Clicks Communicator

The modern BlackBerry?

It is an Android 16-powered smartphone with a BlackBerry-inspired design. How? It has a 4.03-inch AMOLED screen with a built-in QWERTY keyboard.

The keyboard design

According to the company, this is designed to provide a "premium typing experience" thanks to its "ergonomically designed" keys with "satisfying" tactile feedback. The keyboard is also touch-sensitive for scrolling, and the space bar doubles as a fingerprint reader.

To help capture ideas with ease, it also has a side key to turn voice into text, start voice recording, or even transcribe a meeting.

The device also has a customizable Signal LED for people or apps and a "Message hub" that brings messages from favorite apps to the home screen.

The company also highlights that it has a 3.5mm headphone jack support, a physical kill switch, and brushed aluminum side keys.

Swappable back cover colors available

The back cover is also swappable with different colors. The Clicks Communicator itself comes in Live-toned Clover Green, a Pale White Smoke, and a Not-Quite-Black Onyx.

The battery is 4,000mAh Si-C (silicon-carbon). This device is said to be power efficient thanks to its use of AMOLED display tech and a 4nm SoC (processor).
