Unihertz Tank review: 100 days on a single charge
The Unihertz Tank delivers up to 100 days on a single charge and better performance than most rugged smartphones
Rugged smartphones tend to only be good at one thing: being rugged. They can survive going through a window, but scrolling Instagram or watching videos on a decent display is often too much to ask. It’s that perception that the Unihertz Tank is seeking to change. It has all the qualities you want in a good rugged device without losing out on essential smartphone features.
Unihertz Titan Slim review: Back to the future
This is how we imagined future smartphones back in 2005, and no, it’s not beautiful
Unihertz is known for its quirky, special interest phones that it builds to please a small target audience. Just look at the prohibitively small Jelly 2 or the ruggedized keyboard warrior Titan Pocket. If these kinds of products are up your alley, you might also be interested in the company’s latest contender, the Unihertz Titan Slim. It comes with its fair share of issues and compromises, but if you absolutely need a physical keyboard paired with a somewhat decently sized screen, the ~$250 Slim might just be for you—in fact, it might be pretty much the only option left on the market.
Unihertz Titan Slim may be the phone for those still upset about the BlackBerry 5G
The Titan Slim looks quite like a BlackBerry KEY2
A 5G BlackBerry phone was promised by OnwardMobility way back in 2020, but the company confirmed in February that it wouldn't be releasing the highly anticipated phone. Now, Unihertz is one of the few brands making QWERTY keyboard phones, and an announcement from the company has confirmed another is on the way soon. It's called the Titan Slim, and the company plans to start a Kickstarter campaign for the handset in May.
Unihertz Titan Pocket review, one month later: Nostalgic nerd novelty
The 2000s called, they want their phone back
Read update
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.
Unihertz Jelly 2 review: Size matters
I'm explicitly told I can't make any jokes about putting this phone up your butt
A small but vocal group of us continue to feel defeated by the ever-expanding size of mainstream smartphones. The "good old days" of smaller screens really are starting to feel like a time long past, barely a glimmer on the horizon of technology's rapid advance in the smartphone era. If you're one of these people willing to put their money where there mouth is and actually buy a "tiny" phone, there are options—like the dinky Unihertz Jelly 2 with its 3" screen. While I enjoyed the previous Unihertrz Jelly Pro (which I bought for myself as a gag, but did not review for Android Police), it was a novelty I honestly couldn't recommend. But the Jelly 2 does a half-decent job as an actual phone, elevating it beyond a mere novelty.
About a month has passed since our last TWRP installment, and several more Android devices have joined the ranks since then. This time around, new entrants include the HTC U12+, Xiaomi's Mi Max 3, the minuscule Unihertz Jelly Pro, as well as some Samsung and ZTE Nubia phones.
