Some of us old-timers fondly remember the satisfying clickity-clack of a physical smartphone keyboard. Back when email was king and multi-paragraph arguments on social networks were few and far between.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Well, if you\u2019re someone who longs for the days of firing off missives at breakneck speed, I\u2019ve got good news: The physical keyboard is experiencing a renaissance, and it\u2019s looking like it\u2019s not just a nostalgic gimmick.<\/p>\n
Yes, hardware keyboards are officially making a comeback, and there are a few devices leading the charge that you\u2019ll definitely want to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n
Unihertz Titan 2 Elite<\/h2>\n
Now, Unihertz is no stranger to this market. The company already makes Android-based keyboard phones, such as the Titan 2<\/a>. However, if you\u2019re in the market for a new device, it\u2019s best to hold your horses for the upcoming Titan 2 Elite<\/a>. The company is promising an upgraded experience with a smooth-scrolling AMOLED screen and five years of guaranteed OS updates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Unihertz is currently running a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the Titan 2 Elite<\/a>. Backers who pledge a little under $400 can get the phone as a reward. The company says it will ship in June.<\/p>\n You might recognize the name: Clicks makes a reasonably popular keyboard case for Android phones and iPhones. But the Clicks Communicator<\/a> will be the company\u2019s first shot at making a complete phone of its own.<\/p>\n Designed as a maybe-primary, maybe-companion, definitely-sleek device focused on messaging and productivity, it runs Android 16 and features a 4-inch AMOLED display perched above a classic QWERTY layout.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nClicks Communicator<\/h2>\n
