UnihertzTitan Slim, The New Sleek QWERTY 4G Smartphone Android 11 Unlocked NFC Smart Phone (NO charger)

This is a tricky review to write as because in every respect I feel duty bound to compare this phone to my beloved Blackberry Priv which met with an unfortunate end after years of faithful service and thus pushed me to seek a replacement.Like anyone else who prefers a physical keyboard, you the reader may have found yourself considering this phone and reading the reviews as I did.So to summarise first. This isn't a Blackberry Priv. Not by quite a stretch. But it is a good solid reliable Android phone with a decent battery life and a physical keyboard. And it is the only one I could find on the market. So buy it. Like I did. Because we want Unihertz (no, I'd never heard of them either) to keep making more when no-one else is.I've now been running it for over two months and aside from a software quirk where the camera fails to take photos after screen lock unlock (unless you clear it from memory), it is working perfectly. An initial worry when buying technology from unrecognised brands.So, the phone itself.Keyboard: Its greatest strength and a weakness. It isn't as good as the Priv which was near perfect. The keys feel a little close and it sometimes feels a little too low on the phone for a comfortable grip. The layout doesn't feel very natural, but I'm starting to get used to it. One bonus though is there are several programmable keys. And it is the only phone with a keyboard. Hopefully Unihertz will recognise some faults and change it in any subsequent model.Camera: Decent enough, but nothing amazing. This isn't the phone for you if you want stunning photographs, but it equally as good as the Priv and better than it in poor light.Durability: With the free case and screen protectors that come with it, this feels like a solid phone in your hands. Not sure where the slim comes from in the name as it most certainly isn't, but personally that actually makes it feel more sturdy. It has a decent build and body finish and has been dropped once (what killed the Priv), but survived 100% intact.Screen Size: For a modern phone, the screen feels small. Much smaller than the Priv as the physical keyboard doesn't slide away and it isn't to the edges of the phone. Maybe Unihertz will improve that in a later model, but it does fel like precious space on the front of the phone is wasted. It does the job though and for my eyes, Android allows you to change your standard font size. Plus, it feels easier to fit into pockets than many modern rivals.Battery: In fairness, the Priv's battery was dying so this might skew my opinion, but the Titan Slim's battery life appears to be great. I easily get a couple of days out of it with fairly heavy internet use. Although I personally don't keep location or bluetooth on unless needed and keep my screen brightness to approx three quarters.Dual Sim: Handy for me, it was also dual sim which it handles well. The above battery life includes separate network scanning for the two sims.Memory / Storage: Both equally ample without setting any records. It doesn't have an expansion slot, but the internal storage is pretty generous and seems fast when used. No delay for photos to be stored, etc..Cost: It is considerably cheaper (£200+) than my Priv was and far cheaper than many phones out there, but it doesn't feel it.Niggles: There's no stereo jack socket, but they do supply a USB adapter with the phone. Not sure how many people will be bothered by that, but I still use it to play the phone back through an older stereo in the house.Bonus: The Amazon offering came with a cover, screen protectors and bluetooth ear phones.Hope that helps someone reading. My recommendation. Buy it. If you don't, Unihertz might not make another in future and then there'll be precisely no options on the market for those who want a physical keyboard.Hope that helps.

This is a good phone, it's well thought out and effort has been made to make good use of the keyboard (shortcuts etc).At the end of the day if you're coming from a BlackBerry KeyOne / Key2 - this phone will perform better as it has a better battery, more storage, more RAM, and most importantly the more recent Android version allows greater application compatibility.It's not perfect though... they keyboard is not quite as good as a BlackBerry, though is perfectly fine once you get used to it. The camera is not amazing, and the WiFi performance is weaker than other phones.But all in all it is a good phone and is an obvious replacement for a BlackBerry for people who prefer a physical keyboard.Ideally I'd prefer a slightly wider but thinner device, and ideally a device with a more up to date version of Android. But if you're after a Keyboard phon, in my opinion this is the best choice out there at the moment.

I'm really enjoying my new phone! I'm not someone who does everything available on a phone (although I image this does most), but did want a physical keyboard like the ones that used to be found on a Blackberry - and here we are! Sleek and nifty this phone is great value and a pleasure to use.

I would give this two stars because it has a qwerty keyboard but it loses a star for being a really poorly designed heap of rubbish. One of the main problems is that it has this silly, oversensitive button just above the "t" and "y" buttons which, if you even slightly touch it, takes you back to the homescreen, so speed typing is out. The backspace button is in the wrong place so you end up pressing "p" all the time.The battery life is poor, it doesn't last a day, it doesn't connect properly with WiFi, it's a smaller screen and heavier than a Blackberry LE2, not easy to navigate and generally a really cackhanded attempt at making a poor copy of a BB.Don't waste your money, it is incredibly badly designed making it almost unusable.

I know a lot of you will be wondering is this the replacement to my key2?For me it's a no but a respectful effort from titan.I hope for all of us there get there one day.- The screen was too cramped.- Keyboard too compact and not as tactile as the IMO perfectly crafted key2 keyboard but still a good effort from titan. I would describe the keyboard as somewhere between the priv and the keyone with priv at the bottom and key2 at the top.- Lacking keyboard funcfuntions like swiping back on the track pad to remove words while typing. A feature I adore! Also highlighting function when you hold shift and scroll up on the track pad to remove entire sentences.- speaker sound was tinny- screen not as nice (Maybe I just wasn't used to it)- lack of quality feel the blackberry had- also the battery felt like it took an age to charge and maybe wasn't as good as the key2. I didn't use it enough to understand what was going on but for me the key2 on a dull screen was always going to last more than a day with heavy use and I didn't get that impressions from the titan but I have seen that others reported similar and other not.I'm only noting the bad because for me these were deal breakers. There is plenty of good effort here but not enough for me to switch. Yet.Lets hope they can build from here towards that blackberry replacement we all seek but for now I'm sticking with a new key2 to replace my old one which lasted 4 years no problems until the battery needed replacing.

A good Phone,needed a manuel Key board because the my limited dexterity
