The space bar is also small – about the same size as two ordinary keys – making it occasionally hard to hit. Weirdly, the keyboard also positioned the '0' key to the left-hand side of the other numbers, rather than at the bottom, as you'd expect. When positioned at the top, typing feels weirdly unintuitive, almost as though you're playing a game of Twister. This was the design used by RIM (and subsequently carried forward by TCL with its own BlackBerry clones). As such, it makes sense to have modifier keys (like the symbol key, used to access special characters, or the shift key, used to capitalise letters) at the bottom. When you use a phone with a physical keyboard, your thumbs naturally gravitate towards the bottom of the device.

You get that same awkward square screen (measuring 3.1 inches across, with a resolution of 712x720), which doesn't really quite mesh with how apps are built in 2021. That notwithstanding, the dimensions and design of the Titan Pocket are fairly evocative of the BlackBerry Bold. All of its devices debuted on crowdfunding sites. It makes weird phones (like a 4G blower the size of two cigarette lighters and an Android-powered BlackBerry Passport clone, to name just two.) There's no mass-market appeal to its phones, and it's entirely fine with that. Unihertz has a fundamentally different business model. In practice, that meant an OS filled with business-centred apps, and an overarching emphasis on security and encryption.

BlackBerry (formerly RIM) was primarily concerned with building work devices. Sure, it might be a great burger, but it's not the same.įor starters, the Unihertz Titan Pocket comes from a completely different place. Review The Unihertz Titan Pocket – a small ruggedised Android 11 phone with a physical QWERTY keyboard – is a bit like when you ask your mum to buy you a Big Mac meal from McDonald's and she instead makes you one at home.
