BlackBerry KEY2 Review: Keyboards are here to stay and so does the BlackBerry
Blackberry mobile is about to launch the Blackberry Key 2 in India. Priced at Rs. 42,990, the Blackberry KEY2 brings the iconic QWERTY keypad along with a dual camera set up and Android 8.1(Oreo), among other things. At this price point, the KEY2 will be going up against the likes of the Oneplus 6, which is one of the most premium affordable Android flagship in the market right now.
BlackBerry has, of course, evolved a little by adopting Android since 2015, but its philosophy is still the same as before - to offer a physical keyboard along with an emphasis on a safe and secure software.
