I poke fun at tech "enthusiasts" that pan and trash phones with "alternative" and unconventional features in this video. If your only reaction is "ugh Juan's TONE", and you're a little crybaby clutching your pearls at me offering some positive reactions to a NICHE device, then you are EXACTLY the kind of person I'm making fun of in this video. Tech should empower people, and we should maintain and celebrate options like these for folks who genuinely prefer OTHER kinds of devices. This is even more important when the potential sales for a device like this might only be THOUSANDS of units. It's critical in our community that we look beyond our own preferences, and call out lazy "popularity" reviewing when we see it. If you have legitimate critiques and wish to contribute to well rounded conversation on the merits of a device, I'll happily embrace that conversation. If you're just here to whine about my tone, you are INSTA-shadow-banned. No warnings.

I really miss having a physical keyboard on mobile devices. People with visual impairments like myself would probably like this phone. Having a tactile keyboard you can memorize makes typing quicker and cuts down on mistakes. And it's not always convenient using voice prompts-especially in public.

Being visually impaired I own BB key1, Blackberry Key2 and now Titan Slim too. BB key2 has special place in my heart, it has not gotton any update since 2019 though, still its daily driver for me as i am habitual to its nicest physical keyboard. I had the same expectation from Slim, but its keypad is not as cumfirtable as key2. Moreover titan slim will not get *ndroid 12 update therefore we will not be able to use double finger tab gestures of talkback. I am getting used to titan slim gradually but its hard to leave key2 at home while walking away or going to office. Slim was not available here in India, therefore had to import it from Germany

The touch keyboards aren't trash. Specifically if you're using Android. But I do see there's a market for people who use regular phone keyboards. But don't dump on phones like the pixel where the keyboard is extremely responsive with a great vibrative touch. I honestly think the phone in the video looks cool. I had a sort of Alcatel phone with the same premise back in like 2013 and it was dope. On a bad os. But dope

Titan was good, as was Titan Pocket (I have all three), but Titan Slim is the best typing experience since BlackBerry Key2.

I sat on the fence for a few months before making a purchase, due to mixed reviews from some users. I took the plunge a few weeks back and no regrets what's-over. Not sure what all the griping is about on this phone. I moved the camera away from the default settings and bumped up the resolution and the quality is just fine. If you want a wedding photo quality phone, this is not the one. If you want a keyboard phone...this is it. In addition, when the case cover is on, there is no problem typing and fit. As an avid former BlackBerry user, this phone fills the niche. I would not hesitate to recommend this phone to avid former BlackBerry users.

People like what they like, and I'm glad their might an option for them. I experienced Blackberry when it was full on Blackberry, OS and all. Typing experience was very different from what we were accustomed to; well, most of the world. Mine in the blackberry world is an experience too long to type, worthy of a video, I think. My question or concern would be the keyboard on this Unihertz. The initial look of it backs me say, if Blackberry were still around, I don't think that keyboard would win anyone over to it. But Blackberry isn't around, and this might be an option for some. Especially older people and their hands. Young man, you'll understand that one in the future.

I've come to like the dongle. There's more that goes into including a headphone jack than the port itself and it sacrifices space inside of a phone especially when it's small. Between small and cheap sound chips and the interference they experience, especially if you're charging, the sound quality usually isn't very good. Apple's type C dongle is the best you can get for a low price.

Since 2016 I'm using BlackBerry, Passport, Priv (when it dead I was like 😭😭) and actually Key2 for 4 years in 2 months. I will never go back to a complet screen touch, never. I'm happy they still exist phone with physical keyboard. I think I'll buy one to try to keep my key2 as long as possible in switching cause I really love my dear BB. I know it willnever replace my BB but if some people buy it maybe Unihertz will continu to make a keyboard phone and listen us for upgrade next generation. Yeah we are a niche but we exist 😢 When I buy a phone I don't care about performance, small screen or 5G (I just use YT in podcast mod, text message, call, maps, Brave, mail, wather, bank and DI radio for music so...) and the jack is not the most important, I prefer an original esthetic. Priv was the most fashion but when it was close It looked like the others. I love when I use my key2 and people tell me "BlackBerry ? It still exist ?" 😂 I love texting without looking my phone and make no mistake 😁

I find unihertz didn't market the phone enough, but because they weren't charging a lot for the cell they prolly didn't wanna invest a ton in marketing, if they would have hyped the phone ppl would have frowned at the quality. But like u say it's for a certain user type. For me it's waaaaaaay more then I need. I text mostly with the odd call , I don't use tons of apps , it's more than enough for me. I liked the key 1 and the bold , so I'm hoping it's not super hard to get used too. I got the Samsung galaxy and it's so thin it's hard to hold at the bottom the way u have too cause the buttons are at the bottom, so the titan slim being a bit thicker won't bother me. I really wanted the titan the rugged one , but I was afraid it would look too big , I worried it would look like an iPad. I'm in Canada so it is too much to send back . I wished I could see one in person cause I love the ruggedness of it , I'm a heavy equipment operator so rugged is good, but I still don't want something if it looks huuuuge. Is it stupid big ??

Good review. I would add using the Fn key as a control key is super useful. Ctrl A selects all the text. I use that -a lot-. Ctrl F for find in a document as well. I use that also -a lot-. And of course Ctrl C copy, V paste, and Z undo. I've disabled the double tap to home button because that happens too often accidentally. Hitting the square and then somewhere on the home screen to go home is a fine work around. The key shortcut for speed dialing specific people (for me the hospital that i work at). Double clicking the speed key to take screen shot is also useful for me and single press to put phone to sleep is also useful because the sleep button on the right seems like it's better placed on the right. I don't use the keyboard as a track pad. It's not that useful tbh. Yep and head phone jack would be useful. The memory at 256GB is fine. The front facing camera is way way too bad. It's used in video calling that can be for work so a business phone should also have a good camera. It's so bad it gives you like a zombie version of yourself. Not the impression you want to make. The rear facing camera is better and functional but again it won't be the one used to save memories because it needs perfect lighting to be good but for work it's a pretty good auto focus camera. The weird keyboard layout is annoying and hopefully one day they can use a standard computer layout keyboard which would be better. Kika keyboard has no non english spell check and the word suggestions don't show long words completely. That is such bad software.

@kboon can you tell me an about the quality of unihertz phones. I am kinda sceptical about the brand, haven't heard about it alot. My one plus 6t was amazing for like 5 years nothing went wrong with it, until I dropped and broke it's screen by accident. Do unihertz mobile work for years?

Of course the other demographic which is always overlooked by IT and designers, are those with disabilities, because we are a niche market. I have mostly used phones which have keyboards I really loved my blackberries priv , key one and key two, now I'm having to use a Samsung and I hate it, I have to type using voice which I spend most of my time correcting, it's just made my overall experience really clunky and slow. So I am looking for a replacement keyboard phone before I give up on phones all together.

It would be a good smartphone (for the Blackberry die hard fans) but it's not 5G. The headphone jack I can live without but not it not having 5G. The voice impersonations at the beginning of your review were impressive.
