BlackBerry KEY2 looks exactly like the KEY 1, although a few changes that have been brought in, should help improve ergonomics and hand-hold feel. This includes a more compact chassis and a re-positioned convenience key, that's now located on the right along with the power and volume rocker.




The BlackBerry KEY2 comes with a 4.5-inch 1080p IPS LCD screen with an unusual aspect ratio of 3:2. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor with 6GB RAM. The phone comes with up to 128GB of internal storage which is further expandable by up to 256GB via a micro-SD card slot. The phone is backed by a 3,500mAh battery with support for Quick Charge 3.0 over USB Type-C.

It runs Android 8.1 Oreo out-of-the-box with BlackBerry's usual suite of security and productivity applications: meaning that it's also being pitched as the most secure Android smartphone in the world.

Moving on, the KEY2 comes with a dual rear camera system consisting of both 12-MP camera firstly (f/1.8 aperture) and a secondary (f/2.6 aperture) for depth sensing and up to 2X optical zoom. There's a dual tone LED flash and support for 4K video recording. On the front, the KEY2 comes with an 8-megapixel camera.

In the US, the BlackBerry KEY2 will sell at a starting price of $649 which roughly translates to Rs 44,000. Two versions of the KEY2 will be available: silver with 64GB and black with 128GB storage.
