    A smaller version of this modernized BlackBerry is coming.

    If you were tempted by the Unihertz Titan 2 when the Android-running 5G BlackBerry clone was announced last June but wanted a more svelte device to slip into your pocket, a successor is enroute. The company plans to announce a new smaller and sleeker Titan 2 Elite version at MWC in March 2026.
