BlackBerry Coming Out with new product

BlackBerry Coming Out with new product We can all agree that what popularized BlackBerry before it became a “chat-accessory” was how easy and swift it made life for business folks. I still miss my last Blackberry device.

In as much as I was always concerned with ways to delete the BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) app completely from the phone, I always appreciated how easily the phone handled my hours from daily schedule to bedtime to the morning wake up alarm. Even as far as the alarm going off at required time and the phone quietly shutting down right after, as I preferred. How I wish I can still have these features with my android phone.

But Alas! Those endearing features are what makes a blackberry, a blackberry… not BBM. Well, if you are still a faithful fan of blackberry,then we have got some interesting news for you. Thanks to VentureBeat reporter Evan Blass, we are getting an early look at the BlackBerry Key2.

The new phone which was supposed to be announced later this week look like a refined version of the KeyOne, with a subdued gray and black appearance, fewer conspicuous holes and sensors, and perhaps even a slightly more spacious keyboard layout. While modern BlackBerry phones come with additional security features that harken back to BlackBerry's legacy, they are otherwise pretty generic Android phones that really only stand out thanks to the BlackBerry name. (And they are not even built by BlackBerry, but by TCL), reports TheVerge.

To give the phones some kind of edge, the Key line has brought back BlackBerry's trademark physical keyboard and you get the option of the on-screen ones also. This time around, TCL has also added dual cameras to the phone. It does not look like there are other major changes externally, though TCL appears to have changed the keyboard's bottom-right shift button into something that looks like a shortcut key — it seems to resemble an app launcher.

The original version of the phone, the Key One, had a 4.5-inch screen and a mid-range Snapdragon 625 processor.

The Key2 is rumored to keep the 4.5-inch size but upgrade to the more recent Snapdragon 660. TCL is supposed to announce the new phone this Thursday, June 7th, 2018. We will keep you updated.
