Abstract: The BlackBerry Keyone brings back an awful lot of memories. The first smartphone I owned was a BlackBerry 8820; I bought it because I was just starting out as a freelance technology journalist and I wanted email on the go. Not just any email on the go, bu...
Underpowered CPU, Expensive, Physical keyboard won't be for everyone
The BlackBerry KeyOne feels like a return to form. From what I've seen, it has all the best features of BlackBerry's previous Android phones and could be the ideal choice for any buyer on the market for a security focused smartphone. However, I do have...

Ergonomic keyboard with clever functionality, Decent battery life with fast charging, Sharp screen with great speakers to match, Build quality stands out
Small screen not great for watching movies, Keyboard gets in the way of gaming, Camera performance could be better
Outside of those features the KeyOne is an upper-mid-range Android. You get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor inside it, which is smack bang in the middle of the range and optimised for battery life rather than speed. You get 3GB of RAM and 32GB of buil...

Keyboard implementation and programmable shortcuts are brilliant, Great battery life, Software additions enhance Android
Inevitable stretch/reposition to reach parts of the screen, The power button is in the wrong place
We've had a love-hate relationship with some recent BlackBerry devices. But with the keyboard firmly back, security as top priority as ever, and decent software features such as BlackBerry Hub running on an app-friendly Android base, the KeyOne looks like...
Does it still have an audience, A very early prototype
The new BlackBerry for 2017 is so new that TCL hasn't finished with the design or specs, but what we've seen gives us the best of familiar hardware and some of the newest Android software...
Great battery life, Solid display, Good all-round camera
Mixed design, Finicky QWERTY keyboard
The BlackBerry KEYone is a device that needs to usher in the next chapter of BlackBerry's evolution and a continued desire to make touch and type devices worthwhile. Unfortunately, the KEYone's design and overall experience remain too mixed to be consider...
The limited edition BlackBerry KEYone has a nostalgia attached to it which could transpires into the sales number for the Optiemus. The smartphone packs a punch with good processor, cameras and battery being the highlight apart from the iconic logo. It co...
The new BlackBerry KeyOne was an attempt to regain the BlackBerry fans through its physical keyboard and the taste of Android operating system. However, in terms of performance, the device lags behind the competitor's flagship devices due to the poor choi...
BlackBerry Keyboard is great, DTEK security and BB Hub are useful apps, Good battery life, Camera clicks good pics in well-lit conditions
Overall performance could have been better, Display aspect ratio isn't great for watching videos, Inconvenient power button placement
As a standalone device, the BlackBerry KeyOne is a good phone. However, throw competing smartphones into the mix at the same price point and it's difficult to recommend the KeyOne...
Ergonomic design, Physical QWERTY, Good battery life
3:2 screen aspect ratio, Cameras could be better, Not powerful enough
Just like the Priv, the DTEK50 and the DTEK60, the KEYone has its software in place. It comes with decent hardware as well, and the physical QWERTY is a useful addition, the usefulness of which would depend on the end-user. Then, there's the nostalgia. "I...
