TL;DR

• Unihertz is showing its upcoming Titan 2 Elite smartphone at MWC 2026.
• The phone offers an integrated keypad, a 4.03‑inch OLED screen, and a Dimensity 7400 chip.
• The device will hit Kickstarter later this month.

There are limited options if you want a phone with a physical keypad, but Unihertz is one of the few companies still offering these devices. The company recently revealed that the keypad‑toting Titan 2 Elite is coming, and we went hands‑on at MWC 2026.

Hands‑on at MWC 2026

The Titan 2 Elite is scheduled to hit Kickstarter later this month, but the company already has working units on display at the show. The good news is that the Titan 2 Elite is much smaller than the gargantuan Titan 2, being more in line with the Clicks Communicator. So you don’t have to compromise on weight and size if you want an integrated keypad.

Keypad experience

The keys felt a little tiny for my liking, but I imagine I’d get more used to them with extended usage. I’m also glad to report that the keypad is touch‑sensitive, allowing me to scroll through webpages by simply swiping up or down on the keys. I always appreciated this feature on BlackBerry’s Android phones, so I’m glad it’s still present on the Titan 2 Elite.

Unihertz previously confirmed that the phone has a 4.03‑inch 120 Hz OLED screen (1080 × 1200), and the display seemed suitably bright under the lights of the show floor. The company also confirmed that the phone would receive five years of software updates, all the way to Android 20. Both the screen size and the update commitment mirror the Clicks Communicator.

Confirmed specifications

• MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset
• 12 GB RAM
• 4,050 mAh battery
• Dual 50 MP rear cameras
• 32 MP selfie shooter

The Unihertz Titan 2 Elite hits Kickstarter later this month. There’s no word on pricing yet, but it’s encouraging to see more keypad‑toting phones on the market.
