Replaceable rear covers / planned concepts
The phone that changes
with your plans.
Mirror for the train. A creator grip for the window. A night-out rear for everything after dark. The interchangeable back is designed to make B.Line unmistakably yours.
Creator Grip
Stick it to smooth glass. Step back. Frame the shot. Create.
Night Out
Bottle opener and sealed pouch holder, built into a rear made for the late one.
Backplates shown are planned concepts and will only be offered if they pass fit, durability and safety validation.
The smartphone evolved. The numb glass slab didn't.
Everything smart.
Far more human.
B.Line keeps the capability you rely on and returns the things modern phones removed: feel, memory, privacy and a clear way to step away.
01
Feel every word.
Tactile by design
Feel every word.
Find your flow.
Slide B.Line open to a full physical keyboard. Type with real travel, then turn the knurled navigation wheel to move through a page or a thought. Each control has its own place and purpose.
- Slide-out mechanical keyboard
- Analogue jog dial
- Dedicated camera shutter
- Programmable front RGB notification light
Privacy you can see
Close both cameras.
Properly.
Software can promise. Hardware can prove. B.Line is designed with a physical privacy flap for the rear camera and a separate flap for the front camera.
A shutter just for you.
Close the lens. Keep the moment yours.
Hexica OS / Android-based
The phone can be quiet
without becoming useless.
Hexica OS is built around the life on either side of your screen. Keep the apps you need. Choose when they are allowed to reach you.
Home ModeWork apps, messages and Sunday-scare notifications disappear until you choose to return.
Work ModeSocial noise is silenced while the tools and people your work needs remain available.
Sanctuary ModeOptional monochrome, essential tools and a calmer surface when you want your attention back.
Dopamine InterceptorAn optional five-minute breathing pause before the apps you choose. A little space to decide if you really want to scroll.
Time-Machine Camera
Take the kind of picture
you used to keep.
Choose the feeling before you press the shutter. B.Line's planned camera engine tunes capture into the hardware, so the era is part of the photograph—not another filter buried in an app.
00s Cyber-shotFlash on. Night out. Everyone in.
Hard flash, cool colour and the imperfect digital energy of the camera you took everywhere.
InstantA moment that already feels kept.
Soft contrast, warm skin and the emotional shorthand of an instant print.
90s 35mmThat summer.
That feeling.
Warm light, gentle grain and the holiday photos you still come back to.
Mood references for the planned camera modes. These images were not taken on B.Line.
One phone. A more personal relationship.
If this is what you have been waiting for, be first through the door.

Designed in Manchester
Trust starts with telling you where the work really is.
Hexica is an independent Manchester hardware startup. B.Line is in development, and the next major milestone is high-precision CNC prototyping: the point where renders become tolerances, mechanisms and something you can actually hold.

Questions worth answering.
Can I actually preorder B.Line today?
Not yet. Every preorder button opens first access instead of taking payment. This lets Hexica contact you when the final specification, delivery estimate and full preorder terms are ready.
Will B.Line cost £649.99?
£649.99 is the planned preorder price. If development changes that price before checkout opens, the updated total will be shown clearly before you make any payment.
When will B.Line ship?
A responsible delivery window cannot be published before CNC prototypes and core engineering validation are complete. First-access members will receive the timeline before preorders open—not after paying.
What specifications are confirmed?
The current product direction includes the physical keyboard, jog dial, dedicated shutter, camera privacy flaps, replaceable rear, HexKey system, 3.5mm jack with integrated DAC and Android-based Hexica OS. Final chipset, camera modules, battery, dimensions, network bands, ingress rating and included accessories remain subject to validation.
Will it work with my network?
Final supported bands, eSIM/SIM configuration, markets and carrier compatibility will be published before preorders are accepted.
Will Klarna Pay in 3 be available?
It is a planned checkout option, subject to Hexica's merchant approval, final integration and individual eligibility. It will only be shown at checkout if it is genuinely available.
