Have you ever thought, "I wish I had another phone on my phone"? Well, here's good news. Clicks, famous for its QWERTY keyboard cases for iPhones, has unveiled the "Clicks Communicator," a product that does exactly that. This device is designed to be used as an auxiliary device when you want to escape all the distractions of a smartphone and focus solely on communication. The Communicator supports a full QWERTY keyboard and its own cellular connection, so you can go out without your main phone.
However, this convenience comes at a cost of exactly $499. Setting aside the fact that the Communicator's price matches the Pixel 9A, let's focus on this device's distinctive and attractive gadget-like configuration. First, the back plate is replaceable, so you can express your style according to your preference. Additionally, it includes a built-in headphone jack, physical mute switch, microSD slot, and other features that major manufacturers have removed over the past decade. The keyboard buttons are larger than the existing Clicks case, and the entire keyboard can recognize touch and be used like a trackpad.
The Communicator is a standalone device that can be used independently. It has its own 5G connectivity and runs Android 16 OS, so you can install any app. However, the intended purpose of this product is to restrict yourself to use only the necessary apps when you want to step away from your main phone for a moment. Therefore, it's definitely more convenient to use in the Android ecosystem where you can sync with your main device through Google Messages. Clicks did not attempt to use Beeper-style workarounds to port iMessage to the Communicator.
This product features a 4.03-inch OLED screen and front and rear cameras, and provides sufficient usage time through a 4,000mAh capacity silicon carbon battery.
