I've been reviewing Unihertz phones since the Atom came out in 2018, and I've always enjoyed its affordable, if niche, devices. For the past few weeks, I've been testing its latest model: the Unihertz Titan 2 Elite, and can confidently say it's the best phone Unihertz has ever made.

One of the biggest reasons is the physical keyboard. Unihertz seems to be capitalizing on the excitement surrounding a return to keys -- highlighted by the Clicks Communicator, first shown at CES in January (but still not available).

The second is the Titan 2 Elite's sleek form factor. Unlike past Unihertz phones, which tended to be bulkier than the competition, the Titan 2 Elite is much thinner: about the same width as an iPhone 17 but about three-fourths as long.
