The Clicks Communicator is taking a very different path from today’s slab phones! 📟

It promises 5 years of Android and security updates, a Dimensity 8350 chip, 6.1" 120Hz OLED display, 4,500mAh battery, and a full physical keyboard, aiming to revive classic messaging phones in a modern smart way.

Honor is set to revolutionize battery technology with its Silicon-Carbon Blade battery, which is as thin as playing cards.

This battery offers a larger capacity than a 6600 mAh, likely for the Magic V6, while maintaining an ultra-slim design, potentially setting a new standard for foldable phones.
