The Titan Pocket runs a bare-bones, vanilla version of Android 11. So if you’re in a Word document or webpage, swiping up and down on the keyboard will scroll up and down on the app. I love that the keyboard also doubles as a trackpad, though it only works for scrolling actions. But there’s raised texture to each key so once you get the hang of it, you should be able to type by touch. The keyboard, as mentioned, will feel odd to most people at first touch as they require a bit of force to press, and they’re on the small side. With a screen this small and square, you wouldn’t want to play games or watch Netflix with it anyway-although those apps ran without issues, too. This a mid-range processor usually seen in entry level phones, but it’s more than enough to power any productivity app from Microsoft or Google. Ben SinĪs for internals, the Titan Pocket has just modest specs: a MediaTek Helio P70 and 6GB of RAM. The rubber bumpers on the bottom of the device. The guys at Unihertz designed a workaround: a physical button that, when pressed, forces the screen into a rectangular aspect ratio by pillar-boxing (black bars on left and right side of the display) the on-screen content. The square aspect ratio is also a bit odd, as some apps which really prefer a longer aspect ratio, such as Instagram, will be cropped at the sides. It’s also not exactly high-res, at 716 x 720 resolution. But it also means the screen is really small: 3.1 inches. Such a small form factor has appeal as it can easily fit into the breast pocket of men’s button up shirts or a small purse.
Compared to modern smartphones, this is small (although it’s still a bit hefty at 215g). It’s not just the physical keyboard, but also its petite size: 5.22 x 2.88 x 0.66 inches. The Unihertz Titan Pocket is a throwback in every sense of the word. What about for younger people, those who grew up only knowing modern touchscreen smartphones? I’m not sure they’ll ever get used to pecking away at these physical keys again.īut then again, this phone is likely not for anyone under 30-perhaps even 40. But the keyword in the above paragraph is “regained,” because I had a five-year period in my life when I was a borderline expert at thumb typing on BlackBerry-type keyboards.
