BlackBerry Keyone

    After many days BlackBerry introduced the brand's big come back phone,  for the convince of BlackBerry die-hards and other lovers of physical keyboards,  This smartphone finally landed in market. The price of BlackBerry Keyone is approximately $539.54. Keyone is an ambitious endeavour to recover the brand reputation. Once one of the world's top smartphone manufacturers,  BlackBerry has dwindled in the past decade. Its last some smartphones were failed to make a positive impression. Now with BlackBerry hardware in the hands of TCL, the manufacturer behind Alcatel phones, BlackBerry has good chance to wow buyers with something unique: a premium Android phone with a QWERTY -- rather than virtual -- keyboard,  and BlackBerry branded security software also installed. Keyboard will be the deciding factor for its competition against Samsung's Galaxy S8, LG's G6 and Google's Pixel.

Advantages: -

* This is the most premium BlackBerry product.

* Fast accurate fingerprint scanner.

* Customizable convenience key opens any application or shortcut.

* You can program 52 keyboard shortcuts.

* The productivity tab, reminiscent of the Galaxy S8 tab,  is useful.

* Software tidbits:  Layout of recent tabs, floating phone button lets you pop back into a call when you switch screens.


Disadvantages: -

* Its heavy and sits uncomfortable on pinky fingerprint when you hold it.

* The keyboard feels cramped.

* There's a dedicated $ key,  but no dedicated period,  comma or @ button.

* The convenience key seems to trigger easily in bag ( If you set it to the camera and you can find at least a dozen errant photos).

* There aren't as many camera options as as competing devices but you can dig aroubd for the manual mode.

* It isn't water resistant.

       The screen size of this smartphone is smaller than iPhone 7 Plus and larger than Galaxy S8, it has a 4.5" screen topping off that signature keyboard. 180 grams,  the keyone is heavier than the Galaxy S8,  iPhone 7 and Google pixel, but its a bit lighter than iPhone 7 Plus.

Cameras:-

            The 12 MP camera has an automatic mode that's got plenty of filters,  auto HDR and panorama,  but not the many features you see in other competative devices. This might suit us fine,  especially if we mostly take photos automatic mode. There's a pro node you can turn on in the camera settings,  which gives you much finer control over white balance,  ISO and all the rest. 8 megapixel front facing camera takes straight forward selfies and you can apply the usual filters.


Software:-

     BlackBerry fans will be glad to see BlackBerry Hub, which is a universal message inbox and BBM (BlackBerry Messenger), as well as the Dtek application for peering into your phone's security protocols. The KeyOne will work with the BES server. In addition to everyday buyers, the folks behind the BlackBerry brand are also reaching out to businesses and government agencies to support the phone.
