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.
