Blackberry KeyOne: First Blackberry From China – Hands-on Review By Mobiwatch NET

The BlackBerry t1 has arrived. We will have a closer look and first test results for you, so stay tuned, yeah. Well, the BlackBerry key one is a special blackberry because it's the first one made by TCL. That's in Chinese electronic company. They already have the brand name for smartphones from Alcatel and now board it from blackberry. So the Canadians just do the software.

Well, that's Android, OS we'll come to this, but a little later. But all the typical blackberry features like detail. Blackberry messenger will come to this in the second half of this video. Let's stay stick a little with the hardware for the first one. So first, you see that really solid metal frame built runs around here.

It's very heavy 187 grams, so you really have something in your palm, and so I thought. Well, it's very stable and the first thing I already do is a little bending test, not breakage bending, but just typical for regular usage to see is the glass pressing down somewhere? Is it creaking or cracking and just see like what happens with no power at all here the display when door? First, on one side and seconds later, on the other side, while having no power at all- and this is something shouldn't happen, especially or now has to restart, especially because I have tested during the rears a lot of BlackBerry devices, they all wear very solid, very stable, never happened, anything like that and that's the first from TCL, and we have this problem here. I do not know at the moment if this is typical or not, I have to wait for your replies. So let me know in the comments in case you have a key one. I have tried this out, at least in some store.

If this happened to you also, if this is just a single one exception or is, this is typical for this one that they have to less glue below here, I, not quite sure, but turns on, like this I have to bring this to the attention of the manufacturer of TCL. This happens really seconds ago before I started this video just try this one here to see how its sharp, and then I had this problem here. So, let's see, nevertheless, we go a little into details because nevertheless you could be interested as this is, of course a question of warranty. So if this happens to you in the first days just make an exchange of the completely lives. If it happens after weeks a month, then you will have to let it repair, but that's a 1g case, of course.

So, let's start with the display. Of course, we have here that ya very unusual size, because we ask that mechanical keyboard here below. So this is just four point: four six inches or 130 millimeters in the diagonal and to a solution of 1080 by 1620. So you come to a pixel density of 295 pixels per square millimeter 436 PPI, that's 1% above the average. So absolutely ok, no newest records or something.

But you can reduce tiny text here. That's tiny one. Without any problem, quite sharp, and especially you do not see any single pixels or something, so it's completely enough, and especially higher pixel density, always means shorter one times and the battery that will come to this validator. So for me, I find them their display. Absolutely ok from the quality not to mention this one here, especially as its dual domain IPS.

We have high viewing angle stability and especially the brightness is really shockingly great, because I already had to turn this down for this video, because otherwise, if I had pushed it up to the max. You would see this one because everything else is dropping dead around about here. So this one is really bright. That's up to 637, nits or Candela per square meter. So that's 80.

Sorry 38% above the average rank 3 one of the most of the brightest smartphones I've ever tested rank 3, at least in bright conditions like this one here. If he has direct sunlight 633, lets that's a lot so even in bright sunlight, you can read without any problem, but now let me go like that again to have a better view for you here in this video. So display is okay. I mean the quality, not the solidity here of the crafting. So, coming with that, to the multimedia on the front, you have 8 megapixels videos in Full HD and on the back, not one of these dual lens systems here, just a single camera, nevertheless, or the more I do not understand why this is no optical image stabilizer, especially we are talking here about 599 euro, at least in Germany Europe, including 92 syntax.

So it's really top class phone, and then I expect an optical image. Stabilizer. The resolution is 12 point 3 megapixels sounds a little low, but you have that bright dials on the photo sensor, meaning they are catching a lot of light. So the manufacturer is telling that we are perfect in low light conditions. We have to test that, of course, like always as soon as possible as text on my website.

