Unihertz Titan 2 Elite is now available for global pre-order, bringing back the physical keyboard smartphone
The Unihertz Titan 2 Elite has officially moved beyond crowdfunding and is now available to pre-order worldwide. Designed for users who still love the feel of real keys, the compact Android smartphone blends modern hardware with a built-in physical keyboard, making it an appealing option for fans of classic BlackBerry-style devices.
Unihertz recently completed its Titan 2 Elite crowdfunding campaign, and the response was strong. Across the Titan 2 Elite and Titan 2 Elite Pro models, the campaign raised more than $4 million from over 8,500 backers in just 50 days. The company expects to begin shipping units to crowdfunding supporters in June 2026.
For buyers who missed the campaign, there is still a way to secure the device. Unihertz is now taking direct pre-orders for both versions, giving users another route to purchase the keyboard-equipped smartphone without relying on the crowdfunding process.
The standard Titan 2 Elite is currently priced at $489.99. That is a noticeable increase from its early crowdfunding price of $349.99, marking a jump of around 40%. The Titan 2 Elite Pro is listed at $579.99, which is $140 higher than its initial campaign price and represents an increase of roughly 30%.
The Pro version adds several upgrades for the extra $90. Buyers get twice the storage, a faster chipset, and an optically stabilized main camera, making it the better choice for users who want stronger performance and improved photography features.
The Titan 2 Elite will be offered in two color options: Black and Orange. According to Unihertz, pre-orders for the standard model are expected to start shipping in August 2026. The Titan 2 Elite Pro will take longer, with current pre-orders scheduled for fulfillment in December 2026.
With compact phones becoming increasingly rare and physical keyboard smartphones nearly disappearing from the market, the Titan 2 Elite stands out as a unique device. It targets users who want a practical typing experience, pocket-friendly size, and modern smartphone functionality in one package.
For anyone who misses the days of tactile mobile typing but still wants an Android device built for today, the Unihertz Titan 2 Elite could be one of the most interesting smartphone releases of 2026.
