BlackBerry KeyOne Still Worth Buying? By More With TK

Alright guys so spoiler alert TK here with total tech, and I'm back with another video. This is the BlackBerry key one Black Edition. Now I could get into a lot of specifics on what this phone is, and you know what if you know. Is it still relevant and all of that, and I will remember. I actually did a video on the BlackBerry key one I got a Silver Edition a while back, and I still have that phone, and I'm shot to my peoples over a blackberry. They actually sent me out this black edition of the BlackBerry key one uh with one caveat yeah, it's got the damn death star on it, so I've been having to use it on 18t, stuck on 18 T or being that it was stuck on 18 t, here's, the news, flash calls and whatnot on this thing have been really, really good: I hate, I, don't say: I hate to network I, just don't like how they treat customers sometimes, and you guys know how I feel about consumers.

You know like if a company screws, a consumer you're not getting my money, but it did come with a pre-installed since oh I've been rocking it and shout out to some people who talked to me on the regular at know. I may have technology problems or network problems from time to time, but this one has worked fairly reliably talk about this camera. It's got to be the most frustrating thing to me being that this thing basically had the same sensor as the original Google Pixel, which we also know took perfect photos right. Here's the problem, blackberries set up or whatever you want to call with this camera. Isn't that great and as far as stabilization goes, even if you have stabilization mode on its garbage and here's the sucky part, you can't really install a Google camera on it because it doesn't have v2 or version for the API on there, so you're kind of just stuck with whatever you get here now.

If you got a gimbals just they can take perfect video and takes pretty good photos. But outside that, this is not the camera phone. It was great. I guess maybe for It's time it was great for me to mess around with it. It's great if you just want to drop a photo great.

If you want to throw something, if you want to jump on the gram you know, I'm saying it really just depends what you want to do, so I mean look man what's going on here, it just depends on man, it really just depends on how important the camera is to you. For me, the camera is actually important. I can't really mess around with a bum-ass camera, not saying that the camera is a bum, it's just I, don't see TCL or blackberry. Who does the software really focusing on camera quality and that's really not who this phone is for? If you probably notice you notice that I got rid of the BlackBerry launcher, and I'm gonna talk about why that is. This thing comes to a grinding halt.

If you use any app intensive app and what I mean by that is, let's say, you're running Facebook, or you're running something else. This thing will run to a frigging crawl and not to mention like the little build quality issues that this thing has look at the back here see where it's raised right there that's kind of annoying, especially for what you're paying for with this phone. Oh, by the way, it's also not water-resistant, but look man the thing for me if this phone is worth right now, you know it's 350 bucks unlocked at Best, Buy. Okay. Is it worth that uh? It really depends on and look at that with the Best Buy drop.

It really depends on what you need your phone to do if the keyboard is what's most important to you, here's the thing this right here, this uh. Let me see if this thing will actually work. You can see the lag in the stutter that this thing gets just from some usage it because the three gigs of RAM it gets down to a crawling halt, but the touch keyboard. The reason why I say this over the key to LE, if you're not using super crazy, app intensive stuff like if you just use Instagram you're, not really using Facebook, but you're tapping out emails, then get this phone. If you need you're going to need that extra gigabyte of RAM, though, if you think you're going to do Facebook and the whole nine and with the key to Ellie, you don't have this very nice premium, feeling keyboard so for those BlackBerry enthusiasts.

Okay, like myself this after the passport with the touch sensitive keyboard, is everything and the fact that the key to Ellie doesn't have that touch. Sensitive keyboard was an instant note from me, even though I like the phone, a lot and I ship that back to this a shout-out to the executive that sent that over my way it was a great phone. It didn't lag like this. One does, but I'm willing to deal with the little stutters and lags I, know TK's a hypocrite I'm willing to deal with the stutter and lags that I get out of the key one because of this touch sensitive keyboard, that's crazy! Now, if you were to put bb10 OS on this phone, I, don't think there'd be any of that lag, I think with the three gigabytes of RAM, and it's, and it goes to show, because, when I use my passport, that's what five years old now four years old now it still doesn't frigging lag. Okay, I think blackberry going towards Android was a dumb mistake.

Is it cool to have Android and be able to do all the Android apps and all of that? Yes, it is, but I really would have liked to see blackberry focus on their Q and X software focus on bb10 and do their own damn thing, because now we're in a world of two mobile OS a--'s and that's pretty much it. Hopefully, this video has helped you in somewhat make a decision if you're looking at one of these on the low-low, if it did smash that thumbs up button. If you liked this video, maybe if you don't like this video smash that thumbs up button, if you have any questions comments, things of that nature hit me up in the comments section: I'll try to address them. For you what that said, this is my thoughts on the black very key one, not just a black edition, but the key one in total and whether you should still buy it, and the answer is. It depends on your usage.

What I buy one as a blackberry enthusiast at 350 bucks, it's pretty cheap and at crack list prices. You can get these for like 180 to 200 bucks, that's a definite win! If you like the keyboard and personally for some cases, I do.
