Unihertz Titan Pocket Review(feat. A/S) : Trying to be the best Blackberry it can 

Yeah I switched to swiftkey because the autocorrect is so much better

You can also install a blackberry keyboard app apparently

@@blehbleh9283 Not anymore, it is not available. But if you have a way to reinstall the BlackBerry keyboard, please let us know!

That would have been a great combo honestly

Thanks for the comment 😂 Wow Note 10 huh there are times when I miss my 'normal' smartphone... mostly for security and the screen. But it's all forgiven for the typing experience and the $300 price tag lol

@@DayinTech I've enjoyed the Note 10 but ofcourse, its now a dated phone. My ideal phone is a small form factor phone of which my favourite were the Sony Compact series - which they unfortunately stopped. I can't handle big phones and have atimes, even struggled with the Note 10's size. That's what primarily attracted me to the Titan Pocket. I just wished they maxed it out with top specs eg, Snapdragon 855 or higher, Bluetooth 5.0 (rather than 4.1 @ a mediocre 1mbps), at least 8 gb ram and an Oled or amoled display. I wouldn't have minded even paying up to a £1k for such a small but powerful device.

I can totally see that. This would have been a dream phone with better specs and a slightly bigger screen. Is there a reason you're not going for the iPhone mini though? Sounds like your kind of device.

@@DayinTech IPhone isn't for me solely because of its non-open source nature that prevents modifications etc.

Hey bro, do you like the phone?

I can see that! Especially when using the phone one handed

Tried it but it just repeated the lettterrrrrrr OTL

this, like on Blackbverry which is a nice touch. literally., heh,

I get where you're coming from. Swapped my LG V50 screen two times. I think I would've chosen the bigger Titan too if it weren't for the lower SOC. I'm satisfied with the Titan Pocket for now but the absence of water and dust proofing is a shame.

I got the same iPhone bro , downgrading to this hope I’m making the right decision

Yeh trust me I know that feeling

Yes I meant to add a comment about that thank you 😂 So apparently the shift key or short press to capitalisation works well on the Titan Pocket in the "native software". Just not on third-party software like gboard. Although.. Microsoft's SwiftKey does seem to be the best option for people who use languages not supported in the native keyboard software.

Oh I think you're referring to the scene with widgets?

Appreciate the comment! Just tried it now and seems to work fine on my end. If this happens even with the GPS on.. might be a QA issue

Wow thats a big leap! My Titan Pocket still works great but the lack of software updates is rather concerning… still stuck in September 2022

😂 😂 I'm 100% with you till the last exclamation mark on that one bro. Big thanks!!

@@DayinTech Mister Kim, I used to have the first Unihertz Titan. But that was clunky and not in par with the software! I had all BB10 devices. We were catered back then. Software, OS, design, etc. The best was the Passport and Z30!!!! I had also the Key1 and Key2. So the Unihertz is basically not an option. But a great video, Mister! I rock a Galaxy Fold now and I am happy. Sadly Onward Mobility won’t bring us a new Blackberry. I wish you a great 2022. Keep the content and Charme coming.

Gosh its striking we have the exact taste in smartphones lol the z30 and passport were my favorites too. I also plan to get the next fold once that comes out. As for Onward Mobility… starting to think it was just a marketing hype. But yeh thanks again and wish you an awesome 2022!!

@@DayinTech John, yeah! I always loved having things, the masses don’t have. Masses run around with iPhones? I was the guy having a Blackberry! PKB versus typing on glass. Well, we lost. And now? Galaxy Fold! It is fun!!! Ice breaker for sure. I have also (under another name) a tech channel and do reviews. To be honest , it has been ages since I have done a video. I like your style. Thanks again!!!! Best!

What the.. where did my reply go 😂 Well to repeat what I wrote, the Call background is always green for me and I don't think you can change it... oh and its not a BB split screen app. I just put two big widgets on the homescreen to mimick BB10's homescreen!

@@DayinTech Alright. Thanks for the info.

Indeed.. just wish the phone had more software support

Currently, the phone is running a security patch from.. 2022(September? I forgot) 😞 so I'm going to have to say no

Wow never thought of this comparison before. Yes from what i see the Pocket does have the better camera with sharper details and better HDR.

Ah a legendary phone, envy you bro

@@DayinTech replace the battery last year but sooner or later the cell phone is 6 years old in April for me. So figure start to look. i wish the key2 was avaiable on my network

@@bonn1771 wow 6 years huh? That's crazy 👍👍

Of course, it's working really well. It's just that the security patch is 8 months behind..

@@DayinTech Thank you. I'll take my chances and hope they come through with a patch one day!

