Context: Clicks has unveiled a working prototype of its Clicks Communicator, a productivity-focused Android device with a physical keyboard, after months of designing and teasing the new phone. The device is compared to a modern BlackBerry, but with unique touches. The company released a "first look" video showcasing the phone's operational hardware and software.

Key Facts

  • The Clicks Communicator features a custom Niagara launcher with a user-defined apps list on its homescreen and an alphabetical app ribbon on the side that allows users to access every installed app.
  • The device's homescreen integrates notifications from favorite apps, allowing users to preview and interact with them without obstructing screen space, and also supports rearranging favorite apps and searching via the physical keyboard.
  • Clicks designed the device to feel familiar, with app navigation similar to using any other Android device with a keyboard connected, but with subtle differences that make the experience special.
  • The Clicks Communicator has a removable rear panel, allowing users to switch SIM and MicroSD cards, a feature that aligns with the headphone jack as something users miss having on new devices.
  • The company plans to release more updates on the device in the weeks to come, with a launch expected towards the end of the year, although no specific changes to the shipping date have been announced.
