- This is my review of the Unihertz Pocket one month later! After using the Titan Pocket for one month, these are my thoughts. amzn.to/3kKR2HQ (Unihertz Titan - Amazon Affiliate Link)
This is my long term review of the Unihertz Titan Pocket after using it for the last month. I made my initial Unihertz Titan Pocket review and this is the follow up another month since my last review. The Unihertz Titan Pocket is the latest and greatest android smartphone with a physical keyboard and looks very much like a BlackBerry Classic, but it's not. The Unihertz Titan Pocket runs Android 11 and has a lot of neat things going for it, especially the $299 price tag once you can pick one up later this year.

I miss real BB/RIM devices. I think they just simply waited too long or didn't put enough/any marketing toward regular people and were banking on their enterprise services to carry them.
Jon Chen destroyed BlackBerry on purpose. China does that. note : he never ever owned or used one anyways.
100%
Holding on to my Blackberry till they day it finally dies and cannot be repaired. That is how much of a great phone it is. Still have one older BlackBerry stored as a backup too.
The elephant in the room (always) is what carrier(s) does it work with?....
I wish they made a slimmer, more elegant version. Similar to what we had with blackberry
100%
I think this phone design is really helpful when people go for outdoor works like plumpbing , construction , mechanic works etc. Easy to take calls due to the presence of physical buttons.
I trade crypto and i need that one button click to pop up my trades ..
Love it. I hate social media. I went from being super tech savvy and having the latest greatest to buy the cheapest phone and not giving a crap about the internet cuz it's stupid. I miss the old early 2000s or late 90s and it was simple it was highest and people are actually knew how to use the internet inside us being a bunch of sheep and followers being catfished, fest, Hoodwinked and phished. SIMPLICITY is making a comeback.
Truth
OMG! ARE YOU ME???? Agree 100%!!!
Got it for 2 weeks now, the battery is great! Lasted 2 days, on day 3 still 40% capacity left.
Using it for texting 90% of the time.
Nice. Glad it’s working out for you
Updates will kill it to a point of no return and all features Unihertz promised you in the beginning will disappear into thin air. Helas I speak from experience, because that is what had happened to me during these last three months. :'(
__ Never trust Unihertz.
I agree with you fella, there are loads of people who just want a device to make calls, send texts, send more dvanced messages (whatsapp/fb messenger), email with it, and maybe just play entertaining 'time killer' games... and that phone looks unique, I personally would be happy with the Titan pocket, or even the full tank Titan! And going on the section where you showed off the shortcut keys, the time it took to load the app after you pressed the key, seemed quick enough for me, and I guess, a lot of people..... 😏😎
Thank you for touching upon the phone / voice/speaker aspects. I have watched so many videos that point out all the other aspects but for those of us oldies who still want to use our phone for decent sound quality conversations...you hit the mark. Yay!!!!🌠
Awesome. Glad I could help
Thank you for your Titan Pocket coverage! I appreciate it!!
You’re welcome.
I wish Unihertz could find an alternative to the SOC manufacturer to allow the community to develop a custom ROM, providing better update support, like what happens with LineageOS-supported devices
If OM doesn't have a timeline by the time this is available I will buy it
OM?

These evaluations are important to those of us who are with AT&T and know the support will end with the Blackberry Key2 soon. Thank you.
You are welcome
@@TechOdyssey support is ending for key2?
@@michaelryan1620 Yes, because AT&T never sold the device. The KEYOne will still work though.
If Key2 gets kicked off of AT&T, this isn't likely to work either.
@@autumnvolume4181 How is it that the KEYOne will work but not the Key2?
thank you for the excellent review and constant follow up !
*Maybe a BlackBerry Classic should make sweet android love ❤ to a Unihertz Titan Pocket and produce a PocketBerry. Now, that would be a sexy phone. Please keep your hands out of my pockets. Ohhh Hertz so good !!!!! 😁*
It’s really a cool phonefor someone who just needs a communication device
My last BB was Q10. Just ordered the Titan Pocket and hopefully downloading the BB android apps and get some of the BB functionality alongside Android. Thanks for the review very good perspective.
Which carrier did u use ?
Awesome, thanks once again for a great update on the Titan Pocket. It makes the wait for the product shipping a little bit more manageable. I've been eagerly awaiting a new PKB phone!
I wonder if the radio antenna in this phone is good enough for the areas with weak signal. Antennas (the planar ones) were always the strong point of Blackberries...
That small screen is the perfect aspect ratio for retro gaming, it would be interesting to know if citra android 3ds emulator runs on it or not. It does run on the blackberry key 2.
