Clicks has released the first hands-on video of its Communicator smartphone, an Android device featuring a BlackBerry-style physical keyboard. The phone targets users seeking tactile typing on a modern platform.
The Communicator marks Clicks' entry into the smartphone market with a device designed around physical input. The BlackBerry-inspired keyboard provides an alternative to touchscreen-only interfaces, appealing to users who prefer hardware keys for messaging and productivity.
Clicks demonstrated the device through video footage, showcasing the keyboard layout and overall form factor. The phone runs Android, giving it access to the Google Play Store and modern applications while maintaining the tactile feedback absent from contemporary smartphones.

The Communicator's release reflects renewed interest in hardware keyboards for those prioritizing typing accuracy and speed.
