- Unihertz Titan 2 brings back the QWERTY keyboard with an impressive 512GB upgrade
- The Titan 2 is not for everyone, but that’s exactly its strongest selling point
- This phone brings back business-class typing and storage in a tank-like body
Unihertz has announced a Kickstarter campaign for its upcoming rugged smartphone, the Titan 2.
In a 16-second ad released by Unihertz, the company said, “We are getting ready for our Kickstarter in June,” offering a first look at a device that feels both familiar and ambitious.
The ad reveals the Titan 2 follows the original Uniherz Titan and the Titan Slim, continuing the brand’s focus on rugged smartphones with physical QWERTY keyboards.
A familiar form factor with rugged credentials
With its square screen and hardware keys, the Titan 2 clearly echoes the BlackBerry era, when such designs were synonymous with business productivity and communication.
The new model appears to be a wider, flat-edged version of the Titan Slim, lacking the curved top and bottom design found on the original Titan.
Though detailed specifications remain scarce, Unihertz confirmed to TechRadar Pro that the commercial version of the Titan 2 will offer a substantial 512GB of internal storage.
This marks a significant upgrade from previous iterations, particularly the 2019 Unihertz Titan, which shipped with 128GB of storage, 6GB of RAM, and a MediaTek Helio P60 processor.
The original Titan was notable for its 4.5-inch 1440×1440 display, global LTE support, NFC capability, and 6,000mAh battery, all packed into a bulky 305g chassis with IP67 water and dust resistance.
The Titan and Titan Slim were never aimed at mainstream users. Instead, they targeted those seeking something unconventional.
The Titan 2 now seems poised to build on that lineage, with greater storage and a refreshed design, while remaining firmly rooted in the company’s niche aesthetic and utilitarian philosophy.
This business smartphone does not appear to be a contender for mass-market dominance. However, its physical QWERTY keyboard could appeal to professionals who value tactile input for communication-heavy workflows.
That said, this device is undeniably a niche product, and physical keyboards have long fallen out of fashion.
The Titan 2 will need to prove that nostalgia and rugged durability can coexist with modern expectations, otherwise, it will remain a niche offering.
