BLACKBERRY KEYone SPECS AND FEATURES

Remember what I said about Blackberry being dead? Well,take that thought,put it in a plastic bag,zip and staple the bag,and throw it into oblivion. This new BB device looks awesome and will definitely beat the crap out of whatever Tecno is trying to release. This phone somehow manages to fit a premium looking build and the all Blackberry trademarked QWERTY keyboard(fun fact: did you know that Qwert Yuiop is the inventor of the keyboard? Don't believe me? Grab your laptop,flip it open and check whose name is on the first row of letters.) into this awesome body. And best of all,it runs android. Take a peek:

I like the fact that it has 2 front cameras. Not only Nokia was planning a big comeback.

Blackberry KEYone features Blackberry’s traditional physical keyboard below the screen and runs Android OS, not Blackberry’s dead and forgotten software. The device is powered by a Snapdragon 625 chipset, a 2.0GHz octa-core processor with Adreno 506 GPU.

The 4.5-inch screen has a resolution of 1080 x 1620px, (AWESOME!)and it’s covered with Gorilla Glass 4. There’s a 3GB RAM and the device has an internal storage of 32GB. As for the battery, it has a capacity of 3505mAh. On the connectivity side, the device is 4G-enabled as expected (with Cat 7 LTE, up to 300 Mbit/s downlink and up to 150 Mb/s uplink)

*Just a thought*

You know I like a company that thinks. Why pack a QHD display on a phone and kill it 4 times faster(hence the name 4K) when you can reduce screen size and just have a crispy display?#just thinking.

The back looks like Kevlar.
