# My Review of the Unihertz Titan 2

I bought the Unihertz Titan 2 because I wanted real buttons again. I was not trying to be nostalgic. I just wanted a phone that let me work without fighting the touchscreen. I call this my own version of Re Buttonization. I wanted to see what it feels like when a phone gives you actual physical controls again.

The mechanical keyboard is the main reason I stuck with this phone. The keys have a soft, quiet click that feels steady under my thumbs. It is very much a two thumb typing phone while my pinky fingers support the bottom. It does not make me type faster. It makes me type more carefully. If your style of texting is quick messages or constant emoji, you probably will not like this keyboard. I prefer it because it helps me focus when I am writing longer notes or responses.

# For Productivity 

Most of the apps I use for productivity work well on this phone. Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Notion, Slack, Calendar and OneNote all adjusted to the square shaped screen without any real issue. Microsoft Word and Excel had a few small problems when opening files through Microsoft 365, but they still worked overall.

# Keyboard Scrolling & Cursor Assistant 

Spreadsheets are where the Titan 2 really helps me. Using the keyboard to scroll through rows and columns is a lot easier than dragging my finger on the screen. On a normal phone my finger blocks the cells and I often tap something by accident. On the Titan 2 I can move through a large sheet without anything getting in the way.

The cursor assistant also makes a difference. Highlighting long text normally requires a small magnifying bubble on most phones because my finger covers what I am trying to select. On the Titan 2 the cursor lets me highlight exactly what I want without guessing. It feels closer to using a small laptop than a regular phone.

# Conclusion

This phone is not made for entertainment. The screen shape is not great for videos or social scrolling. But for writing, reading, checking notes and editing documents, the size and layout actually help. It feels like a compact work screen instead of a long screen where everything flies past with every swipe.

Overall I would not say the Titan 2 is perfect, but I enjoy using it for real work. It reminds me that physical buttons can still be useful in everyday tasks. For me this is what Re Buttonization looks like and I appreciate that a phone like this even exists.
