Meet the BlackBerry KEYone!

2017-05-04
few things in the tech world are as recognizable or sparked more nostalgia than the keyboard on a blackberry and that is still a thing that is out and exists so like you to meet the latest from blackberry this is the key one they've ditched making their own harvest manufactured by TCL this is kind of a tricky phone to go in and talk about anybody who does a review and bash the phone for having physical keyboard I think is missing the point you buy this phone for the physical keyboard you know it's there when you buy it's not a surprise if you don't want a physical keyboard this looks very clearly not the phone for you so if you're still one of those people that's longing for physical tactile feel of buttons the BlackBerry key one is a surprisingly good phone and a really nice package so let's just start with the keyboard since that's really the big story here it looks and feels like a blackberry keyboard it's got pretty nice key throw it's extremely narrow though it's going to take you at least three days to get you typing on it you're going to have some fat finger syndrome fortunately though blackberry software is really good in recognizing when you're fat thumb hit the wrong key I also really liked you can set any key of the shortcuts they also worry about launching the after we're going to Instagram if you just set the letter I as your Instagram shortcut also degraded to the keyboard this is one of my favorite things about devices like the Priven other sort of modern Android blackberries you can use the keyboard to kind of scroll through a webpage that use your finger on the screen you just go to scroll down the keyboard naturally it feels really good I also like to integrate the fingerprint reader directly into the spacebar we see no had a weird fingerprint placement recently with modern devices that makes sense to me on the bottom of the phone my thumbs almost there I push it and it works and it works almost 100% of the time TCL did a really nice job on the build of this phone is it's a sick phone but it's kind of a weird thing to say but refreshingly thick let's say that GCL was brave nay it took courage to make a fixed phone I don't might have a little sticker device to have better battery life it typed a pretty big battery into a small phone it's a little bit over thirty five hundred million dollars you didn't get about twenty six hours of mixed use so easily a full day of however you decide to use your phone so I usually skip over speakers in review but I get hammered in the comments about it so speakers are awesome they're downward firing and they are stereo speakers and also speaking with speakers you are going to find it frequent five millimeter headset jack on the top and also USB si for charging on the bottom pretty much for at the time now when any processor and a phone is going to be quick enough I noticed no slowdown issues at all I tried some serious multitasking video watching HD video watching there's there was no slowdown here google has launched a huge ad campaign about the camera and their pixel line of phone and it's the sony AMX three seven eight sensor so let me just have you guessed for a second what sensor is in the key one it's exact same sensor that's in the pixel on phones you're getting really quality images pictures still come out looking awesome low lights really good outdoor visibility pictures look really crisp perhaps a little bit oversaturated side but I kind of tend to like that there towards more of what Samsung does at the processing then maybe what Google does it they're processing on the pixels I'm still reviewing the device to see how performs with my daily tasks usually like to test devices for a week before do the review first impressions have been surprisingly good alright so you met the BlackBerry key one what do you want it to focus on in the review and if you're going to start yelling at blackberry in the comments about why would you buy a phone with the keyboard no one's forcing to buy the song if you want to phone with the keyboard it's nice to have options I think that's what Android is about giving you options to find the phone that's right for you if a lot of people the key one might be the right phones for them it's got a good feel it's got a great camera decently priced and if you want to pick one up you can do so on May 31st let's let's end this with the comment of the day it comes from a galaxy s 8 review from fascinator who says holy they got out the smoke machine for this and I realized they had a smoke machine for Galaxy s8 review might seem like a backhanded compliment but honestly we just ordered one to try and use four cool b-roll and the first video we were doing since we had it so we tried it I think
