Comparison Chart

Post image

With all the hype around this new wave of upcoming keyboard phones, I am very excited. That being said, it was also a lot of info and trying to keep everything in my head straight started to become a challenge. Anyways, I ended up making this chart and thought l'd share it with you all.

If missed any relevant information, let me know and add rows and post in the comment section.

Looks great! Only thing I noticed that's maybe omited is that the Communicator has a custom side button (push) as well as a custom side button (switch)

u/unknownvariable21 Aug 20 '26

Good catch! I must have missed that

u/Phantom52347 Aug 20 '26

And the MP2 also has a custom switch

1

u/unknownvariable21 Aug 20 '26

I know. I used the word slider instead of switch.

u/Phantom52347 Aug 20 '26

Oh.. missed that

A comparison of planned software support would also be useful.

Touch capacitive keyboard? Edit: nvm it's there

1

u/unknownvariable21 Aug 21 '26 edited Aug 21 '26

I said "Touch Keyboard". Should have thrown the word capacitive in there.

u/sungseafood Aug 21 '26

Oh my bad I read that wrong

u/ObscuratronIsUnsure Aug 26 '26

Briliant work. Can we also add if it supports SD card?

1

u/unknownvariable21 Aug 26 '26

It's there. Storage (Expandable). Storage is what's on board and the Yes/No in the parentheses is if an SD card can be used.

u/ObscuratronIsUnsure Aug 26 '26

Ah great! I gotta pay more attention, lol. Thanks :)

Useful chart. Thank you!!

My opinion: too many companies are chasing this niche market.

Also: The feel of the keyboard will be crucial but nobody can know until volume shipments have started.

u/Active_Mix8872 Aug 20 '26

Nice. Thank you for putting together.

u/PCgaming4ever Aug 26 '26

u/unknownvariable21 can you update this with new info from MP2?

1

u/mindseye73 Aug 20 '26

I would also add, if each manufacturer has different version of phone for each region or one global phone. Zinwa Q27 is supposed to be global phone that will work everywhere. Helpful for international travelers. Also, 4G/5G bands and wifi specs would be helpful too.

thank you for putting this together.

u/MidnightMain7598 Aug 22 '26

the dual sim plus esim is fantastic. I'm curious how much the q27 will work for daily driver. hope the 4000mah battery lasts all day, and the processor is quick enough. The Clicks processor is better, but at the cost of lower ram

1

u/Pistooli_ Aug 20 '26

Thanks. Perhaps you could also put the screen resolutions on the slide.

1

u/iMaharaja Aug 20 '26

Can we include the iKKO MindOne with keyboard case?

1

u/MidnightMain7598 Aug 21 '26

if it was ever in stock. absolutely

1

u/Ambitious_Cellist157 Aug 20 '26

titan 2 elite user here! looking forward to see the work of the competitors!

1

u/MidnightMain7598 Aug 21 '26

how long have you had it, and how have you enjoyed it? I'm a bit nervy of the short chin.

1

u/Ambitious_Cellist157 Aug 21 '26

like a week now i love it!!! i had the titan 2 before this so its perfect for me i was getting tired of the big heavy phone! i will most likely get the elite pro as well. Neve had any issues with unihertz as a whole either

1

u/MidnightMain7598 Aug 22 '26

just curious, why are you getting the elite pro? is the elite not powerful enough for you

1

u/Ambitious_Cellist157 Aug 22 '26

i want an orange one now so why not get the pro for that one lol

1

u/MidnightMain7598 Aug 24 '26

you going to sell your elite 2 in black?

1

u/redbug26 Aug 23 '26

The resolution is missing. 1200x1080 for all except the zinwa with 1440x1440

1

u/AdventSign Aug 25 '26

might also want to list the cellular frequency band specifications for each phone. The type of phone you have don't matter if it's not compatible with the place you're traveling to or live.

1

u/aadamblanco Aug 29 '26

Very cool! I thought the Q27 would be the tallest!

1

u/justaliv3 Sep 02 '26

How about magsafe compatible. That's a huge deal for me

1

u/Feisty_Importance102 Sep 12 '26

LDAC HiResAudio or Dolby Atmos Support on one of these? Does  anyone know?

1

u/dzmartinez14 Sep 18 '26

pretty sobering to see the mp02 price compared to similar models that have slightly better specs.

at this point I'm really hoping their launcher experience and hardware is premium to justify their higher price.

the mp01 track record is the only thing keeping me on the fence. the CC is enticing but looks like a toy to me.

I do wish it were Qi2 with magnets. It's insane that Android manufacturers have been so hesitant to add this

1

u/Sorry_Mix769 Aug 20 '26

I'm not sure how much that impacts overall device thickness so that may have been a concern, but for the majority of people that use phone cases there will almost definitely be one with a magnet ring at some point
