"The release of the iPhone in 2007 marked the beginning of the end of the BlackBerry era. The prospect of on-screen keys was undeniable, and the trend of having a pocket PC left everyone dazed over the years as smartphones evolved into their best version, year after year, for decades. However, things then go full circle, and we are plateauing with what bezelless smartphones can offer."
"That tactile feel of typing with the physical buttons is reviving for good reason, and Unihertz brought back nostalgic memories of the Passport for good. The full QWERTY keyboard of the phone with a 1:1 aspect ratio was a refreshing introduction to the stale smartphone market dominated by phones that more or less look and feel the same, with few incremental hardware updates that one can hardly drool over."
iPhone's 2007 release initiated the decline of BlackBerry by popularizing on-screen keyboards and pocket PCs. Smartphone design advanced for decades but now approaches a bezelless plateau. Physical QWERTY keyboards are experiencing renewed interest for tactile typing and productivity. Unihertz revived nostalgic Passport-style layouts and continues that focus with the Titan 2 Elite. The Titan 2 Elite refines the Titan line with thinner bezels, a curved display, and a corner punch-hole camera, while repositioning navigation keys beside the spacebar to reduce overall size. The device will use a MediaTek Dimensity 7300, include 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, and likely keep an AMOLED screen and a 5,000mAh battery.
