Clicks Communicator Revives Physical Keyboards on Android
Clicks, a company that makes keyboards for phones, has launched a new Android phone called the Clicks Communicator.
It looks like an old BlackBerry phone and has a small screen, a headphone jack, and a special button for voice commands.
The phone is meant to be used for messaging and other communication tasks, not for watching videos or playing games.
It runs on Android 16 and can be expanded with a lot of storage.
The company thinks people who like physical keyboards will like this phone.
Clicks unveils the Communicator, an Android smartphone with a physical keyboard, resembling a classic BlackBerry.
The device features a 4-inch OLED display, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a microSD card slot supporting up to 2TB expansion.
Runs Android 16 out of the box with a dedicated 'Prompt key' for voice-to-text, recordings, and meeting transcriptions.
Designed as a secondary phone for messaging and communication, not media consumption.
Aims to cater to users who prefer physical keyboards for their communication needs.
