The Clicks Communicator, a $500 mid-range Android phone with a physical keyboard, will show software demos in May and working prototypes in June.
Certification and order customization will occur in Q3, with production and shipping to reservation holders planned for Q4 2026.
Targeted at users seeking a secondary device with a dedicated keyboard, the Communicator integrates Niagara Launcher and aims to revive interest in physical keyboard phones.

How will modern, vertically-scrolling apps function on the Communicator's unique square screen?
Is the physical keyboard's revival a short-lived nostalgic trend or a permanent market shift?
Can a $500 niche phone successfully challenge the dominance of all-in-one flagship devices?
Beyond nostalgia, what makes this keyboard functionally superior to today's advanced on-screen options?
