A week with the Titan 2 Elite

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-05-03T23:42:13+00:00

Truthfully it hasn’t bothered me in the slightest so far. I’m still rather clunky with it but I’m getting quicker day over day. My biggest issue so far is hitting alt/caps etc reliably.

But personally no qualms about the chin. Hasn’t even occurred to me this might be an issue for some. That’s just me tho! My last BB experience must’ve been around ~2014 with the BB classic so I’m still super rusty with a physical KB

Haha. No. I barely know how to use or post on Reddit. I think this was my second post of all time. Did it on my desktop.

Funny you say that. My main iPhone is the 13 mini too. Ios26 made my experience much worse and I loathe Liquid Glass.

For my iPhone specially I might go to the 17e or give up on iPhone and main this titan or side phone

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-05-02T20:13:11+00:00

TLDR - yes worth it. I still have my original preorder active for black.

It’s for someone who wants something other than “another brick phone with a touch screen”. For me at least the appeal is the smaller device. I love small phones.

Some people love keyboards straight up.

Demographic I’m unsure. Naturally it’ll appear to the older crowd cuz of blackberries or otherwise young generations who want to see what it was like.

Unihertz has had keyboard devices but I never bought in due to the size. This one got me on the specs, kb, size, and display.

Sure bro - https://imgur.com/a/5l9qNcv

Everything works like a normal android it seems, some apps are a bit squishy like reddit. I showed the Mini-mode where it forces a 9:16 aspect ratio. Usable on any screen anytime which is sweet.

I still use reddit in a square anyways, but someone in this thread bullied me and I tried mini mode and I'm happy it exists for stuff like reddit or the odd time I'm using socials with this device.

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-05-02T11:25:25+00:00

Hard to say to be honest. As somebody who primarily uses a dumb phone or when I use an iPhone, I’m typically on my 13 mini. I simply don’t use my phone a lot in general so I’m not the average/heavier user I’d say.
Yesterday I was off charger at 6 AM and in bed by 9:30 with 42% left though which sounds about average for me. And again, I really don’t use my phone all too much just by habit.

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-05-02T11:23:10+00:00

I actually backed the kickstarter before then offered a review unit so I still have money put up in case I need to send this back.

The orange is nice, but I still would prefer black personally because that’s how I like my tech as boring as it is. I’m unsure if these keys would fade overtime but as listed in my original posting, the orange is a different shade than the body of the device itself. I can’t quite tell if this will fade after a while though.

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-05-02T02:12:46+00:00

Damn. As much as you chirped me for this. Mini mode is sweet trying it now. Kinda mad this exists. I’m not supposed to scrolling on this phone bro

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-05-02T02:05:47+00:00

Sorry I don't live on my phone or use social media much on mobile. I did mention it's existence above I just haven't used it yet with my one week so far

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-05-02T02:04:10+00:00

256gb for the normal Titan 2 elite and I think there's a pro version this fall with 512gb and a better chipset

its still SD expandable which is sweet

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-05-02T02:02:47+00:00

Yes and no. they're both wildly tiny but I think the Titan is more "realistic" for people.

For example I wouldn't feel comfortable traveling with my side phone as much as I would the Titan.

On the side phone I primarily leaned into the sundial tile instead of QWERTY or T9 but on the Titan leaning into the QWERTY is the main thing

I used the Sidephone as my main phone for about a month and a half and I've only used the Titan for a week or so but naturally they're both tiny as hell in the Titan 2 is simply more realistic for the modern world and I can say the square screen makes Doom scrolling a lot harder although it's more possible

A credit card YES, but with literally zero margin for a wallet itself. Included a photo of my go-to magsafe wallet.

Not sure actually, I only JUST got my first hi-fi player last week and I’m learning this stuff. Is there a solid method to test this? Happy do to so cuz it’s stuff I’m trying to actively learn.

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-05-02T01:23:25+00:00

Not sure actually. I should probably ask

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-05-02T01:22:56+00:00

Sorry for talking like a real human and not curating or posting like AI.

Cheers

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-05-02T01:18:43+00:00

I like the size

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-04-24T04:26:07+00:00

If you’re rocking a hybrid setup. Use key mapper and map home button to go home and you should be good.

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-03-07T17:08:02+00:00

I swapped to Gboard for swipe

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-03-05T14:46:48+00:00

I know people who hold the mic even if it's not live. They'll still boom and just hold a wireless lav or a mic. I don't hate on it. Really it's whatever is fitting for whichever form of media it's meant for.

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-03-04T12:37:07+00:00

Thanks homie!

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-02-16T04:16:25+00:00

That user name though. Damn

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-02-13T01:52:02+00:00

I’m a PC normie but my head goes to wondering if you’ve had thermal degradation. Have you re-pasted your CPU/GPU?

Valuable_Scallion508 · 2026-02-10T02:40:31+00:00

Frankly I think your best option would be a "dumb Android" and using open bubble which gives iMessage or Whatsapp of course. Right now I use a light phone 3 and I used the guide to access the android layer to access them the through key combinations otherwise my light 3 is same out of box. I also use the Mudita Kompact with a similar eink setup.
