Unihertz Titan

If you know what you're getting, it's perfect – It's not the phone for everyone. I wouldn't recommend it to most people. BUT - If you want what it has to offer, it's absolutely perfect. Huge battery, rugged design, and that all important physical keyboard. It feels great to type on. If you miss the old fashioned keyboards on blackberries, this is the way to get one. It's heavy, it's enormous. You get used to it quickly and it feels great in your hand when you do, but on first impression its definitely HUGE. the square screen resolution is occasionally incompatible with apps or websites and when this happens you need to switch to "mini mode" which letterboxes the left and right sides of the screen to make a more standard rectangular screen shape. These things may or may not be a downside for you. But you should know about them before you buy the phone.

On the plus side, the keyboard is clicky and satisfying once you wear it in, the battery goes easily two days of my very heavy usage which drains most phones in half a day. Wireless charging is nice. It's splashproof and dustproof which is nice for peace of mind. The camera isn't great but it's perfectly adequate, it's more than enough for taking happy snaps or Instagram shots, but you won't want to be getting any of these printed up as posters or anything and there's no night mode or optical image stabilization. If you were happy with an iPhone 4/5 camera you will be happy with this but it doesn't have the bells and whistles of 2020 flagships. All apps work but some (not many, but some) need to be used in the aforementioned "mini mode" if they don't scale well to the square screen. NFC payments work, Bluetooth works, everything you expect is present and accounted for. The programmable red button on the side is nice, I have it set to turn the flashlight on or off even if the screen's off, and use it many times per day.

With a phone like this you either know you're the niche customer who wants it or you're not. Most people won't want or need this one but if you do, nothing else on sale today offers what this offers. If you want it but you're not sure about build quality or bugginess or whatever from a no-name brand: don't worry about that, this is as well made a phone as I've had!
