BlackBerry KEY2 Review

Score: 75.4 / 100

BlackBerry KEY2 is a brilliantly made device released many years ago, which features a very powerful 2.2 GHz Octa-Core CPU, a 4.5 inches screen, and two cameras, a 12 megapixels back facing camera and an 8 MP front facing camera. But let's get into more detail.

About its design materials, the BlackBerry KEY2 is mostly created with Aluminum . This cellphone is available in 3 color options, black, gray and red. Being just 0.33" thick,the BlackBerry KEY2 is thin and stilized. Blackberry did an amazing job making the BlackBerry KEY2 weight only 5.34 oz.

Blackberry packed this device with an amazing 4.5" screen, and a 1080 x 1620 resolution, which makes it impossible to even see the pixels composing the screen.

The BlackBerry KEY2 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SDM660 chip, holding an extremely powerful Octa-Core processing unit ticking at 2200 MHz and a large 6 GB RAM. The BlackBerry KEY2 comes with a 128 GB impressive internal storage and an SD memory card expansion slot, allowing you to store hundreds of applications without worrying about filling it.

This cellphone has two cameras, a 12 mega-pixels back side camera and an 8 MP front side camera. Its back side camera lens has a maximum F1.8 aperture so it can take awesome pictures even in poorly lit environments. This cellphone also films videos in 3840x2160 (4K) at 30 fps.

This cellphone has a 3500 mAh high capacity Li - Ion non-removable battery that provides this phone a great battery duration. An issue to take into account is that the BlackBerry KEY2's battery isn't replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to lose its charge, whereas with so much capacity you will probably buy a new device before it happens.

The BlackBerry KEY2 includes wi-fi connectivity (and it can provide it to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), LTE-A (4G) super fast internet connection and also HSPA+ data connection (a lower speed 4G technology) and fast 3G connectivity, over HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This device doesn't have a sim card, because it isn't a GSM enabled phone.

The BlackBerry KEY2 also features a wide variety of interesting features like Fingerprint Identification, NFC, Bluetooth (for communication with other phones, computers and accessories), GPS (Global Positioning System) and Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

No matter if you want a work phone, are a photography fan, want it mainly for social networks and internet browsing or will use it as a gaming cellphone, this cellphone is probably the correct option for you. When you buy this cellphone you will also get USB Cable, Headphones and Manuals , Charger and SIM removal tool.
