It's going to be buggy and slow isn't it
>>107819469what the fuck is this and why is it being posted in my group chats so much no i won't click on the links
>>107819469Will it be able to run pubg, sir?
>>107819469Wish a non-meme company would make something like this. With a better keyboard though, because this looks like a pretty big step back from a blackberry keyboard.
>>107819485Probably the latest FOS de-Googled de-Appled privacy focused Android replacement for sideload enjoyers.
>>107819485Clicks Communicator. It's trying to revive the design principles of the Blackberry.>>107819487It'll probably run phone games decently but there isn't a convenient way to hold it for horizontal touch controls to work nicely and it isn't a 16:9 or wider aspect. But it's not meant for people who want to play phone games. It's for people who want to do texts, chats, emails, and presumably even some terminal use without the finickiness of a touch keyboard.
>>107819469mr mobile making a smartphone is like youtubers making filmssome people should just stick to reviews
>primary phone>second simWhat are they talking about? Do people really do this?
Is the battery replaceable?
>not slide-outThey were THIS close. Not preordering.
>>107819469depends on what you run on it. or if the hardware is shit, then very likely overall shit.
>>107819929>sideload enjoyers10/10
>>107819469did it have EPNOW drivers?
>>107819469They're bringing back blackberries?
>>107821038>No mention of processor or RAM>Processor is buried deep in their FAQ and it still doesn't answer the question>Communicator uses a modern 4-nanometer, 5G IoT SoC platform from MediaTek>No mention of RAM at all>But you can pay it in full today for a discount :')Gayest shit I've ever seen never trust a youtuber with your money
>>107819544I wonder if active patents are the main reason.
>>107819947>Clicks Communicator. It's trying to revive the design principles of the Blackberry.Well it's certainly reviving the price tag of a Blackberry. 4-5 Bens for a phone that only has paper specs right now is steep, and from what I can tell it's more comparable with the bottom tier galaxy phones, those are floating around 170 - 230.
>>107821101It has a Mediatek MT8873 and 6GB of RAM. But it really isn't supposed to run modern apps. Supposed to help you ditch the dopamine rewarding loop of refreshing social media. I like the idea of it but I want more power and it to be more open. I want a flagship processor and an open OS with security in mind so I can install whatever the fuck Linux applications I want and have a physical keyboard, ideally a slide-out one with a thicc 16:10 AMOLED display. I hate the braindead walled garden grug phones we have today where you have to rub your fingers on glass like a fucking neanderthal. https://www.mediatek.com/iot/modem-based-iot/mt8873
>>107821101They're selling this to the corpo slave "I MUST PRODOOCE" husk. The same kind of people that microdose cocaine and do all sorts of productivity hacks because they bought the hustle bro propaganda and must prodooce during their entire 996They can afford it
>>1078211288GB of RAM I meant. Display is 1080x1200.
>>107821128>>107821144Yeah the Titan phone by Unihertz is a better device. Higher specs and cheaper: https://www.unihertz.com/products/titan-2Shame about the stupid fucking logo at the top. Deal killer.
>>107821128>Supposed to help you ditch the dopamine rewarding loop of refreshing social mediawhats the point of buying a whole new phone isntead of just using inbuilt shit like Screen Time on iphone or whatever android has?
>>107819469I'm actually more interested on the power keyboard. I can't believe they're the first ones to combine a Bluetooth keyboard + power bank accessory for phones. How long until the Chinese make a clones of it for 20-30 bucks?
>>107821128>1 x USB 2.0 OTGAnon...
>>107819469>Circle buttons DROPPED
>>107819469If I recall right, isn't it literally just a companion device to your phone? So you have to still carry your phone to even use it?
>>107819947>revive the design principlesliterally no software or hardware that works on a philosophical premise ever gets adopted. Nobody is out there really using those non-systemd or GNU coreutil Linux distributions. No one is out there using Otter Browser or SeaMonkey. I wish people would get this through their head and stop pumping out these ridiculous, extremely niche hardware products like this and the clockworkpi and that stupid android handheld with the fold out keyboard
>>107821155Same. There has to be a way to blank it out though. It is gaudy, though.
>>107821101This is the trap that always catches these small startup phone makers. You have to pay more to make a small run of your design so you have to charge more. But then even fewer people buy it.
>>107821685The reason hardware keyboards never gain mass appeal is they either take up a large portion of the front of the device that people will miss when they watch videos, or use a slide out design that's more prone to breaking unless really well engineered, and even so it either makes the device stupidly thick or leaves too little room for a good battery.
>>107821977Yeah, you completely missed the point and respond with a non-sequitur reply
>>107820941What the shill OP and the retards commenting before you omitted is that it's not a mobile phone.
>>107821984Just saying, usually when people don't adopt principled designs, it isn't because they don't like the principles. It's usually that the resulting design has a bunch of downsides in common use cases.
