Overview
- The Clicks Communicator is pitched as a secondary Android 16 device built around messaging, using a Niagara Launcher experience, a tactile QWERTY keyboard with touch scrolling, a Prompt Key for voice dictation, a customizable Signal Light, and a fingerprint reader in the spacebar.
- Hardware includes global 5G, a 4,000 mAh battery, 256GB storage with microSD expansion to 2TB, 50MP rear and 24MP front cameras, NFC, USB‑C and wireless charging, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and physical SIM plus eSIM support.
- Pricing is $499 retail with a limited $399 early reservation that requires a $199 deposit by February 27, and Clicks says shipments are expected later this year.
- The new Power Keyboard is a slide‑out, MagSafe/Qi2 magnetic Bluetooth keyboard with a 2,150 mAh battery that can wirelessly top up a phone at 5W, supports multi‑device pairing, and is slated to ship in spring for $79 early ($109 retail).
- Clicks cites 100,000+ prior keyboard units shipped as proof of demand, though early reviews applaud the nostalgia yet question whether buyers will manage a $499 second phone and potential extra line costs before units ship.
