Blackberry Red Edition Key 2 features and specifications

The smartphone is built like a tank using 7000 series aluminium with a textured back panel. The Red Edition is the first iteration of the Blackberry Key 2 with a whopping 128 GB of internal storage.

The smartphone has a 4.5-inch IPS LCD screen with FHD+ (1080 x 1620p) resolution display, protected by 2.5D curved tempered glass. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 octa-core SoC power the smartphone, which is the same chipset that also powers the Redmi Note 7, which retails in India for Rs 9,999.

The Blackberry Red Edition Key 2 has a dual camera set up at the back with a 12 MP wide-angle lens with an f/1.8 aperture and a 12 MP telephoto lens with an f/2.8 aperture. For selfie enthusiasts, the smartphone beholds an 8 MP selfie camera on the front with support for 1080p video recording capability.

A 3500 mAh Li-ion battery powers the smartphone with support for fast charging via USB type C port with a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack to use audio peripherals. The smartphone runs on Android 8.1 Oreo with stock Android UI.

At $699.99 or Rs 48572.31, the Blackberry Red Edition Key 2 is definitely not the best or the technically advanced smartphone that one can buy. Instead, it serves as a statement and looks a lot different from most of the modern smartphones with the all-display front. Go for the styling and not for the specs sheet.
