Hello everyone,

i am writing this from my old blackberry key 2 which is getting around 8 years now, has android 8.1. i need a successor phone.

I need a qwertz keyboard, qwerty is ok too.

So i was happy when they announced the clicks communicator and now there is a second option, the minimal phone 2. Both will come out in december 2026 if everything goes according to plan.

The unihertz titan 2 elite is out there too, but i prefer to have the option to have an open bootloader, so the titan is out of my scope....

I like that the minimal has its own android and says: its your device, of course it has an open bootloader...

But its around 100€ more money...

How would you decide?

Well,

thank you for your big response.

It really comes a little bit down to:

Do you want a influencer secondary phone, or a more tech oriented minimalistic phone.

And i believe both phones will be good. One difference is also, the clicks has qi2 and the minimal has qi1. I am used to the fingerprint sensor on the spacebar and a led light, but that doesnt mean that the clicks phone is the wrong approach.

The thing, that gets me with the minimal is just: its your device, of course its unlocked bootloader.

And clicks: the bootloader will be unlockable if you contact the manufacturer.

As i am doing almost everything with my keyboard, the minimal is the better use, the commands is great feature, which will hopefully just add entrys not just google calender but also in something like fossify calendar....

I think i will refund my clicks order and get the minimal, even if its 100dollar more expensive.