I have tried it. No, Citra does not work on it. Also, the keypad is a little to cramped to be used as a gamepad :(
It has Bluetooth, so you might work an independent controller.🤷🏿♀️
Just imagine if Blackberry and unihertz did a collab - now that would be pretty cool if they came together - and that will likely happen before we see the onward mobility BB - Love the video as always :)
Thanks for the brilliant Titan Pocket review and videos. If OM doesn't have a 2021 "Classic" I will get a Titan Pocket
Thanks for the review! As much as I would like buy the Titan Pocket, I think the Titan would better for me for the ability to see content and android apps. I can’t wait for the Titan vs Titan Pocket review!
He doesn't have the Titan so you'll be waiting a long time lol
Using a gameboy emulator will be amazing on this lmao
May I know if u r selling it?
I did they did a great job though. It brings back memories. The older I get, I realize I don’t need a whole lot or tech. This phone meets that sweet spot. Ya’ feel me? 🤷🏾♂️🧔🏾♂️☝🏾
I agree with you, that the screen should actually fill the whole space there is/seems to be. That is my biggest concern. Still excited though.
i’m kinda glad social media doesn’t work well on that phone 🤷🏼
its nice to see other youtubers who produce canon android phone lore like myself
Great video. I want basically a jelly 2 with built in gaming controls. I have a normal jelly 2 now. My original phone ever was the Nokia N900. I loved that phone.
Did you get to use the original Titan for this long? How was that?
I like the form factor but think the pocket is too small for me and would like to go for the titan
My main problem with the Titan is that it's too heavy to have in the pocket on my thin summer trousers, and that it hurts when you drop it in your face while laying on your back on the bed. I'm looking forward to the Pocket to see if it can at least fix one of those problems :-)
I thought I was the only one on the planet with "face drops" , ha ... thanks for the 😂🤙
I am on Titan due to unbeatble screen size/raation which I beloved on passport already. Anyway, I backed it from almost day one, let's see how i will fit with it. But the real truth behind my purchase is that I am a BBaddicted, so no matter if this (or titan) are just similar, i need to have. Sometimes I feel like gost on an movie: dead alredy but something keep him chained at his home... Hoping for Onward Mobility salvation, in my case😁
How are you liking it?
@@kevinbothwell8425 yes, it worth to be in the collection. Its size make it so cute. I am using it as second device on weekends. Being addicted at Titan screen size, this one is too small to be the daily driver of my job.
Brilliant review, nice tiny keyboard phone! 🤗👏
Thank you!
I was on love with xperia mini Pro. I still am although I can't use it anymore. This phone gives me hope agai because I am after a tiny qwerty phone like the Sony.
How "hot" does this phone run?
Can you do a review of the titan vs the pocket
Sorry. I can’t. I don’t have the Titan
I would like to see that comparison also!
The only thing missing is the tool bar buttons the call key and end call key
Nice review! Thanks for this! I’m totally ordering this phone asap! ♥️
Fuck, if we hit 2022 blackberry should just license to Unihertz instead.
Instead of 1*1 ratio, 3.1 inch screen ..If the screen ratio is 4*3 wide , 3.5 inch ,it will be more ergonomically pleasant... I think it take away the phones attractiveness when the screen is square.. if you notice blackberries downfall began when they changed there screen ratio to 1*1 square screen from 3*4 wide screen ...
My worries. It's yet another random Chinese company. Is it secure? How long will the device be updated?
answer plz
Man, I just hope they make an update to the original Titan. I prefer the size and resolution, but the Helio P60 is definitely not ideal for that resolution, and it would be nice to have better celluar band support.
God I love that social media content enjoyment is minimized. Make it less addicting
Still waiting for BlackBerry!!!! Can’t believe it’s not out yet !
You're gonna have a long wait. Obviously, you didn't get the memo.... NO new Blackberries.
Clearly…. And that post is from 8 months ago. Thanks tips….
I would love a non ruggedized version like a "Titan Pocket Slim" or something. it's nice to have it be rugged but those aren't always for everyone
so what phone with a physical keyboard is avail for att besides this on????
Nothing new and not many to choose from
One year later. This is about as good as it gets. Do not like ki ka system of alphabet designation. Android is ok but it's not BB OS 10, sadly missed. Am not a social media junkie. All in all a good phone. Thank you Unihertz.
Does the Unihertz Titan Pocket have software update? What is the latest android update for this cellphone? Does it able update to Android 14?? Please let me know.
r of BB for over 20 years, I am really tempted by this phone. (I currently have a 4 year old Key2; no updates now for Android 7 battery is struggling).
Is there any more news on the Titan Pocket for 2022/23, e.g. Latest Android Updates, 5G capability, Security etc. I will wait 2023 IF this is planned.
