Clicks is launching a BlackBerry-style Android phone focused on communication, physical keys, and digital minimalism.
In this video, I break down the design, hardware, software choices, pricing, and who this phone is really for ā plus why the Clicks keyboard accessory might be the most interesting part.
Would you use this as a main phone, a secondary device, or just grab the keyboard?
