Anyone else remember then being the cool new thing instead of a mandatory one?

    I have a Unihertz Titan, using it to write this, and it is a good phone but it has a strange display ratio that so many apps don’t understand. So many apps are borderline unusable and you have to force the display into 16:9 “mini mode”. That works but not that good because everything gets tiny in this mode.

    The novelty of a hardware keyboard is lost very quickly and I don’t think that I would buy the phone again if I knew back then what I knew now. This is not really the fault of the phone but more that nearly all app developer only bother to include a 16:9 vertical screen option and that’s it.

      Thanks for the info, that’s good to know. So the phone is good otherwise? I see on their site they also have some “normal” style phones, maybe I should consider one of them instead.

        Yes, I don’t have a complain at all with the hardware (besides the display aspect) or the software on the phone. It works great, the bootloader is easy unlockable (which is importand for me) and the device is sturdy.