That's mobile watch botnet as soon as possible take some weeks because I really have a lot of reviews to do now, so it pleases be a little patient concerning this. I will do so, and here we are at videos in 4k, Ultra HD means four times Full HD resolution and two-tone flash on the backside. If this is really working, it would be at least enough good enough, I'd say- or at least great. We have to see how this is in the review. Remember that to 4G s, of course, we are not megabits Wi-Fi AC NFC, the SAR del G of the radiation value, at least in German Europe.

It's 0.77 watts per kilogram. On the hat, that's not too low, but not too. It's ok, I! Guess, and especially you do not have your blackberry, I, guess all day long for phone calls at your head. You will use it in front of your body without anybody contact your texting typing reading. So I guess it's no problem for anyone of you coming with that to the memory here on the side, you can insert a micros card officially up to two terabytes, that's the max of the standard.

Oh, I guess I shut down here, yeah, that's a little going very rapidly here. So let me restart! Oh, no! That's the camera! Here we are okay and so that's the maximum two terabytes of the standard. But usually off, you will now have micro, SD cards with up to 512 gigabyte maximum. That's enough internal memory, and here we go it's just 32 gigabytes, leaving a net of 20.3 gigabyte. That's not too much for 600 euro, just 32 gigabytes or next 20, that's a little too low.

Even if you can insert the micro SD card LS. Well, I have expected for that price. At least 64 gigabytes. That's a little very poor for that price. Oh there, you should have said $4.99 everything. Okay, especially when we come to the processor, because that's the snack line 625 and that's a mid class processor and the price is high class.

That's not fitting together! Don't get me wrong! It's completely! Ok! So you can see here scrolling this move and let me start some apps here going back like this one. Okay, here's now to load something well early! Oh, it's really quickly! It's completely enough for your, for the traffic group was blackberry and everything okay, but the price performance ratio is not a good one, especially see what I found out in the benchmarks. It's always more than 50. Well yours, out of 15 several benchmarks, and here the snapdragon with 8 cores, 2 gigabytes, the gigahertz clock rate, Arena 5 or 6, and 3 Gaza gigabytes of ram made completely complete result and overall result of 13% below the average. So c7 625, like I, said it's a mid class processor.

Whatever you do, it stays necklace. You, that's not good enough for that price, even if it's enough for every day, and especially if you think gaming, for example, I can't imagine that heavy gamers will buy a blackberry because all the buttons here do disturb only so. That's not the target group. So it's okay, but again no good price performance ratio concerning the processor and concerning the internal memory. That's two points with that.

Let's come to the battery, that's built-in you can remove by ourselves here, and it's three thousand four hundred 40 Williams, and I'm testing that with video playback at when it needs the display in flight mode, meaning really an on screen time with processor stressing. So we come in here to a result of 740 sorry, 750, six minutes, 756 minutes, that's 42 percent! Above the average meaning you have a lot of one time. Even have users will come through a day for sure if you're, a regular user will have at least two days, maybe even three without recharging. That should be a good result for all smartphones but yeah. Of course, you can do because you have that tiny display 4.7 inch to remind you. So of course it comes here from the resolution from the smaller display, but the result is counting, and it's a very, very good one with that.

Let's come to the software and by the way you have a fingerprint scanner of Tools. Here, it's hiding below that space tab here and without coming to the BlackBerry features. First, one you already saw here that the detect feature: it's not a new feature like the one, it's just a security central saying to you, for example: how well you do not have any factory reset protection, or you should maybe encrypt your data or have a screen lock so reminding you of things you might have forgotten, and especially you can use all the BlackBerry's like this one, also in your company. So you have that called Android at work, and you can have several settings. You cannot do with a regular Android, so it's a little better for security reasons or the BBM.

The blackberry, messenger I didn't configure this one here, because it's right out of the box, just some tests and I didn't configure it for everyday use, but you can imagine how a messenger is looking like and that's encrypted. So that's one point: the other thing is all these shortcuts here. I really appreciate that, because you do not have for a sad event: okay I do not have so just it is quite wicked thing to say: okay I'll have to search my calendar. I have to open the calendar and press the plus icon then have that you in general here. So that's why children? You can have these all where you want to, or these shortcuts here from A to Z.

