Unihertz has announced a Kickstarter campaign for its next resistant smartphone, Titan 2.
In a 16 second advertisement published by Unihertz, the company said: “We are preparing for our Kickstarter in June”, offering a first look at a device that feels familiar and ambitious.
The announcement reveals that the Titan 2 follows the original Titan Titan and Titan Slim, continuing the brand approach on smartphones resistant with physical keyboards QWERTY.
A family factor with resistant credentials
With its square screen and hardware keys, the Titan 2 clearly echoes the Blackberry era, when such designs were synonyms for productivity and business communication.
The new model seems to be a wider version and flat edges of the Titan Slim, which lacks the curved and lower curved design that is located in the original titan.
Although detailed specifications remain scarce, Unihertz confirmed to Techradar Pro that the commercial version of Titan 2 will offer a 512 GB substantial of internal storage.
This marks a significant update of the previous iterations, particularly the Titan Unihertz 2019, which was sent with 128 GB of storage, 6 GB of RAM and a mediatek Helio P60 processor.
The original titan was remarkable for its 1440×1440 4.5 -inch screen, global LTE support, NFC capacity and 6,000 mAh battery, all packaged in a voluminous 305 g chassis with water and IP67 dust resistance.
The Titan and Titan Slim were never aimed at conventional users. Instead, they attacked those who seek something unconventional.
The Titan 2 now seems to be ready to build that lineage, with greater storage and a renewed design, while remains firmly rooted in the company’s aesthetic and utilitarian philosophy.
This commercial smartphone does not seem to be a contender for the domain of the mass market. However, its QWERTY physical keyboard could attract professionals who value tactile entry for heavy communication workflows.
That said, this device is undoubtedly a niche product, and physical keyboards have fallen for a long time.
The Titan 2 will need to demonstrate that nostalgia and resistant durability can coexist with modern expectations, otherwise, it will continue to be a niche offer.
