Clicks, a company specializing in physical keyboards for smartphones, revealed its plans to launch its first smartphone along with a new keyboard during CES 2026 in Las Vegas (from January 6 to 9, 2026). This announcement is a bold move for the company, which is famous for its accessories for the iPhone, such as the Clicks Keyboard, which brought back the popularity of the physical keyboard for traditional typing lovers.
The new Clicks phone will be the company’s first full-fledged smart device, with a focus on incorporating a QWERTY physical keyboard integrated into the design, providing a faster and more accurate typing experience compared to touchscreens. The phone is expected to run on Android, with a large screen and medium to high specifications, targeting users who miss the feel of classic phones like BlackBerry. The company will also unveil a new keyboard compatible with Android phones, expanding its previous support, which was exclusive to the iPhone.
According to the report, Clicks aims to revive the idea of the “writer’s phone” in the age of touchscreens, with a focus on productivity and long-form typing without tiring thumbs. The company did not reveal precise details about specifications or prices, but it is expected that the price of the phone will range between 600 and 900 US dollars, while the new panel will be cheaper (about 150-200 dollars), similar to the prices of its previous accessories. The products are expected to be available in the markets during the first half of 2026.
