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?

    It is likely a glass back, since it supports wireless charging (a big no no for metal backs)

      Plastic, why can’t we have plastic phones?

      I have an entry-level Moto that’s all plastic. So light. Bounces when dropped. Plastic back texture makes it easy to grip.

      My Samsung S4 with a plastic back had wireless charging in 2017!

      I want wireless charging to work, but frankly it sucks. It’s slow, it heats everything.
