A new kind of mobile communicator designed for doing
Clicks Communicator is a compact Android 17 phone built around a physical keyboard and a home screen for conversations. Use it as your main phone or a companion, with full 5G and apps while keeping messages, typing, and quick replies close at hand.
There’s something nice about a phone that puts the keyboard back at the center.
Communicator is small enough that the screen clearly isn’t the whole point. The keyboard is touch-sensitive, the Signal LED tells you who’s trying to reach you, and the Message Hub lets you deal with conversations without opening every app one by one.
It still runs full Android 17, so you can use it as your main phone if you want. It just makes typing and messaging feel like the default again.
The side key handles voice input too. Hold it to dictate, record something, or transcribe a meeting.
Clicks also bumped the final hardware to 12GB RAM and a 4,350mAh battery before shipping, without increasing the $499 launch price.
Turns out, buttons still make a lot of sense!
