TCL, who now owns BlackBerry's IP, has launched the latest flagship device called the KEYone at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. A QWERTY keyboard and 4.5-inch multi-touch display. The Android-powered KEYOne has a 3505 mAh battery with QuickCharge 3.0 technology and USB-C charging to allow a 50 per cent charge in up to 36 minutes. The device also features a 12MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera.
The KEYone features a hardened version of Android N, has a resilient metal frame and also boasts a battery that's good for two-days on a single charge. Fast charging is boosted by the system shutting off some functions to store up more power faster. This enterprise-focused device might just entice BlackBerry loyalists of old to consider shifting from whatever they moved on to.
The BlackBerry KEYone will be available globally beginning in April and will be priced at or under €599 EUR/£499 GBP/$549 USD (Canadian pricing and carrier availability to come later).
