It’ll almost always look presentable. The phone runs Android 8.1 Oreo, but in terms of the software and layout, the Key2 looks and feels just like the KeyOne, which ran on Android Nougat 7.1.

It’s not a Bold. The Bad Despite larger buttons, the Key2's QWERTY keyboard still feels cramped. In a way, it’s supposed to act like a privacy filter and tint the display so people can’t see your screen, and yet, that’s not quite what this is. There’s a communication hub which tries to bring messaging, your calendar, and social to the one place, but it just comes off feeling unnecessary, like yet another way to see notifications when just the apps on Android can do that for you. You see the keys pick up on gestures not just for typing, but also for swiping, and it means you can lightly swipe up and down and left and right on the keys, controlling the momentum of how the screen moves.

The Key2 is laggy, and suffers from weak low light photography and capacitive navigation buttons that get in the way. However we might now be past the keyboard entirely, and with touchscreens being better than ever, the keyboard’s place as a physical addition to a smartphone might not even be necessary. Let's round up some of its best movies. The Pixel 2 is $650 and it receives up-to-date software regularly, has great performance, and a fantastic camera.

That comes off as closer to a mid-range phone, but this is network dependent, so your mileage may vary.

Inside the BlackBerry Key2, you can expect an eight-core processor from Qualcomm, with the Snapdragon 660 paired with 6GB RAM and 64GB storage.

After the Apple Watch's fifth birthday and with the new Watch Series 6 and Watch SE now... Be respectful, keep it civil and stay on topic. There are plenty of options to cater for that, be it the revamped iPad Mini, an iPad 9.7, or a Surface Go, and that’s just the start, so a dedicated keyboard on a phone for extended typing is less than needed these days.

I should mention that as a phone reviewer, sore thumbs are already a hazard of my job, where I probably spend more time smacking my fingers against a hard glass surface than the average person. You see having a built-in keyboard is a nice concept, and back in the early days of smartphones, it made sense.

If you accidentally double-tap Alt, for example, you're stuck typing a long string of senseless punctuation marks until you realize your mistake.
