LetsGetHigh 52,683 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 The first big phone announcement of Mobile World Congress goes to TCL and BlackBerry, with the two companies unveiling the BlackBerry KEYone tonight here in Barcelona. The KEYone is an attractive phone with solid fit and finish, hewn from aluminum and covered in Gorilla Glass 4 on the front. The 4.5-inch LCD has a 3:2 aspect ratio and resolution of 1620 x 1080, meaning it’s as sharp as it needs to be. The camera, the same in Google Pixel, is 12 megapixels and uses a Sony sensor with 1.55-micron pixels. The physical keyboard that sits below the screen is touch-sensitive and does a ton of neat tricks. You can use it to scroll without touching the screen; you can assign each key a shortcut, like “I for Instagram” app speed-dial; you can just start typing to start searching Google. There’s also a fingerprint sensor on the space bar. Source / Learn more about the KEYone here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florian 20,017 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Non-event tbqh. They tried to come back few years ago and it didn't work out because they weren't innovative enough in the Android World where every brand has something to propose. I would have expected something a bit more expensive than a midrange phone because of this great camera (the same as Google Pixel). But 599$ for a Snapdragon 625 really ? ... That's dissapointing and out of this world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's dissapointing and out of this world You have 1) a physical keyboard 2) a touch keyboard with fingerprint sensor 3) aluminum frame all throughout 4) battery that lasts you 2 FULL days 5) highest rated camera sensor front and back 6) BlackBerry security, unhackable ANDROID phone, imagine, with security updates released before even Google 7) BlackBerry Hub and all the Hub+ suite that's praised by developers So, yeah $549 for the phone is very much justifiable. SD625 was disappointing but this is for enterprises who won't be playing video games on their phones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal Ambition 47,805 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I remember my Blackberry Torch, one of my favourite phones to date. I really do miss physical keyboards, but I don't think I would ever get one again. I had a Z10 a few years back and the app store was just horrible, not to mention I hated the phone too ▌│█║▌║▌║ before I am Canadian, I am Chromatican ║▌║▌║█│▌ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji 20,113 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Whilst it seems like a slight step in the right direction, I still feel like Blackberry is doing this wrong. They're trying to compete with big screened phones whilst having a physical keyboard, it's just not doable. They need to accept that they need smaller screens and an intuitive operating system that works with the size of the phone. If they launched a phone similar to the *Blackberry curve 8900 but slightly bigger with everything brought up to date, they would have a perfect blackberry that can't be competed with. *Using the curve 8900 as an example because that is my most favourite phone (at the time) that I had used. It was an incredible phone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
