Unihertz is now taking pre-orders for the sequel to its BlackBerry Passport clone the Titan 2
Earlier this month we told you that Unihertz was planning to list the Titan 2 on Kickstarter. This would be the sequel to 2019's Titan, a phone that was a clone of the 2014 BlackBerry Passport, now a cult model. The Passport and the Titan both carried a 4.5-inch display with a 1440 x 1440 square resolution and it featured a hybrid physical touchscreen QWERTY keyboard. The Passport had BlackBerry 10 pre-installed while the Titan launched with Android 9 Pie and received an update to Android 10. Unihertz released a video for the Titan 2 calling it "the first QWERTY smartphone reborn for the 5G era." As the video points out, the Titan features a new design with a sub-screen on the rear panel. The Titan 2 has Android 15 pre-installed and a tactile backlit QWERTY keyboard allowing users to experience the fastest and most intuitive typing yet. The keys on the QWERTY keyboard can be programmed as shortcuts to open apps quickly with the tap of a key. Unlike the original Titan which supported only 4G LTE connectivity, the Titan 2 supports 5G.
The Titan 2 also has what Unihertz calls "Pro Features" such as NFC, Bluetooth, and an Infrared port. The Titan 2 supports multiple languages and with Dual SIM capabilities, a Titan 2 user can have a number for work and one for play. Biometric scanners can unlock the device with a fingerprint or by recognizing the user's face. The rear camera on the Titan 2 is backed with a 50 MP sensor and includes a new telephoto lens that delivers 3.4x optical zoom. On the phone's display, there is a 32 MP front-facing camera for selfies and video chats.
Speaking of the display, the Titan 2 will continue where the Titan left off with a 4.5-inch LCD screen and a 1440 x 1440 resolution. Keeping the lights on all day is a 5050 mAh battery with 33W fast charging. The handset is equipped with 512GB of storage. Unihertz says that the Titan 2 combines both form and function. Unihertz is accepting pre-orders for the Titan 2 from Kickstarter. The Titan 2 has already raised $837,858 which is well above the initial target of $100,000. Thus far, the project has attracted 2,847 backers and there are still 29 days to go. One special deal still on the Kickstarter site offers the Titan 2 priced at $269 or 33% off. If you missed out on the original BlackBerry Passport and the Unihertz Titan, don't miss out on the Titan 2. By the way, Unihertz is in the process of working out a deal with AT&T that will allow the Titan 2 to be authorized on AT&T and Cricket/

Oppo teases a global rollout for the Pad SE, Watch X2 Mini and Enco Buds3
'Everyone's invited', writes Oppo as it teases the global launch of several products that were first unveiled in China. The Oppo Reno14 has already started its global rollout and soon it will be joined by a tablet, watch and TWS buds. The Oppo Pad SE was unveiled in mid-May. It has an 11' IPS LCD (90Hz) and is powered by the Helio G100 chipset and a 9,340mAh battery. The Pad SE is a more affordable version of the original Oppo Pad. The Oppo Watch X2 Mini is from a month earlier. 'Mini' here means a 43mm case, compared to the 47mm of the regular X2. One variant of the Watch X2 Mini has 18K gold plating, all versions can replace your car keys (for supported vehicles, of course). Oppo teases a global rollout for the Reno14, Pad SE, Watch X2 Mini and Enco Buds3 The Oppo Enco Buds3 are lightweight (each bud is 3.8g) and have an IP55 rating, while still promising all-day battery life (9.5 hours continuous listening, 48 hours total). Unfortunately, the invite doesn't have a date, it just says 'Join the #OPPOReno14Series party with our incredible IoT.' So, when is all this happening? Like we said, the global expansion of the Oppo Reno14 is already underway. Meanwhile, Oppo Thailand, which is teasing the arrival of the Reno14 series, is also running a celeb-infused promo campaign. Oppo writes (machine translated): '125 lucky winners will be announced on June 27, 2025. Let's chill together on July 1, 2025.' So, there's the likely launch date. Of course, each region might have its own launch party – we'll let you know when we know more. Source
