    if you’re inclined to buy it, ensure you purchase this without expecting long-term support from the company.

      II would appreciate Unihertz much more if they provided more than five minutes of security updates after each release. Or at least made it easier to run third-party ROMs.

      iirc there are hardware phone-attachment keyboard devices that you can snap onto a phone

          also for the motorola razr (flip phone) lineup, and the combination of flip phone with a small squareish back display and a snap-on keyboard seems like a neat idea, except that one has major fit issues. the android software is also fairly buggy from what i hear, leading to random instances where the keyboard might just not work anymore. they’re also obscenely expensive for what they are.

      I hope that happens but probably wouldn’t unfortunately. It has a Mediatek soc. The Key2 port would be more realistic.

    I would love an updated key2 form factor more but any physical keyboard phones are better than none to choose from.

    I’m looking forward to my titan 2 from unihertz, I just hope someone makes a postmarket ROM or similar cause I can’t go back to regular android -_-

    I’d rather have a Canadian made, privacy focused blackberry again without the android bullshit.

      If it’s bootloader unlockable, at least we’ll be able to flash a rom like Lineage.

      I could go for one of these at $200, so maybe as a second-hand device in a couple years, if I can flash Lineage.
