BlackBerry’s KEYone

‘Offers’ more than good looks BlackBerry’s KEYone ‘Black Edition’

Events

BlackBerry’s most interesting phone in years – if not an entire decade – is that the KEYone, an android device with a classic BlackBerry hardware keyboard that finally answers the wants of actually dedicated thumb typists with a modern mobile OS. Now, the KEYone ‘Black Edition’ has arrived, and it’s quite just a fresh coat of paint on an older gadget.

 

In fact, the ‘Black Edition’ doubles the internal storage of the KEYone, from 32GB up to 64GB (and it retains its expandable memory capability via microSD) – plus, it boosts RAM up to 4GB, that could be a very welcome change from the 3GB on the initial, if only because the one grievance I had regarding the original KEYone was that it could feel a bit pokey in places in terms of the speed of elements of the OS and some} aspects of a few applications.

 

 

 

The ‘Black Edition’ feels speedier in all regards, after a few days of testing, and still retains all the charm of the original. The all-black design feels a bit less retro, but on the full is probably a more appealing look for a larger segment of the population vs. the dual-tone silver and black of the original. and therefore the phone benefits from months of production of the KEYone by TCL, that should mean it’s got less in the way of manufacturing quirks.

 

Basically, this can be the current best BlackBerry you can buy, and it’s actually up there in terms of the highest android device choices – for a certain type of buyer. That is, if you worth the physical keyboard, and therefore the convenience that comes with having a whole lot of hardware shortcuts for apps and actions at your fingertips, and you’re not as concerned about having a large, generous display for watching videos or other content, this is probably right up your alley.

 

The ‘Black Edition’ KEYone also has that assignable dedicated hardware button on the side, that is far more helpful than the Note 8’s Bixby button, and therefore the keyboard doubles as a trackpad for scrolling and other features which keep the display free of obfuscation while browsing Twitter and reading documents.

 

BlackBerry’s ‘Black Edition’ KEYone went on sale this week in Canada at Amazon, Telus and Walmart for $799.99 off contract.