You can, for example, be for browser and have your chrome just have your beep pressed here for a while and then your browser starting, and you can configure that for all a those and all your letters and reconfigure it. How often you want to that's very clever all the other thing here, for example, that productivity tab I, know I had to configure this, but I didn't really have the time and have to test so many new phones here. So please be patient with that. I couldn't really couldn't do, but you can imagine here, you have your new appointments or add a new one. Your messages, your contacts, it is the only thing, I detected.

What has changes, for example, this one that you now have the settings here? At least it should react like this one now. Well, maybe I break more because that productivity tab in the former blackberries you could just remove it. Why I drag and drop? You now have to do this resolution settings here and hide and the transparency or, if you want it on left side, so you now do this here, but it's the same features and of course you have still the blackberry help. That's the media center or the communication center. So they have the blackberry messenger.

You have the text, messages and all the email accounts you have configured, and they're coming all together here. In one chronological overall overview, so it's really. If you are communicating a lot, is really helpful. I really like that BlackBerry hub or the other feature. For example, you may have detected that there are some icons here with three dots: it's called pop-up widget, so widget, you know if you tap here, and you can go like that, widget you have to drag and drop, and then you have a widget on your home screen, but you have it permanently, and it takes a lot of space here.

So it's no problem to have ten, let's say ten home screens with all these widgets here and this pop-up widget do not need that space, but they bring you the same features because you just swipe over it. You have your pop-up, you do what you want to do and afterwards you tap somewhere else and the pop-up is gone or messages here, for example, do what you want to do? I am done, and so you have the features, the functionality, but without wasting all the precious space here on the home screens and that meaning you do not have to scroll. So much I really love that idea. I do not know why and oh I didn't over, take it over from that layer, because it's a really great idea, but let's hope that it's still coming. Birds I really love this one and last of all, of course you have the mechanical a keyboard.

That's the German version! That's not correctly that squirts here, but it's also available, of course, in other languages, and it's like always, you have these mechanical buttons here, very small, but nevertheless very precise, because you like, we know that and love it from blackberry from forward blackberries on the right half you have it optimized for the right button, meaning the upper left corner, there's kind of a peak, so you really have that precise haptically. Okay, this is the button and on the left half here, it's optimized for the left button being in the upper right corner. There is that peak. So you really, let's go to a new message here. I want to show you that you really can have that precise optical feedback here and whatever the messages are or the fear and what you can hear.

The things you might want to say you just can tap on it or just swipe on it just on the left, because if you have one hand usage only you can do like that much more easily than to tap here. So it's really quick, even a little quicker. I! Guess if you compare this one to swipe, for example, you know these swipe I love swipe, don't get me wrong, but this is a little quicker, because all these features here are very intelligent, because if you always use specific phrases, for example, he's reminding those phrases- and you will have kind regards so on whatever here with that one and like I, showed you- you can have a swipe to the left- and it's deleting word by words you, for example, and even scroll through websites, for example. If you have this one here- and this again is a little better. If you have one-hand usage like this, because you do not have to reach over here and do like this, it's a little more comfort here.

So it's really something yeah. They sort a lot about usage of smartphones with that mechanical keyboard and without, so I really love these blackberry features. So that's the BlackBerry key one I hoped I could be happy a little with some first impressions here, and we will see in the final review how the reaction of blackberry or TCL will be concerning this one here and please, let me know if you own one or if you have a friend who owns one. If you have the same problem, and maybe you dare to try the same one, just a little just a little, not too much, and let me know, as this happens to you also, so please be so kind to rate this video. Maybe you easily fess up and like I told you please let me know what you think about the BlackBerry one, the price of the features and everything.

Let me know that in the comments thanks for that in advance, take care.
