Unihertz Titan Pocket review, one month later: Nostalgic nerd novelty

The 2000s called, they want their phone back

By  Manuel Vonau Aug 5, 2021

Smartphones are boring these days. Many are just the same variation of a glass sandwich with a front completely filled by a touchscreen and a back full of cameras. But in the past, phones came in many different shapes and sizes, and brand-new form factors used to be the norm. Specialty phone manufacturer Unihertz taps into this nostalgia to bring back something that we thought was dead: a Blackberry-like slab equipped with a physical keyboard.The Titan Pocket is just another phone in a long line of niche creations launched by Unihertz, including the larger, non-Pocket version of Titan. Like its predecessors, the Pocket relied on a Kickstarter campaign to make sure there's enough interest in the phone before it starts mass production, and it more than surpassed its funding goal.
