Summary
Clicks said its Communicator will now ship in December with 12GB of RAM, a 4,350mAh battery and Android 17, upgrading the keyboard-centric phone it first showed at CES in January.
User feedback drove the revision, which swaps the originally planned 4,000mAh silicon-carbon pack for a 4,350mAh lithium-ion battery and adds software support through at least Android 20 plus five years of security updates.
The handset still centers on a physical keyboard, but Clicks is positioning it as a full Android phone with on-device speech-to-text, Gemini access, 256GB of storage, microSD expansion and 5G connectivity.
Pricing now keeps the launch offer at $499 through Sept. 30 before rising to $649; existing reservation holders keep their original price and get the RAM and battery upgrades at no extra cost.
