Clicks is preparing to launch its first Android smartphone—the Communicator—in December, bringing a notable boost in hardware, software support, and value-packed offers. Originally pitched as a secondary device to complement your main phone, it’s now being upgraded to take on primary-duty tasks.
Upgrades & Hardware Highlights
The biggest spec enhancement is a jump from 8 GB to 12 GB of RAM, aimed at delivering smoother performance and better longevity. The device will ship with Android 17 pre-installed, along with a 4,350 mAh battery to support longer use between charges.
Software Support & Accessory Choices
Clicks stands behind the Communicator with plans for three OS upgrades and five years of security updates—support expected to cover the lifespan out to about 2032. On accessories, users can choose from MNML cases made by Dbrand, a Prism self-aligning screen protector, a minimal Ring bumper case, and swappable Charging Covers with different finishes. Prices for the cases range between $35 and $49, while Charging Covers run $50 to $80 depending on materials.
Protection Plan & Service Options
A two-year damage-repair plan called Clicks Care will cost $129 with a $49 deductible, offered in both the US and Canada. For connectivity, Clicks Mobile launches as a new eSIM voice-and-data service in the US and UK. Those who activate their device at launch will get two months of free service.
Pricing, Pre-Orders & Shipping
The Communicator starts shipping in December. Reservation holders can now configure their final order—you’ll want to pre-order by September 30 to lock in the $499 introductory price. Starting October 1, the base MSRP jumps to $650. Upgrades to RAM or battery won’t cost extra during the launch pricing period.
These updates reflect a significant shift in positioning: what began as a companion device is now aiming for more serious users. With robust RAM, long software support, and service/peripheral options, the Communicator looks to challenge budget and midrange phones by stacking value.
What it means: In a market where many phones cut memory and inflate prices, Clicks is doubling down on core performance. For consumers, this signals a growing push toward devices that don’t trade off long-term usability for short-term margin. Watch for whether promised software support holds up—and whether retailers and reviewers find the device’s performance and accessory set live up to its bold claims.