How about Outlook and SMS - can we see a typing demo on a virtual screen?
great review, tks! worth to own it $299 as 2nd phone?
I can't wait to get mine. I plan to use the same launcher I use on my Jelly 2, which is an early access launcher called Indistractable, which is a simple white text on black text based launcher. Also, Unihertz is selling a TPU case for this device. Also, a somewhat selfish idea, can you do a video where you "model" the phone, like hold it up to your ear, hold it in one hand, mock typing etc? Also, fuck At and T. Glad I switched.
That launcher is very cool, thanks for sharing 👍
@@theodenking169 Of course my liege.
Great video! Wish you would have discussed how it does with TH-cam. I use a good percentage of my cell time just watching videos. So....how is it with videos?
This is all i want to know as well
I'm wanting this Pocket, but if they've dropped 3G, is it 5G capable? That's what just made my Key2 stop working as a regular phone, despite all other functions still going.
No. It's not 5G
@@TechOdyssey They really missed out here. Not forward thinking enough to use 5G...
Hi, I have a question about the possibility to customize each button on the qwerty-keyboard.
Is it possible to assign a function (like FN, SHIFT, ALT & SYM) to a key, when "long-pressing"?
Thank you very much in advance for your answer!
This might help with the convenience and muscle-memory of the keyboard!?!?!?
Ordered the phone today, finally after being unavailable for so many times I finally got it. I love the Titan, but this one will be even better because it's more like a BlackBerry and it's smaller.
I have one question, though. The keyboard scrolling on the Titan was kinda wonky and would stop working properly pretty quickly, has this one improved on it in any sense?
Mint mobile will work on 4g ?
Yes
The Titan Pocket is great in so many ways but modern apps just dont work well on the screen. If Unihertz ever makes a phone with a slider keyboard they will get my money so fast.
Your title says Titan Titan, not Titan Pocket. Just trying to be helpful. Great job, BTW! Really love your content.
I just saw that myself and fixed it. This kids is why you don’t mess with TH-cam settings at 4am 😂
Hey Adam really cool military photos ,and thank you for your service, and cool video me and my wife always had the blackberry phones. Then switched to Samsung,
Can you use control C for copy and control V for paste? Can you double tap the keyboard to get a cursor to appear.
do you know how to type number and ? on physical keyboard?
Thanks for this. Just got one.
How do you work the red smart key?
You can customize it in the settings do do stuff like open the camera, turn on the flashlight, enable google assist, etc…
I think its important to have IT because people are impressionable to our habitat and environment it helps keep information safe from forensic errors but its a lil risky . Is our details really safe and steady where we think its locked up in?,)))
Reminds me of the TMobile Dash black more than a Blackberry even though they emulate the Blackberry
Nice review man. Thanks. Question... Is the keyboard of the pocket titan better than the original Titan? Thanks man.
Personally I think so
Thanks for the review. Sounds interesting but the U-J-B layout (instead of U-J-N or U-J-M which would be normal) prevents me from buying it.
Can you do a comparison video of the titan and the titan pocket?
waiting for a good AT&T replacement myself
there isnt one with keyboard
Yo! I don't know how much influence you have, but I am literally begging you here, PLEASE tell Unihertz to make a sequel to the Titan or Titan Pocket. I hate the slim, don't want that. I want a rugged and upgraded Titan or Pocket.
Thank you
$299? The price is $350 now.
I´ve used Titan before and was okay with the size and also had a BB Classic.
I want to buy this or the old Titan. Is this keyboard too small? Is the old Titan still worth getting? Thank you
In 2024 I want to sell my flagship phone and get 2 Unihertz phones. I like their character and vibe
This will be my back-up phone purchase if the new BlackBerry doesn't come out this year. It looks like a sweet device, but I'm really hoping it won't come to it. Come on, BlackBerry!! Let's go!
Unihertz just teased a new keyboard cell phone. Similar shape to the Key2
😎😈
The "Slim". (but not so slim).
How is it playing old school emulators on that keyboard? Like SNES or PlayStation. The screen proportion seems perfect for that
Great question 😁
Exactly what I was wondering!
Unihertz is the new BlackBerry. Change my mind. 😏
Lol. They're a bit different.
I wouldn't put my bank details in the Unihertz. Change my mind 😅
@@TechOdyssey way way diffrent one is a hardware company and one makes enterprise and security software d
@@gloriouskatatsumuri I wouldn't put my bank details in my Blackberry or any other phone for that matter..
Can it run banking and stock exchange applications without any problems? i.e. vertical applications
I need a second phone besides my iphone what you recomend me a titan/titan pocket or blackberry key2? Thanks
Does it work with cricket wireless carrier?
