The KEYone BBB100-5 Dual-SIM 64GB Smartphone from BlackBerry is a sleek and sophisticated amalgamation of BlackBerry's iconic tactile keypad and a modern touchscreen display. However, the KEYone's keypad is more than simple buttons. The tactile smart keyboard is updated with intuitive touch-sensitive features, letting you swipe and flick for fast and convenient typing and navigation. They are joined by a 4.5" 1620 x 1080 IPS LCD touchscreen display and are all housed within a strong aluminum frame.
The BlackBerry KEYone also boasts some impressive mobile photography capabilities, with its 12MP rear autofocus camera, 1.55μm pixel size, and Sony IMX378 imaging sensor. Together they combine to capture sharp and crisp photos, even in low-light situations. The rear camera is also capable of some impressive videography, with support for 4K video recording at 30 fps. For your selfie and video phone call needs, there is an 8MP front-facing camera.
Running the Android 7.1 Nougat operating system, this phone is powered by a Snapdragon 625 Octa-core 2.0 GHz processor and 4GB of RAM. You can store your apps, low-light photos, and group selfies on 64GB of built-in storage, which can be expanded via an (optional) microSD card up to 256GB in size.
This phone is unlocked and compatible with GSM/4G LTE networks. If you travel a lot or have a separate work number, you can take advantage of the Dual SIM slots to access both accounts. Connect to the internet and other devices with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. The KEYone also supports NFC technology for making phone-to-phone data transfers or mobile payments.