Hmm thats tricky. I think it's best to ask Unihertz the bands compatible with the phone

Unfortunately, I don't use Google wallet 😕

It does have nfc if that helps!

thanks@@DayinTech

I think it depends on the app! My banking app worked fine but my stock app was really cramped and unusable

But then again the security patch is like from a year ago. So I moved all my banking stuff to my iPhone

@@DayinTech thank you, this was important

No problem!

Hey that was me two months ago

Dragon ball 😂..? Um None

@@DayinTech @5.44

Oh I see lol that’s a clip from Unihertz's promo. It does look cool tho

😂 Yea and the launcher seems light enough that it doesn't slow down the phone too.

​@@DayinTech Yeap Feels smooth. Try that launcher with whicons icon pack with a dark theme. Looks dope. oh lol nvm. I see u using it :D

@@saratchandramv1886 haha Yea and it's great to see whicons covering so many app icons

@@DayinTech Wow, now i love much more my Pocket. I did not about this launcher, it works so good! thanks for showing it, not like other regular review all stock but with your own customization.

Yup!

Well its the same issues that arise from phones with overdue security patches. I'm not a huge expert on this but from what little I know, when there is a breach or a bug in software, developers will "patch" them up. And the Titan Pocket hasn't received that for 8 mths.

@@DayinTech how is it now?

Sorry I don't own the bigger Titan so I can't confirm that..

ohh do you mean for the navigation app? That ad is in the app itself so no need to worry!

@@DayinTech yeah if anything i'd rather just go with a basic GPS coordinates software, unless you know an «app» that embeds its own maps and be used offline? I don't know much what is available for android terminals.

Indeed for Android I guess Google maps?

@@DayinTech hm i'll stick with the navman i'm hooking to my bike. hate the idea of being tracked by Google wherever I go, or even turn data/GSM services on when I don't need them.

Nope, the led is only available for charging, battery low indicator, missed notifications, messaging and calls. Also, the colors are limited to just red, green, blue :)

@@DayinTech okays thanks I am thinking about it. Still would be better software than passport so its a great alternative

@MikeMcgaskey Yeah, the keyboard is still going strong! Just keep in mind the security patch is from 2022 September..

Thanks for the mention! Yup that's the keyboard app I'm using now

Nope. But Microsoft swiftkey is a great alternative!

Yes

I'm afraid so 😂😂 just dying to read all about it

@@DayinTech god damn it! OK here's what I said, minus the Reddit links. SUPER excited that you got a working copy of the Titan Pocket and uploaded your review! I actually use Niagara launcher on my Android device right now as well so it was super cool to see you use that on the Titan Pocket. I had 1 question about that actually: I saw in the video when you pressed "t" you were able to jump straight into the app search. But do you know if you have an app shortcut set for "t" would it launch the app instead? Debating just not setting shortcuts cause going directly into search seems more useful actually. Regarding the issues/questions mentioned in your review: Having to hold the shift key down: I read that it's a bug if you have your keyboard layout set to anything that's not the "default" layout. If you switch it to "default", it should let you press shift then another key without having to hold down shift. Also there is a setting to swap the locations of shift and alt, if you prefer shift on the upper-right instead. Fn key: by default if you press fn + any key it will launch the app shortcut for that key, even while you're not on the home screen. However, if you go into intelligent assist in the settings, you can set this to be a "ctrl" key instead so that you can use shortcuts like ctrl + a, ctrl + c, etc. Hopefully that helps! Let me know if that fixes the shift key. Planning on getting one of these really soon myself.

@nintendonarutofan Gosh you are a god send! Thanks for rewriting it 😂 I used keyboard shortcuts at first but personally I found universal search to be a more simpler solution. Apparently that shift bug only comes out if you use a nonnative keyboard 😂 like you said the default keyboard works fine! I guess I have to hope for more supported languages then. and ohh now i see the point of the fn key.. Set it to ctrl for now lol Thanks a million brother! Hope you get your unit soon.

@@DayinTech yeah hopefully they fix the shift bug for the other languages!!!

It was for me too, but once I broke into the keys it got a lot better :)

@@DayinTech good to know. Thanks for the response 😃

Sounds like a dream. I would still use BB10 right now.

That would be fun! I'll definitely try that once I get some room in my calendar. Thx for the comment

3.1 inches is pretty small.. Personally waiting for the Titan 2 with a 4.5 inch screen

@@DayinTech you are right ... I was talking about the pocket one.. but the ratio recommendation is for both...

@@DayinTech is titan 2 coming?

@@henrikgustav2294 I.. Wish lol no news on a Titan sequal

Yes gmail works just fine!

Sorry you had to go through with that... did you try to DM the unihertz account on Instagram?
