We’re excited to give you a first look at Communicator in action.  

▶️ Clicks Communicator: First Look

Before you press play, I want to share a bit more about what you’re about to see. 

These first demos feature pre-production hardware, and internal software. It’s real, working hardware being used by our team for testing and validation, but definitely not finished product.

That means you’ll likely spot a few rough edges. In fact, since we started filming this video there have already been several new internal SW and firmware deployments that add features and polish to the experience (like the hole punch camera cut out you may see obscuring text in the status bar at a few points in the video…that’s already been fixed 😉).

Over the next couple months we’ll continue sharing more details and new demos of features like Message Hub, Signal Light, Prompt Key, touch sensitive keyboard, camera, etc. 

Speaking personally, it’s been so rewarding to start carrying Communicator every day and to be using it out in the real world. Seeing it evolve from an idea, sketches and prototypes into something I grab as I head out the door is pretty special (and kind of surreal!).

The entire team is heads down building, and we're still on track to begin shipping in Q4.

Thanks for being on this journey with us.

We built the first Minimal Phone in 8 months.

It was rushed. It was imperfect. But it proved people want a different kind of phone.

We’ve been working on MP02 for a year and kept it quiet because we wanted to show the product only when it was real.

No promises. No concepts. No noise.

MP02 is coming.

From Clicks' Instagram story!

Wanted to help people get an idea of how the Clicks Communicator and Titan 2 Elite is going to feel compared to similar devices. I have all 4 of the non-unreleased devices on this list and verified the specs myself with my micrometer and scale. The Communicator and T2E specs came from each’s respective website, minus the fact that its inferred that the Communicator will taper by about 1.2mm, but the official thickness spec there is 12mm.

So if anyone has any of these 4 devices, you can sort of imagine what the feel of the Communicator vs the T2E would be like.

I’m most surprised about the T2E’s dimensions. People have said it looks absurdly thick, but actually it’s just as thick as the 2 most iconic BlackBerry phones.
