The Unihertz Titan 2 Elite was supposed to get a Mobile World Congress unveiling, and that’s just what happened. It still has a little more hype-building to do before you’re able to buy one, though. Or, more accurately, back one.
The handset will go ‘on sale’ via a Kickstarter campaign later this month. The crowdfunding platform will likely act as a pre-order portal, with the phone available at retail outlets after the hype chills out. In the meantime, here’s what the phone will entail.
Titan 2 Elite’s inter-Dimensity travel
Some of the Titan 2 Elite’s specs were known, even if they issued from the company in a trickle. A Dimensity 7300 processor, 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage were waved around early on. A more official list pegs the processor as the Dimensity 7400, with the RAM and storage being spot-on. But there’s another, better version of the same phone — likely at a higher price. That one will include a Dimensity 8400. It’s not known if the RAM/storage allocations will change with the chipset.
The 120Hz 4.03in square-ish AMOLED (1,080 x 1,200) won’t be the brightest touchscreen ever, but the Titan 2 Elite’s major focus is the keyboard below the panel. A 4,050mAh battery drives the whole show, and it’s that spec that’s most disappointing. We’re used to seeing larger batteries in Unihertz phones. The inclusion of just 33W wired charging is also a downer, but it should still keep the phone topped up.
The rear cameras are a 50MP pair, with the exact lens details still under wraps. Unihertz is also going mass-market with its 32MP front-facing camera. You don’t throw that size in as an afterthought, so obviously, the Titan 2 Elite is expected to go places and do things.
Pricing will have to wait for that Kickstarter campaign to open. It will reportedly be more costly than the original Elite model’s R4 500 ($270) launch price point. Which… honestly, isn’t that bad at all.
