You are a fan of the Communicator form factor in mobile phones like me, the Cosmo Communicator will bring your memory back to sweet old feeling one had with the legendary Nokia Communicator.

Cosmo Communicator is a clamshell smartphone with a 2-inch display outside that opens up to reveal a 6-inch display and a backlit hardware QWERTY keyboard like a small laptop. Its design is a throwback to the days of the Psion palm tops and Nokia Communicators.

On the inside, however, this is a very up-to-date piece of work. For one, it runs Android Pie, with the option to also boot into Sailfish OS and Linux. There is a Mediatek Helio P70 chipset coupled with 6GB of RAM. Internal storage is 128GB. And for photography, there is a 24 megapixel camera.

The outer 2-inch display is for viewing your notifications. Open the Cosmo up to get productive. There is a fingerprint sensor too for security.

Planet Computers, the manufacturers, tout it as “a pocket computer, mobile phone and camera” rolled together in one.
