In 2025, 11 years after the phone’s original launch, the BlackBerry Passport has achieved cult status. If you’re a smartphone nerd like yours truly, you may check social media and notice that there are many posts from people who recently purchased a Passport that has never been used and is in a sealed box. The price of a virgin passport can range from $165 to $370. Some are trying to save some money by purchasing a previously used BlackBerry Passport unit. The price range for “used” passports is between $120 and $300.
Titan 2’s 4.5-inch 1440 x 1440 display helps you be more productive
If you’re wondering why the price of a phone first released in 2014 is so high (relatively speaking), it’s the same reason the price of any item is high. Too much demand chasing limited supply is the fundamental reason for economics. There is still demand for the Passport’s unique design, and despite the limitations of the BlackBerry 10 operating system, many phone nerds and business executives can still use the phone today.
The Titan 2 has a two-inch rear screen
The Titan 2 maintains the 4.5-inch square LCD screen with 1440 x 1440 resolution used by the Passport and OG Titan. It’s a great size for viewing business documents, maps, spreadsheets, and more. The 1:1 aspect ratio can be changed if a particular application is not working. The word Unihertz wants you to remember is “productivity.” This is the same word BlackBerry used to describe the Passport, since you can do more work with the larger screen. There’s also a 2-inch secondary display on the back of the phone that you may find useful for reading notifications with the phone placed screen-side down on a table.
While the Titan 2 isn’t a flagship phone, it does feature a mid-range application processor (AP) that can still get things done. This phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 manufactured by TSMC using its 4nm process node. The Titan 2 is equipped with a decent amount of storage (12GB of RAM) and comes with 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. A 5050 mAh battery keeps the lights on and can be fast charged at 33W. Dual SIM Dual Standby support is offered.
The phone’s physical QWERTY keyboard is backlit.
The backlit QWERTY keyboard (ideal for typing at night) can be used for scrolling, and with Cursor Assist, you can perfectly position the cursor where you want to make an edit or place punctuation. The Titan 2 will support Google Pay and there are two programmable red shortcut buttons on the side that you can program to quickly open apps or enable/disable features. As for the cameras, the 50MP main camera on the back is paired with an 8MP telephoto camera to offer 3.4x optical zoom. There is a 32MP front camera for selfies and video chat.
If you’re looking for a phone with a physical QWERTY keyboard, modern software, and a wide screen for business use, the Titan 2 could fill that gap at a good price. That’s not to say the Titan 2 can’t be your next daily driver.
