#blackberry key one

With the announcement of the BlackBerry KeyOne, TCL is riding on the nostalgia-train to get back old BB fans. Just like the Nokia 3310, the BlackBerry KeyOne pays homage to the keyboard-touting smartphones of yesteryears. The design and form factor of the BB KeyOne looks perfect -- you get a decent-sized touch-screen display (4.5-inches) and a full qwerty keyboard in one large candybar form factor. It's closer to the BlackBerry Priv when the keyboard is fully exposed. Think of this as a 5.5-inch smartphone with an inch of the section been replaced with a physical keyboard although you can still pull up the virtual keyboard if you want to. The full qwerty keyboard is a bit cramped, similar to the one of the Priv, but that's to be expected of a phone this size. Powering the BlackBerry Key One is a Snapdragon 625 octa-core chip which is a mid-ranger processor paired with 3GB of memory. So far, we're liking the BlackBerry Key One.
