TL;DR The Clicks Communicator will now ship with 12GB of RAM, a 4,350mAh battery, and Android 17 out of the box.
Clicks is promising three major Android OS updates and five years of security updates for the keyboard-first phone.
The Communicator starts shipping in December, with its $499 launch price available only through September 30.
Remember Clicks? Yes, the company that went viral last year with its physical keyboard attachment for Android phones? Its ambitions have clearly grown, and we’ve just gotten our clearest look at what’s next.
At CES earlier this year, the company showed off the Clicks Communicator, a full-fledged Android phone built from the ground up with a keyboard-first design. With the model now slated to begin shipping in December, Clicks has finalized the phone’s specs and upgraded some of its hardware before launch.
The London, UK-based company is bringing upgrades to some of the initially announced specs, including its RAM, battery, and software support.
The main upgrade here is the RAM bump. The Clicks Communicator will ship with 12GB of RAM, up from the original 8GB planned for the device.
We don’t expect the Communicator to be particularly memory-hungry, especially when compared to modern Android smartphones. That’s mainly because the handset isn’t meant to be a mobile gaming powerhouse, nor does it have its sights set on being the best device to binge Netflix on. Instead, it’s targeting the best communicator throne, and the additional 4GB of RAM should definitely give it more breathing room when multitasking between productivity and communication apps.
