Blackberry KEYone Limited Edition Black Unboxing and Hands on By iGyaan

Hey guys, what's up, and today we're going to be unboxing and taking a first look at the new black, very limited edition black. Let's quickly get started now, while the key one was already available, the Black Edition or the limited edition black is quite different from the original key one. For starters, this one has been manufactured by optimist intercom and has a bunch of other details and features that are different from the original one. Let's quickly get started with the unboxing, the box is pretty iconic I'm, going to pull off this slipcover and then quickly cut into the main box once I lift off the top lid. The first thing inside the box is the BlackBerry itself. If is spectacularly well-built in the hand I'm going to place it to the side for the time being, if I go further in I do get a sim ejector tool along with some documentation.

That's in there I also get a standard, USB type-c cable, which will be used for charging as well as data syncing. And then you have a wall charger which is also a standard wall charger and a quick charge. Three compatible wall charger as well. Also, inside the box are blackberry earphones, along with additional ear tips to fit according to your ear size and that's basically, everything from the box. Let's take a quick look at the device itself now, if I do a quick one over with the device over this front, you'll see a really nice finished front panel.

Now you do have a large earpiece or an ear phone over there, along with a front-facing 8 megapixel camera. Now this is an F 2.2 camera, with a 1.1 to 5 micron pixel size below. That is a 4.5 inch display. Now the display is a 16 20 by 1080p display, so essentially a Full HD display, but slightly less due to the size and the aspect ratio. It does have four hundred and thirty-four pixels per inch.

It is an IPS LCD, and it does have Corning Gorilla Glass 4 over at the front, you can see the display curls into the sides, looks absolutely fantastic. Now, just underneath the display are the three touch capacitive buttons and below. That is the physical blackberry keyboard, which is also touch enabled, and the space bar does have a fingerprint sensor. I'm going to talk about the keyboard in just a bit over the bottom you'll see the USB type-c port along the dual grills one for the microphone one for the main speaker over the right is where the convenience key is and above that are the volume buttons and above that is the SIM tray, which also accepts two SIM cards over the top. Is the noise cancellation microphone along with the full-size 3.5 mm headphone jack and over the left, is where the power button is on the back. You get a 12 megapixel camera with 1.5 5, micron pixel size and face detect order, focus along with 4k video recording capabilities. You also get the dual tone: LED flash.

Interestingly enough, the device does have this soft texture back panel, which looks and feels absolutely great in the hand. It reminds me of the good old Blackberry days with the bold series phones used to feel this great, but this one has a soft touch metal around the device and all the sides and edges curving really nicely and looks and feels absolutely great in the hand now running, everything is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 to 5 chipsets as an outscore chipset, with a to give you heard peak along with the Adrian 5 or 6 GPU, which is running at 650 megahertz, the device does have full gigabyte of RAM along with 64 gigabytes of storage, and can accept a micros card up to 2 terabytes when they become available powering everything up is a350 5 William power battery. They promise a full day of battery life with this, along with quick charge, 3.0, which is supported natively using the charger that is included inside the box and the minute you boot up the device you'll see the performance is pretty impressive. It is running Android, 7.1.1 out of the box and I, mostly stock --is--, along with the security layer added by blackberry, which is also available to access via an app called detect by blackberry, which will constantly check your security level on your device. Now the BlackBerry keyboard is fascinating and with the new key one, you do get a bunch of customizations that you can get on the keyboard.

So if you long press any of the buttons you can customize them to have their own launchers. So if you long press on the AI, you can launch Instagram or if you short press on the eye, you can launch the browser again. You can customize all of these buttons. You can have em for music player or maps. Furthermore, you can also have C for camera or T for tasks.

Furthermore, you can customize all of these things from the launcher, customizations, and you can set up to 52 keyboard shortcuts, which again can come in really handy for you once you start getting used to this keyboard. No typing on this keyboard. If you are coming from touch, keyboard may not be as easy as you would expect, but the keyboard is touch enabled, and it comes in really handy if you are browsing the web, and you don't want to get smudges on your screen, so you can just scroll your finger across the keyboard and the screen responds to that which is great, and you can really get used to that now. The main camera is a 12 megapixel camera, and it has a large 1.5, 5 micron pixel size. It does have an f/2 lens, and you do get video and image stabilization, but it is electronic image stabilization.

So if you're capturing 4k video on this, you won't get any stabilization. You'll have to dumb down to 1080p at 30 frames per second to be able to get any sort of video stabilization for images. Image stabilization is available electronically on the device. The camera is pretty basic, you do have a bunch of shooting modes, and you can also catch a slo-mo video, but you don't have any pro mode or any custom modes on this device, which is slightly disappointing. The front-facing 8 megapixel camera is also pretty sharp and does have a wide length, so you can get in a bunch of detail in your images, along with the fact that it does have autofocus and a bunch of settings that you can customize along with the HDR, which can really come in handy for kicking those front-facing pictures all in all the BlackBerry key one limited edition black reminds me of the good old days when blackberry was really shining with the really great build quality, but what they have changed is their understanding of things.

So you do get Android 7.1.1 out of the box, so that's latest in terms of the Android available today. Officially, and this will get updated to Android. Oh, you do get Qualcomm quick charge.3, you do get great cameras on the front as well as the back, and you do get a decent display. You're not getting the best chipset, but as far as this device is concerned, and the form factor that it has a lot of people who do a lot of typing will start to enjoy the physical keyboard a lot more than a touch keyboard, and it's essentially for those people and for those who, like blackberry phones in the past, and still looking for something like that. This one may be a perfect option, giving you the added layer of security and a bunch of customizations for the keyboard.
