As touch screen smartphones become more and more similar, can a phone with a physical keyboard become the most worth buying technology item in 2026?
1. The QWERTY keyboard suddenly returns
After many years of the smartphone market being almost completely dominated by bar devices with large touch screens, the physical QWERTY keyboard is showing signs of revival. This is no longer simply an effort to recreate BlackBerry but has formed a product group aimed at users who prioritize texting, email, working and reducing dependence on social networks.
Clicks Technology develops Clicks Communicator as a specialized communication device. Unihertz continues to perfect the Titan line, while the Minimal Phone 2 combines a physical keyboard with a philosophy of limiting distractions.

2. Clicks Communicator turns your phone into a messaging center
Clicks Communicator is one of the physical keyboard devices that attracted attention at CES 2026. Instead of just producing external keyboards for iPhones, Clicks Technology has developed an independent Android smartphone.
The device uses a 4.03-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1080 × 1200 pixels, below is a backlit physical QWERTY keyboard and shaped keys to increase recognition when typing. The fingerprint sensor is integrated right into the Space key.
Clicks Communicator uses a MediaTek processor manufactured on a 4 nm process, a 50 MP main camera that supports OIS and a 24 MP front camera. The device has USB-C, Qi2 wireless charging, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, 3.5 mm headphone jack and microSD slot supporting up to 2 TB capacity.
The biggest difference lies in the software. WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack and Gmail can be brought together into a common communication interface, reducing the need to constantly switch between multiple applications.
A Signal Light on the side of the device can change color depending on the notification or sender. Individually programmable keys can also be set for tasks such as voice input.
Clicks positions Communicator as a second device for people who want to separate work and texting from their main entertainment smartphone.
JamAn initial reservation of 399 USD is equivalent to about 10.5 million VND if the reference conversion is 26,300 VND per USD. Estimated price after the preferential period is 499 USD, equivalent to about 13.1 million VND. Deliveries are targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026, so this is still a pre-order product instead of a smartphone that can be widely purchased immediately.
3. Unihertz Titan 2 Elite is aimed at people who want to use QWERTY every day
Unihertz has been developing keypad phones for years, and the Titan 2 Elite is a notable step up in size.
The device has dimensions of 117.8 × 75 × 10.4 mm, 4.03 inch 120 Hz AMOLED screen and physical QWERTY keyboard with integrated trackpad function. The fingerprint sensor is located on the side of the device.
The standard Titan 2 Elite uses Dimensity 7400, while the Titan 2 Elite Pro is upgraded to Dimensity 8400 for heavier workloads.
Both have a 4,050 mAh battery, 33 W fast charging, 50 MP dual rear camera system and Android 16.
Unihertz also improves keyboard pressure. According to test data outlined in the content source, the trigger force is about 58 grams, down from about 67 grams for the Titan 2. This change may be especially worthwhile for people who frequently compose long emails and texts.
Titan 2 Elite has a pre-order price of 489.90 USD, equivalent to about 12.9 million VND. Titan 2 Elite Pro is priced at 579.99 USD, equivalent to about 15.3 million VND at the same reference exchange rate.
4. Unihertz Titan 2 is larger but has a 5,000 mAh battery
If Titan 2 Elite prioritizes compactness, Titan 2 goes in a more practical direction.
The main screen has a size of 4,5 inches with a square resolution of 1440 × 1440 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The back also has a 2-inch secondary screen used to view notifications or as a preview screen when taking selfies with the rear camera.
The QWERTY keyboard supports swipe gestures, turning the physical key area into an additional control surface.
Dimensity 7300 comes with 12 GB RAM and up to 512 GB internal memory. The 5,000 mAh battery is significantly larger than the Titan 2 Elite's 4,050 mAh.
The device also has an infrared port to control home appliances and is IP65 dust and water resistant. Price is about 499 USD, equivalent to about 13.1 million VND according to the reference exchange rate.
5. Minimal Phone 2 ditches E Ink to switch to AMOLED
The first generation Minimal Phone differentiated itself with an E Ink screen to reduce distractions, but this technology also made many common smartphone tasks slow and less intuitive.
Minimal Phone 2 changes significantly when using a 3.92 inch 90 Hz AMOLED screen but still retains the physical QWERTY keyboard.
The keyboard has additional backlighting, customizable shortcut keys, and metal dome switches. Inside is the Dimensity 8300 with memory options up to 512 GB.
The device also has NFC, mute switch and 3.5mm headphone jack.
It is worth noting that Minimal Phone 2 still pursues the philosophy of using technology on purpose, but the AMOLED screen makes the device significantly more realistic than the previous E Ink generation.
The product is currently attached to the crowdfunding model, so the level of commercial readiness is not equivalent to a widely distributed smartphone.

7. Unihertz Titan 2 Elite is the most balanced option
Considering the information provided alone, Titan 2 Elite has a good balance between size, 120 Hz AMOLED screen, Android 16, integrated trackpad keyboard and modern hardware configuration. The Pro version with Dimensity 8400 also brings QWERTY phones closer to the performance of regular Android smartphones.
The Titan 2 is more suitable for those who prioritize a large screen and a 5,000 mAh battery, while also accepting a larger body.
Clicks Communicator is most interesting in its software approach. Centralizing WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack and Gmail into one communication center turns the device into a messaging tool instead of a smartphone simply attached with a keyboard.
Minimal Phone 2 chooses the third direction when combining QWERTY with the philosophy of digital minimalism, but switches from E Ink to AMOLED to avoid sacrificing too much practicality.The return of the QWERTY keyboard in 2026 is therefore not simply about BlackBerry nostalgia. The Clicks Communicator, Unihertz Titan 2 Elite, Titan 2 and Minimal Phone 2 are testing a bigger question facing the modern smartphone industry — do users really need ever-larger screens, or is a phone that helps type quickly, stay focused and work efficiently something that is being neglected by the market?
