MWC 2026: This BlackBerry-like smartphone brings back physical keyboard and modern features

Every now and then somebody tries to emulate the good old days of BlackBerry phones with QWERTY keyboards. Last month we saw the Clicks Communicator, and now Unihertz has revealed its physical keyboard equipped Titan 2 Elite phone at the ongoing MWC 2026. It follows up the Titan 2  that debuted last year with few changes. 

Unihertz Titan 2 Elite key specifications

The Unihertz Titan 2 Elite is reminiscent of classic BlackBerry phones with a tactile physical keyboard and a compact form factor. The phone features a 4.03-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth viewing experience. There’s a punch-hole cutout at the top left side of the screen that accommodates a 32MP selfie snapper. 

The latest offering comes with a refined design compared to its predecessor which looked like BlackBerry Passport. It now has rounded edges, keyboard slants, and a slightly slimmer frame. The keys are touch sensitive, meaning, you can swipe your fingers on the keyboard to scroll or use as an on-screen pointer.

The Unihertz Titan 2 Elite has two 50MP cameras housed in a rectangular island on the back panel. There’s a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and also an action button. 

On the hardware front, the Unihertz Titan 2 Elite is reported to be equipped with a Dimensity 7400 chipset paired with 12GB RAM. It is expected to be backed by a 4,050mAh battery unit. The brand confirmed that the phone is eligible to receive five years of software updates up to Android 20.

The Unihertz Titan 2 Elite pricing hasn’t been revealed yet. It is offered in Orange and Black colours and will be up on kickstarter later this month.
