BlackBerry KeyOne: All for one and KeyOne for all!

No, this is not 2007. Yet ten years after RIM's heyday my enthusiasm for a BlackBerry device has never been higher! The BlackBerry KeyOne is simply put, a phone fully capable of leisure activity, but optimized for productivity. The spec sheet for this phone is modest, packing a Snapdragon 625 chipset (octo-core 2000 MHz), 3gb of ram, 32 gb native internal memory (expandable up to 2tb by way of microSD), 3505 mAh battery with quick quick via USB-C port, 8 megapixel front camera, a 12 megapixel Sony rear camera capable of 4k shooting and slow-motion capture (same sensor found on the praised Google Pixel), a 4.5 inch touch screen with 434 ppi density (better than a iPhone 7+ !), a fingerprint scanner built into the space bar (because it has an awesome full physical qwerty keyboard!), and an ingenious universal audio out auxiliary port called a headphone jack(I am looking at you apple !). So what does all this really mean? A super complete mobile phone ready for anything! (Short of a dip in the pool, because there isn't an IP Code rating). As my only phone, there is honestly nothing to complain about. The phone is a breeze to use once you get used to typing on physical keyboard. The camera takes exceptional quality photos, videos are great as well. Productivity apps such as PowerPoint , Microsoft Office and others run smoothly without a problem. Apps such as snapchat, Facebook, eBay, all work without a hitch as well. Furthermore, the battery can easily last a whole day if not more! The overall build quality of the phone is sturdy and excellent. When compared to flagship phones recently released such as the Note 8, IPhone 8, 8+ and X, LG V30 and so on, the specs are slightly lower, but specs aren't everything! The BlackBerry with its own specialized streamlined android OS, physical keyboard and touch screen duality, unique productivity and security systems make for a great overall product. As much as I like to keep divulging on my concurrent use, nothing can give you the full experience and satisfaction as purchasing one of these amazing phones yourself! Best BlackBerry phone yet. Thanks for your time, and hopefully catch you on BBM, have a great day!Read full review
