Clicks Communicator Upgrades to Android 17, Raises Battery to 4,450mAh for Q4 Launch

Clicks told pre-order holders its Communicator will ship in Q4 with Android 17 and a 4,450mAh silicon-carbon battery, up from the 4,000mAh pack it previously announced.
Android 17 replaces the earlier Android 16 plan, letting the physical-keyboard phone launch on current software rather than arriving a version behind.
Working samples are still targeted for next month, and the rest of Clicks' updated development timeline has not changed.
Reservations remain open with a $199 deposit as Clicks tries to position the Communicator as a productivity-focused Android device.
Why is Clicks using advanced battery tech that giants like Apple and Samsung have so far avoided?
Is a physical keyboard enough to cure 'doomscrolling,' or is this phone just a nostalgic gimmick?
