The new vs the old: BlackBerry KeyOne vs Priv vs Passport specs comparison
We thought it would be neat to take a look back at what are now the last two major, keyboard-sporting phones, made by BlackBerry itself, and compare them to this new whippersnapper. You can check them out in the three-way table below.
The KeyOne is definitely a midranger under the hood, but thankfully has a lot going for it as an overall package.
