BlackBerry Key2

 

BlackBerry Key2 review: Is this the ultimate Android phone with a keyboard, or should BlackBerry Mobile stop living in the past?

Keyboard changes make it better than the KeyOne ; Not confined to BlackBerry’s own OS ; Gesture control and shortcuts in the keyboard are great

Too expensive ; Having the physical keyboard is restrictive in most situations ; Awkward to hold ; Camera just ok

For BlackBerry die-hards only.

BlackBerry Key2 review

 

All business in the front and back, less of a multimedia party anywhere in between

Improved keyboard ; Useful Speed Key ; Lots of security features

Worst portrait mode camera yet ; 3:2 screen aspect ratio is odd ; Won't work with all US carriers

The new BlackBerry Key2 is a phone designed entirely for BlackBerry fans. You won't want this if you're thinking of upgrading from a Galaxy S7 and your muscle memory is trained for on-screen keyboards, but for old BlackBerry fans struggling with...

BlackBerry Key2 review: The keyboard phone king

 

The Key2 is the best example yet of modern BlackBerry. The keyboard is massively improved over the KeyOne, the battery will get through a whole day

Keyboard greatly improved over KeyOne ; Battery life is very good ; Solid build quality improvements ; New 'Speed Key' makes multitasking much faster

Quite expensive considering mid-range specs ; Space bar feel is inconsistent with other keys ; Camera could be improved ; It's an undeniably niche phone

TCL has revived the BlackBerry brand but the Key2 is a phone for purists only. Read our full review to see if you should buy the BlackBerry Key2

BlackBerry Key2 review

 

A king of smartphone productivity, but just misses the mark when it comes to entertainment

Good battery life ; Improved design & better keyboard ; Lots of customisation options

Fairly expensive ; Screen isn’t great for video streamers or gamers ; Cameras are just ok

Phone keyboards aren’t the future, but the Key2 is more interesting and worthwhile than “just another” Android

BlackBerry Key2 mobile phone review

  (Rating Hidden)

BlackBerry is a name that needs little introduction. It may have seriously fallen out of favour over the past 10 years, but such is the staying power of its iconic design, few will have forgotten it. The BlackBerry Key2 mobile phone aims to form a...

BlackBerry Key2 - Review - Coolsmartphone

 

The Introduction BlackBerry is a brand that has been around for so many years now. There aren't many phone-fans who won't remember a cherished BlackBerry

A big thanks to BlackBerry for sending us the Key2 to review and for being part of the launch event to get a hands-on for coverage.

BlackBerry Key2 review (hands on): A blast from the past that no one really needs

 

The BlackBerry Key2 is slimmer, faster and more refined than its predecessor, but remains a blast from the past

I’m personally not convinced the world still needs a smartphone with a keyboard, not when touchscreen keyboards are so good today but if you do fancy something different from the usual black slabs, the BlackBerry Key2 appears to be well designed, well...
