BlackBerry KEY2 gets US release date, pre-orders start next week

Despite the fact that this unique device will often be regarded as a mid-range offering due to the Snapdragon 660 that is included inside, the smartphone does offer a number of flagship specifications such as 6GB of RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of internal storage, putting it on par with Samsung’s Galaxy S9+. Additionally, just like many flagships available at the moment, the latest BlackBerry offering boasts a dual-camera setup on the rear that is comprised of two 12-megapixel sensors, and this is coupled with an 8-megapixel selfie sensor up front.

On the external side of things, the device represents a much less mainstream design that consists of a small 4.5-inch LCD display and a physical keyboard, which should help improve productivity. Speaking of which, the smartphone also boasts an impressive battery life thanks to the smaller display and the large 3,500mAh battery that is included on the inside.

For those interested in the smartphone, it will be available for pre-order via both Amazon and Best Buy and is compatible with GSM networks. This means AT&T, T-Mobile, and MetroPCS customers can all take advantage of the device. Additionally, it’s worth noting that it will go on sale in both Black and Silver.
