Product Review: BlackBerry KEYone Smartphone

So to not uh making phone calls like it's nice to ninth in my house, I didn't purchase labs. We've hundreds of products to find the very best for your needs and wallet. GPL now makes phones under the BlackBerry banner. It's called the key one, and it blends a powerful physical keyboard with a long-lasting battery that a lot of you, productivity nuts, are going to go gaga for just like you'd expect from blackberry. There's a physical QWERTY keyboard. The space bar doubles as a fingerprint sensor and actually does a pretty job too.

The keyboard doubles as a trackpad which doesn't sound like a big deal until you scroll through an article or a lengthy email without ever having to move a finger onto the display. The keyboard is also riddled with short code. Each letter can be programmed with up to two shortcuts one for a long press and another for a short one. That gives you up to 52 shortcuts. It occupies a huge chunk of the front on the phone making.

The screen feel a little small TCL claims that you actually get more usable screen space with the key one than you would with a conventional five and a half inch screen since there's no virtual keyboard, it's heavier than the LG G six Google Pixel and Galaxy S and s eight plus it's anodized, aluminum frame makes it feel like you could definitely survive a drop, although the textured back gives you confidence that you're never likely to have slipped out of your hands if you're anything like me, and you've spent the better part of a decade getting comfortable with a virtual keyboard. Going back to physical keys might take some getting used to TCL says that the four and a half inch display provides plenty of room for composing emails or real articles. The key ones LCD screen does a solid, though unspectacular job of reproducing 134 percent of the RGB color gamut. There's only one speaker here on the bottom, but it does a great job. The audio was crisp and loud.

There's a mid-tier Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 mobile processor, on the inside. As for software, it includes the companies, D tech app. This app monitors the security of the device, giving you an overall rating and walking you through how to ratchet your phone security DEC, also monitors which apps are accessing, which permissions even allowing you to set alerts if an app tries to do something like access your contacts or turn on your phone's microphone, but the standout feature has got to be the battery the key ones: battery lasted 12 hours, 47 minutes, that's more than three hours longer than the average smartphone. In fact, the BlackBerry key one is the third-longest lasting smartphone we've tested in the last two years. Now, when the battery does finally die, TCL promises a 50% charge in about 30 minutes and the key one also offers a boost mode for those times.

When you don't have an hour to charge up your phone, the functionality built into the keyboard is great, and the long-lasting battery is even better sure. It's 550 bucks, but a combination of blackberry, software and hardware will make you more productive and that just can't be overlooked and.
