Zinwa Q27: the keyboard phone that waits on demand
The Zinwa Q27 is a 2025-launched phone with a physical keyboard, powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip and offering 12GB of RAM. It comes in 256GB or 512GB variants and sports a 4-inch AMOLED screen at 1080 x 1240 resolution. It's now open for pre-orders, but the manufacturer has left the shipping date blank.
Pre-orders start at $420, with an extra $60 for the 512GB version. The phone includes a notification LED, eSIM, NFC, and a 4000mAh battery with 33W fast charging. It even ships with a pre-applied screen protector and free case — but no cable. That means buyers must bring their own.
Zinwa says it will manufacture the phone in quantities matching pre-orders. But it has not announced how long the pre-order window will last. That leaves buyers waiting, without a clear time frame, to see if the product even arrives.
The Zinwa Q27 isn’t the only physical keyboard phone in the market — there’s also the Unihertz Titan 2 Elite and the Clicks Communicator. But the Q27’s price and promised Android 16 out of the box make it stand out.
