Only the iPhone 7 has not followed the trend of offering more and more RAM and the question is whether you really need more than 2 GB for everyday use. However, high-end devices go up to even 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. The BlackBerry KEYone has a decent storage configuration with 32 GB of storage and 3 GB of RAM. For details please refer to the Software section. Update 08/21-72017: TCL rolls out build number AAN358 for the BlackBerry KEYone. If you do not want to spend so much money, you could also take a look at the Honor 8 that is available for about $325, but still offers great specifications. $100 more could get you the Samsung Galaxy S8, while the iPhone 7 lies in the same price range as the BlackBerry KEYone. We are including the BlackBerry KEYone’s predecessor, the DTEK60, into our comparison field. However, its promise to be the most secure Android smartphone plus its fully-fledged keyboard with great features might make it worth it. This is quite a lot considering its technical specifications.

The cameras promise good results thanks to their decent specifications.Īt the time of testing, the BlackBerry KEYone is available from $550. The latter can be expanded via a microSD card. The heart of the smartphone is a Snapdragon 625 in combination with 3 GB of RAM as well as 32 GB eMMC storage. The area is also touch sensitive and supports horizontal as well as vertical swipe gestures. The so-called Smart Keyboard also has shortcut functions that you can customize to open any preferred app with the press of a button. The KEYone looks very similar to a classic BlackBerry device with a physical keyboard below the screen. TCL Communications first presented its BlackBerry smartphone at the Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona. For the original German review, click here.
