If true this is great. It will have more than enough power for 99% of tasks and will be able to do it all smoothly.
The Clicks Communicator, if you haven’t heard of it, is an upcoming Android phone with a physical keyboard.
It currently has pre-orders open however a working prototype hasn’t been shown yet, with one coming Q2 according to the company. Release is expected Q4 this year. They have successfully released keyboard cases for other phones in the past.
It’s not impossible for custom ROMs to exist. And possibly GSIs.
Maybe being a enthusiast niche device (and a unique one) could mean a bit more dev attention.
People are already laying the groundwork for custom ROMs on the iKKO MindOne, and that phone has a more unusual MediaTek processor and a much smaller following. I can pretty much guarantee there will be similar (larger scale) interest in developing for the Communicator.
