Protection against dust and moisture is not declared anywhere. But knowing the products of the Unihertz brand, it can be assumed that the Titan Pocket smartphone has at least IP67. The manufacturer also stated that the smartphone operates on 4G networks.
Titan Pocket vs BlackBerry
Firstly, comparing a budget device with the products of the Canadian brand BlackBerry makes no sense. Even if the Titan Pocket has the top hardware, it will never surpass the capabilities offered by the “berry” brand.
And then there is the keyboard, which was blatantly stolen from the legendary BlackBerry Classic, an interesting solution. It’s a pity that the Chinese did not think to optimize it. For example, move the additional menu down. Apparently, Unihertz’s technologists have not tried to type texts with one hand. A pity. This theft could lead to legal action from the brand owner BlackBerry.
Titan Pocket vs VERTU
The body edging and the design of the top speaker were definitely copied from legendary premium smartphones Vertu. Although the expensive brand has left the smartphone market, the trademark remains with the owners. And who knows, maybe we will see these wonderful phones on the market again. Again, Unihertz may receive a lawsuit invitation from Vertu’s owners.
Why buy the Titan Pocket Unihertz
With a price of $160 and such interesting technical specifications, the smartphone looks intriguing. Even if the price rises to $200 worldwide, there will always be buyers. It’s all about convenience. For making calls and frequent texting (email, messengers, and social networks), this is a truly in-demand gadget.
High performance, compact size, excellent design. If you ignore the plagiarism, the Titan Pocket has many chances to find fans. It is important to understand how durable the smartphone is, how it performs under load, and whether everything works as well as expected. We will try to order the Titan Pocket Unihertz for testing from China to make a full review.
