    They are being made by smaller companies, the problem is that the so-called “demand” always has excuses as to why they don’t buy them. It was the same with small phones - many people claimed to want them yet the sales didn’t reflect that.

      Well I would definitely buy a phone with a physical keyboard if I had any available around me. Years ago I even bought that moto Z phone that allowed attachable devices because they said there would be a keyboard for it - but they never released any.

      The AI stuff I don’t mind as much as long as long as it remains being just software that I can disable.

          Yeah just heard about Clicks from the other reply and instantly tried to buy one, but for some reason their shipping partners do not ship to Brazil specifically.

        Unihertz has a physical keyboard series called the Titan, which is getting a new release later this year. There’s also the recently released Minimal Phone and the Clicks keyboard accessory for the Motorola razr 50 series.

      As someone who held on to the Pixel 4a for as long as possible, I feel like my demand should have been felt. Can’t speak for others.

        Unfortunately buying is a much stronger signal than not buying. There could be many reasons why you didn’t buy a new phone vs the one reason you did buy a phone - you like it the most given your budget.
