Comparison review
Galaxy J8 has an overall score of 76.7, which is a bit better than the BlackBerry KEY2's overall score of 75.4. The Galaxy J8 body is somewhat heavier but a little thinner than BlackBerry KEY2, and they were released with only a few months difference. BlackBerry KEY2 features a much better looking screen than Samsung Galaxy J8, because although it has a much smaller screen, it also counts with a lot higher pixels density and a higher 1080 x 1620 resolution.
The BlackBerry KEY2 has a way bigger storage capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Samsung Galaxy J8, and although they both have a slot for an external memory card that supports up to 256 GB, the BlackBerry KEY2 also has 128 GB internal storage capacity. The BlackBerry KEY2 has a little faster CPU than Samsung Galaxy J8, and although they both have a Octa-Core processing unit, the BlackBerry KEY2 also has a larger amount of RAM.
The BlackBerry KEY2 takes slightly better photographs and videos than Samsung Galaxy J8, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not good for capturing images in poorly lited environments and a back-facing camera with much less mega pixels, and they both have a same size sensor, the BlackBerry KEY2 also counts with a lot higher video definition.
Samsung Galaxy J8's battery life is just as good as the battery life in BlackBerry KEY2.