>>107821262If MrMobile is involved it'll clearly cost more than it should.
>>107820941That is apparently who this phone is aimed at.
>>107821155>>107821839Its the BB Passport. Cute. Some nail polish remover and a little baking soda on the end of a q-tip will surely take the logo right off unless it's under the glass I can't tell yet
>>107821155>no 3.5mm jack>no SD card slot>not ergonomicWhy did they make it a square? Seems incredibly shit and unwieldy. If they had kept a shape like their Titan 1 I'd get it.
>>107819469>>107821155Honestly at that price Titan 2 does make more sense.Both are lacking though, Titan 2 just as Titan 1 has it's own annoying flaws, even though quality wise it's top-notch (outside of Mediakek).
this is a scam, no one needs a phone for their phone
>>107821262this, anon you are right why buy a new phone? everybody has a phone yet, we only need some external gadget to connectthat keyboard with my iphone se 2022 should fit perfectly and not result in a lightsaber like the iPhone in the photo
>>107819469this the /g/ phone?
>>107822158Unrelated but some dude cracked secure boot on this thing and you can boot android now. Hardware modifications required.
>>107824361>Unrelated but some dude cracked secure boot on this thing and you can boot android now. Hardware modifications required.Any sources on this? I think you're mixing it up with pic related, it's a entirely different mainboard with open bootloader which you can put into in a original BB Passport. I'd do it but this shit costs ~600$ for Mediatek chipset, so more of a tinkertranny hobbyist thing for nostalgia autists with too much money than a genuine option.
>>107825096It's dodgy as FUCK but apparently legithttps://balika011.hu/blackberry/guides/passport/conversion.phpUnrelated but there's also https://bb10.root.sx/
>>107821155I own the Titan 2.Overall pretty happy with it, but I wish the money spent on the useless second screen was spent on a better camera or primary screen instead.
>>107821128they need to find a better selling point than digital detox. I had a unihertz titan pocket and that didn’t stop me from browsing this shithole all day. It should be FUCK IPHONE. USE A REAL KEYBOARD FAGGOTS
>>107821303this. the reason blackberry keyboards worked is because each key had a ridge on it that made touch typing with thumbs very easy to hit the right key.
>>107819469is it lagdroid? of course it'll be
>>107819469Yes. So wait until reputable people review it.
>>107821101The Palm Phone was apparently not a stupid enough idea the first time.
>>107820941It's their badly worded way of saying you can message from the Clicks by hotspotting off your primary device or wifi. If you want to make calls, you have to put a Sim in it.
>>107822522>own annoying flawslike?
>>107821128>Supposed to help you ditch the dopamine rewarding loop of refreshing social media.you know iphone doesn't come with tiktok and reddit pre-installed, right? you can keep your current phone and just not poison your mind with trash
>>107821048Jeff Gadway confirmed in a Jan Ole Hembold interview that the Clicks will have 8GB ram. I don't understand why they're faffing around on the SOC though.
>>107825707i must consoom to heal the economy however!
>>107825715It might end up like the fairphone, the soc they used had long term support but as a phone soc it's a dumpsterfire.
>>107825420What the fuck else could it be in this shitty day and age.Even if you do release your own platform, you'll need to also maintain Android compat like the later Blackberries had to do.
>>107821128>Mediatek MT8873Where are you getting that info from?
>>107825695As somebody who owned Titan 1 and now uses Titan 2:1. Fucking MediaTek.2. Shitty camera.3. BlackBerry-esque keyboard scrolling does not really work except for a few select apps. I mean, it works, but you will get ghost taps and weird scrolling issues.4. Stock software keyboard sucks, good keyboards from T1 don't work on T2. I had to patch ASK manually do get something that works well.5. The second screen is a useless gimmick.Still better than no HW keyboard though.
>>107821347It's a stand alone phone. They just fucked up their marketing. What do you expect from a company whose CEO is Adrian Li Mow Ching who ran F(X)tec that made the colossal broken promises failure that was the F(X)tec Pro 1X.
>>107825855>Adrian Li Mow Ching who ran F(X)tecIt's really the same guy?Holy fuck Fxtec was a massive disappointment. I have my original Pro1 sitting on a shelf and it really is a shame that for as amazing as the hardware was, the company did made less than zero effort to actually support it. I still don't understand why they decided to abandon the original and do the 1X. With that in mind, the Clicks Communicator is dead on arrival to me. Their little attachable keyboard accessory is more interesting than their phone, because there's no way in hell they'll support it for more than a year.
>>107819485>>107819929It's literally just a shitty mediakek android phone with a keyboard gimmick.
>>107819469Why can't they just make this with android?
>>107820941what an absolute piece of shit. it would be less insulting if it was just a regular old fashioned scam.
>>107825772I can't tell you. Secret.
