Offered as the Titan 2 Elite Pro too, the compact smartphone contains a built-in keyboard for those who miss their classic Blackberry Bold or Blackberry Curve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Unihertz wrapped up its Titan 2 Elite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Titan-2-Elite-Pro-Kickstarter-smash-hits-1-8-million-with-Dimensity-8400.1257686.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Kickstarter campaign<\/a> yesterday. Split between two models, the campaign raised over $4 million from over 8,500 backers in just 50 days. Currently, Unihertz hopes to begin shipping to backers in June 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Kickstarter is not the only opportunity to secure a Titan 2 Elite or Titan 2 Elite Pro, though. Like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Unihertz-starts-selling-compact-Jelly-2E-smartphone-for-US-159-99-in-multiple-markets.670448.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jelly 2E<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Titan-2-Smartphone-with-physical-keyboard-and-BlackBerry-vibes-now-available.1043567.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Titan 2<\/a> beforehand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Unihertz-Titan-Physical-Smartphone-Compatible\/dp\/B0G4D9K4V8?tag=nbcnewsnet-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" class=\"external-link-new-window\">(curr. $489 on Amazon)<\/a>, both smartphones will be available outside the insecure world of crowdfunding campaigns too. While the pair have not reached Amazon yet, Unihertz is now selling both on its website.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The Titan 2 Elite now starts at $489.99, a 40% increase on its initial Kickstarter pricing of $349.99. Similarly, the Titan 2 Elite Pro has risen to $579.99, a $140 and 30% jump on its Kickstarter launch. As the graphic below shows, the extra $90 that Unihertz charges for its Pro model includes twice as much storage, a faster chipset and an optically stabilised primary camera.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Titan 2 Elite pre-orders should begin shipping in August 2026 with Black and Orange colours to choose from. Meanwhile, Unihertz reports that Titan 2 Elite Pro pre-orders will remain unfulfilled until December 2026.
