It's funny, really. We photographers love being given tactile ways to interact with our cameras. We adore physical dials, dedicated buttons and satisfying clicks. Yet at the same time, our pockets are filled with featureless glass slabs. There is an irony there that a new phone, the Unihertz Titan 2 Elite, quietly exposes.
The concept is simple: a compact Android smartphone with a full physical QWERTY keyboard built into the lower half, much as BlackBerry did at its peak. That might sound like nostalgia dressed up as innovation. But spend a moment with what this thing can actually do, and the appeal starts to make real sense.
