TCL pulls out all the stops with Black Berry Key2
dubai — A dual-lens camera, improvements on the iconic keyboard and a reasonable price, among many others: TCL Communication wants everyone to know that Black Berry is still very much in the game.
The legendary brand’s latest smartphone, the Black Berry Key2, was launched at an event in New York and promises a soupedup experience.
The device is the “most advanced Black Berry smartphone ever”, Alain Lejeune, senior vicepresident at TCL Communication and president of Black Berry Mobile, said in a release.
“We’ve created a distinct smartphone that captures all the traits that have made Black Berry smartphones iconic, while introducing new innovations and experiences that not only make this one of the best devices for security and privacy,” he added.
The Black Berry Key2 will begin shipping this month. In a Press release received by Khaleej Times, TCL confirmed that the device will be priced at Dh2,399 in the UAE. Pre-order dates are expected to be announced soon.
While the Key2 largely retains the looks of its predecessor, the Key One, a closer look will show you that it has a slimmer top bezel — though it retains the 4.5-inch screen — and keys that are slightly wider. And it’s the first Black Berry device to feature a duallens camera.
There’s also a new Speed Key, which is described as a universal shortcut that allows users to instantly access frequently-used apps, contacts and other functions. It runs on the latest version of the Android operating system, 8.1 Oreo.
TCL also guarantees the device’s security, a staple in Black Berry devices.
