In addition to a handful of unofficial BlackBerry revival projects, a few companies are also working on making QWERTY phones popular again, and one of them is Unihertz. While Unihertz has a large portfolio of QWERTY phones, the company recently showcased a compact and handy model, called Titan 2 Elite, at MWC 2026 and has shared details about its availability.<\/p>\n<p>Before the Unihertz Titan 2 Elite is made widely available, the company is gauging interest with a Kickstarter campaign. The campaign, which went live only yesterday, already has more than 5,000 backers and roughly $2.6 million pledged at the time of writing, surpassing its initial $100,000 goal by 26 times.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(min-width: 64rem) 51.25rem, 80vw\" title=\"Screenshot 2026 03 26 at 4.25.39\u202fPM\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-at-4.25.39-PM-scaled.png 2560w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-at-4.25.39-PM-64w-33h.png 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-at-4.25.39-PM-1000w-509h.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-at-4.25.39-PM-1920w-977h.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-at-4.25.39-PM-1536w-781h.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-at-4.25.39-PM-675w-343h.png 675w\" alt=\"Unihertz Titan 2 Elite Pro Kickstarter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-at-4.25.39-PM-scaled.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Kickstarter page lists several different tiers, starting from $79, which only gets access to Unihertz\u2019s VIP club with early preview and information about new products, but not the actual phone, going all the way up to $4,690 for a \u201cwholesale bundle\u201d with 10 units of Titan 2 Elite Pro. A similar bundle with non-Pro variants costs $3,790.

The Titan 2 Elite is actually priced at $489 and is being sold for $389 a piece. Meanwhile, the Titan 2 Elite Pro will be available for $479 on Kickstarter, with the final price $579.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering about the differences between the two&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/unihertz-titan-2-elite-kickstarter-3652153\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Android phone with a QWERTY keyboard is already a hot seller https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/unihertz-titan-2-elite-kickstarter-3652153\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":227757,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Unihertz-Titan-2-Elite-in-hand.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[170,70],"class_list":["post-227756","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-blackberry","tag-google"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227756"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227756"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227756\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":227758,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227756\/revisions\/227758"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227756"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
