ticks all the boxes for what makes a solid smartphone. It features a gorgeous 4-inch OLED display that refreshes at 120Hz. It’s the best panel Unihertz has ever shipped on a device, and it’s a highlight of the phone. I pump up the saturation in system settings, and I’m repeatedly amazed by how fantastic and vibrant the display looks.
The phone also runs well. The Dimensity 7400 won’t be confused for a flagship chipset anytime soon, but it gets the job done, pushing a smooth 120Hz experience. Communication, social media, and light gaming are all easily handled. And if you do find you need more power, you can pay extra for a Dimensity 8400 variant, but I’ve seen no need.
I'll never be as fast typing on a Titan 2 Elite as I am on traditional smartphones, but I don't consider that a negative.
