well this one here is uh it's not something that I get to do very often that is check out a new BlackBerry this is the key to I don't remember did I check out the key one I don't think so man one of my very first smartphones was a blackberry I don't remember which model now for me just in a sea of smart phones that are somewhat similar this is kind of a refreshing it's so refreshing to me that I am going to use one of these oh my goodness I'm gonna put my SIM card into one of these and just see what it's like to use a blackberry in 2018 I don't have too many friends on bbm anymore before iMessage the whatsapp the top of the pyramid it was bbm okay well you must have had a blackberry at one point Wow Kirk Jack hey man take it easy there are two colors in front of me 64 gigabyte and six gigs of rent what else can we see on the back here intelligent keyboard powered by Android 4G LTE 4.5 inch IPS 1620 by 1080 display for 434 PPI that has to be one of the smallest displays on any modern smartphone maybe we will see better battery life I'm getting a sense this product is about productivity business making deals spreadsheets I'll book in next Tuesday what is your 12 p.m. looking like how about your 1 snapdragon 616 o 8 Series Snapdragon processor 12 megapixel autofocus there's a wide and Italian 8 megapixel front-facing 3,500 milliamp hours and of course the OS is Android in the silver ooh one thing blackberry still has going for it is this incredible security encryption I know there's a password manager on here a place to keep all your passwords if you are security conscious or you do weird stuff on your smartphone like Jack like well like Kirk this could be a good selection for you a place to keep your secrets silver I kind of like it the screen doesn't seem tiny I could see myself getting used to a display that size we have the power switch a programmable mapable button you hear me Samsung huh and no it does not launch big speed not as heavy as it looks camera unit on the back I don't have the highest expectations can I live with it I don't know we'll see I'm gonna switch I'm gonna put my sim card in a blackberry in 2018 I do it for you yeah you say you think I don't see you because you see the view count and you're like I'm me what I was there's a million views what no you specifically headphone jack why not USB type-c to connect a speaker unit down at the bottom black one the trim is different on the back and of course the frame as well will black or silver will says black Kirk black or silver silver one two one Jack with the tiebreaker Jack's going black what a surprise now this is the perfect time for you guys to decide down in the comments is it gonna be black or is it gonna be silver quick charge 3.0 that is a decent little headphone for a free be interchangeable ear tips blackberry you've outdone yourself so this is cool it actually does have a fingerprint scanner and they've hitting it in the spacebar that's genius and look at that it does have haptic feedback as well cool should we go through some of this the software okay okay so the old Blackberry experience it's not just a hardware thing there are some modifications as well to the software so of course you could go ahead and install any launcher you want but there is a blackberry launcher on top of Android touch and hold the background access settings for your wallpaper widgets and more pop-up widgets is another thing the productivity tab I can swipe out from here this will bring up the newest and most important info slides into view things like calendar new messages tasks contacts and so on you can have these keyboard shortcuts for launching certain apps or even certain pages within apps so you can have it monitor the overall security of the device and if they ever cross the line or attempt to do something you wouldn't expect or you didn't initiate then this monitoring service will be able to tell you so you can see right now I'm in the fare zone security wise let's do some typing the quick brown fox huh what does it jumped over hilly who hailey who da day AKA hailey daily there's something satisfying about clicking buttons I told you about buttons earlier I like them tell me you don't like a button here and there in your life oh that was interesting I just brought up the virtual keyboard you can still have a virtual keyboard if you're insane it's also a touchpad I can scroll right on the physical keyboard how about this custom button over here you can add up to 3 shortcuts ah you can have it trigger a car profile no maybe you have your notifications chilling out in the car cuz it could be distracting right you want to go look at that a text you're dead put your phones down please kids I mean come on now you've got a snap on snapchat what might it be you're dead you saw the snap you're dead oh good that's it even deal is a good trade put down a snapchat when you're driving you hear me I'll find you notifications off Do Not Disturb I am driving could be on the lookout wandering will won't be responsible for his death this is you is the ball like I could live with this here's max 32 gigs a very fancy glowing memory I put it in average territory speaker wise the screen is smaller than you would be used to it's not the greatest display I've ever seen now the camera how do you get around it right like everybody cares about cameras your smartphone is your only camera so I will try the zoom as well I'll say just on initial inspection this maybes a little better than I expected even though we have lights here I'm lit I get all that it's kind of possible I could live I'm worried about this front-facing camera because it seems immediately like it's blowing out the highlights a little bit Oh Jack the dynamic range is not great there where it's blowing out one side of my face which is not a great front-facing camera let me try it like this but like look at this cheek jack wiped it out not a selfie factory here so on that note let's go ahead pop out the SIM card tray here as the expansion lets let's do the thing let's do the dance let's get the SIM card out see if I can live the BlackBerry life see if I enjoy the physical keyboard the taps the button spooned up oh my notifications are coming in it happens now I just switched to a blackberry in 2018 let's find out if it's the real deal or if my life takes a turn for the worse remember watch out for Willy do he's out there he's wandering put your phones down I need your eyes on the road his life depends on me
