BlackBerry Key2 hands-on review

07 June 2018
In a sea of smartphone sameness, there are very few outliers, that can still boast a unique angle of their own. Most of TCL's lineup still proudly fits into that category. Understandably, all the turbulence and leadership change in recent years did result in some plain devices, like the DTEK models. On the flip side, devices like the Keyone embody the classic BlackBerry spirit in full.

No more BB, 07 Jun 2018Overpriced Chinese phone with BB logo, which will lag after... moreIf the KEYone gives us anything to go off of, it will be perfectly fine for a long time.

    @Rick: Aluminum 7000 have higher density than 6000, ergo is heavier. The lighter Key2 is not because of Aluminum 7000 used in it.
    Cheers.

      Indeed this is a phone for us old people...we have the money to spend, and the appreciation for the pkb :-). I'm loving my KeyONE, might have to upgrade to the Key2.

        its nice to see fresh air in mobile design(or rather keeping good old one) + physical buttons are always welcome.

        I hope build quality is better after some usage and software is not that annoying as before...

                I don't need physical keyboard on my phone. Physical keyboards are for old people, granny, gramps.

                  Well, keyboard lovers will love this more! (Except for that price)

                    I'm actually impressed with this Key 2. I was expecting BB would go with SD636 considering KeyOne has 625. But SD660 is the perfect choice. Good thing that BB didn't go for unnecessary gimmicks. Now, if BB prices it right, we have a winner.

                      Well, ofcourse the full review will tell everything but, considering my key points from a phone which are 3.5mm jack, min 3500mah battery and monthly security updates, this device combines them perfectly. You will never dissapoint with this, for sure.