Cool! Thanks for this info. I think that my Blackberry KeyOne is too big, so I'm looking for a smaller phone.
Does it have keyboard shortcuts similar to bb? As example, D for notes, L for calendar etc? I don't care if they use different keys but would like something. If Onward Mobil doesn't come out with a phone I think this Titan might be good (or even better/ cheaper) for my needs
It does have. Didn't you watch the video?
You can set each key as a shortcut to whatever you want. Very programmable
It does, but I use the BB Launcher and it works great. Do not have any icons on my home screen. Everything is programmed into the keyboard.
@@cincyeast5273 I'm not the one who asked the question.
@@cincyeast5273 oops! My bad.
Are you able to download the BB hub on this phone? I want to replicate the BB experience as much as possible. Four attributes of BB I don't want to live without: physical keyboard, hub, gorilla glass (never had a broken phone in 15 years) and security. Does Deltek come with this phone? What security software does the phone use? Can you do another video showing us the typing experience and launching a text message or email? Thanks.
I need to know this too. BB Hub is great!
I found fn key useful for switching apps. press fn key and ur preset shortcut key at the same time. but sym key seems of no use at all. in "shortcut settings" they say sym key requires IME support. I have no idea what IME is. do u know what sym key is for?
I cancelled my Titian Pocket and bought the Surface Duo. 256gb for 450$, I couldn't stop myself.
Nice! Hopefully you enjoy it.
I got the unihertz Titan Pocket. Honestly, it is worse than the key2 in every possible way except battery life. It is still very very clunky in your pants pocket. There is a massive bulge in your pants that looks awful, and it still seems a lot heavier, in your pants, than it should be considering the actual weight of it (I think it is 216g vs key2 at 169g). However the key2 is way way way more pocket friendly, it is hard to even tell I have a phone in my pocket with the key2, while the titan pocket is this huge huge bulge in my pants. And try sitting down. The feel of the titan in your pants pocket is 400-500g. That's a huge deal unless you don't carry your phone in your pants pocket. The keyboard is ok, but not as nice to type on as the key2. The key2 is able to run the citra 3ds emulator, the pocket is not. My titan pocket would not scroll using the keyboard even though it is advertised that it does and I was not able to figure out how to scroll by swiping my thumb across the keyboard. Key 2 you can. You can scroll with web browsers using the spacebar and shift + spacebar on both devices. The battery life is really something though, better than any other phone I've ever tried or had. It is much more enjoyable to read even just text on the larger screen of the key2. So with the titan pocket, I hope you have really good eyes. I had to increase the font size. But still there is a reason why chunky phones are not sold. People don't like them. In the end, we are talking about MOBILE devices, not tablets that you have to store in a bag or purse. If I had space I would just use a tablet or a laptop, why wouldn't I? It is all about mobility for phones. This is about as practical for your pocket as carrying a switch lite (i.e. not very practical at all). So it is kind of funny they call it the titan pocket when it is the worse phone I've ever tried for my pocket, with the exception of the original unihertz titan. I turned off the animation scale on my key2 and uninstalled all unneeded apps and it is very snappy. Why would I need android 11? Don't see any benefit, although maybe someone has a benefit in mind. I would recommend getting a used key2 instead, I found one (my old key2 spacebar broke) for about $350.
Does the test unit you're using now get hd voice on AT&T? Have you tested it, I mean, not just should it be capable.
Currently it does, yes
These aren't likely to work on AT&T in the near future. I think the future for unlocked phones is sketchy.
@@petey80 why? its 4g
@@AA-ih6kt AT&T is preparing to not allow any devices that they didn't sell.
I think, that is a good smart phone for my work.
Good, ❤️ tis Can we buy in india & support Indian band.?
Dwayne Johnson is to Titan as Mark Whalberg is to Titan Pocket... nice!
Would you say BlackBerry Key 2 or BlackBerry phones is to James Bond or Mission Impossible agent? :)
Haha. Nice. Maybe Pierce Brosnan jakes bond.
Is it compatible with apple airpods?
Yes
Of course. AirPods are a BT headphone and Titan supports Bluetooth.
@@nmatavka great!!
Does anyone know if this works with firstnet ?
I bought this phone and really enjoy it. My only issue is that I can’t receive any picture messages or listen to voice notes(had no issue on my old phone ). Any suggestions on how to fix it?

@@TechOdyssey wow!! Greatly appreciate your response! Verizon
@@devoiryweiser8895 is it Verizon Verizon, or a phone company that used Verizon's towers? And sure thing. You're welcome.
