I'm Switching To The Blackberry KEY2... By Unbox Therapy

Well this one here is uh, it's not something that I get to do very often that is check out a new BlackBerry. This is the key to I. Don't remember, did I check out the key one I, don't think so man, one of my very first smartphones, was a blackberry I, don't remember which model now for me just in a sea of smartphones that are somewhat similar. This is kind of refreshing. It's so refreshing to me that I am going to use one of these. Oh, my goodness, I'm going to put my SIM card into one of these and just see what it's like to use a blackberry in 2018 I.

Don't have too many friends on BBM any more before iMessage the WhatsApp, the top of the pyramid. It was BBM okay! Well, you must have had a blackberry at one point: Wow Kirk, Jack, hey man, take it easy! There are two colors in front of me: 64 gigabyte and six gigs of RAM. What else can we see on the back here? Intelligent keyboard powered by Android, 4G LTE 4.5 inch, IPS 1620 by 1080 display for 434 PPI. That has to be one of the smallest displays on any modern smartphone. Maybe we will see better battery life I'm getting a sense.

This product is about productivity, business, making deals spreadsheets I'll book on next Tuesday. What is your 12 p. m. looking like how about your 1 snapdragon, 616, o 8, Series, Snapdragon, processor, 12, megapixel, autofocus, there's a wide and Italian 8 megapixel front-facing 3,500 William hours and, of course the OS is Android in the silver ooh one thing blackberry still has going for it is this incredible security, encryption I know, there's a password manager on here a place to keep all your passwords. If you are security, conscious, or you do weird stuff on your smartphone, like Jack like well like Kirk, this could be a good selection for you a place to keep your secrets silver I kind of like it.

The screen doesn't seem tiny. I could see myself getting used to a display that size we have. The power switch a programmable capable button. You hear me Samsung huh, and no. It does not launch big speed, not as heavy as it looks camera unit on the back.

I. Don't have the highest expectations. Can I live with it? I don't know we'll see. I'm going to switch, I'm going to put my sim card in a blackberry in 2018 I. Do it for you yeah.

You say you think, I don't see you because you see the view count, and you're like I me. What I'm glad there's a million views. What no you specifically headphone jack? Why not USB type-c to connect a speaker unit down at the bottom black one? The trim is different on the back and, of course, the frame as well will black or silver will say black Kirk, black or silver, one, two one Jack with the tiebreaker Jack's going black. What a surprise now! This is the perfect time for you guys to decide down in the comments. Is it going to be black or is it going to be silver, quick charge 3.0? That is a decent little headphone for a freebie interchangeable, ear tips, blackberry, you've, outdone yourself, so this is cool. It actually does have a fingerprint scanner, and they've hitting it in the space bar.

That's genius and look at that. It does have haptic feedback as well cool. Should we go through some of this, the software? Okay? Okay? So the old Blackberry experience. It's not just a hardware thing. There are some modifications as well to the software.

So of course you could go ahead and install any launcher you want, but there is a blackberry launcher on top of Android touch and hold the background access settings for your wallpaper widgets and more pop-up. Widgets are another thing: the productivity tab I can swipe out from here. This will bring up the newest and most important info, slides into view things like calendar, new messages, tasks, contacts and so on. You can have these keyboard shortcuts for launching certain apps or even certain pages within apps, so you can have it monitor the overall security of the device and if they ever cross the line or attempt to do something you wouldn't expect, or you didn't initiate, then this monitoring service will be able to tell you, so you can see right now, I'm in the fare zone, security wise. Let's do some typing the quick brown fox huh.

What does it jump over hilly who Hailey, who the day, AKA Hailey daily, there's something satisfying about clicking buttons? I told you about buttons earlier I like them. Tell me you don't like a button here and there in your life. Oh, that was interesting. I just brought up the virtual keyboard. You can still have a virtual keyboard if you're insane.

It's also a touchpad. I can scroll right on the physical keyboard. How about this custom button over here? You can add up to 3 shortcuts. Ah, you can have it trigger a car profile. No, maybe you have your notifications chilling out in the car because.

It could be distracting right. You want to go. Look at that. A text you're dead, put your phones down! Please kids I mean come on now. You've got a snap on Snapchat.

What might it be you're dead? You saw the snap you're dead, oh good, that's it! Even dealers, good trade put down a Snapchat when you're driving you hear me I'll, find you notifications off, Do Not, Disturb I am driving could be on the lookout wandering. Well, you won't be responsible for his death. This is you, is the ball like I could live with this? Here's max 32 gigs a very fancy glowing memory, I put it in average territory, speaker wise, the screen is smaller than you would be used to it's, not the greatest display I've ever seen now the camera. How do you get around it right? Like everybody, cares about cameras, your smartphone is your only camera, so I will try the zoom as well I'll, say just on initial inspection, these maybes a little better than I expected, even though we have lights here, I'm lit I get all that it's kind of possible I could live I'm worried about this front-facing camera because it seems immediately like it's blowing out the highlights a little. Oh, jack.

The dynamic range is not great there, where it's blowing out one side of my face, which is not a great front-facing camera. Let me try it like this, but like look at this cheek jack, wiped it out, not a selfie factory here. So on that note, let's go ahead pop out the SIM card tray here, as the expansion lets. Let's do the thing: let's do the dance, let's get the SIM card out see if I can live the BlackBerry life see if I enjoy the physical keyboard, the taps, the button spooned up. Oh, my notifications are coming in.

It happens now. I just switched to a blackberry in 2018, let's find out if it's the real deal or if my life takes a turn for the worse. Remember, watch out for Willy do he's out there he's wandering, put your phones down. I need your eyes on the road. His life depends on him.
