BlackBerry recently introduced the KEY2 smartphone that replaces KEYone, released in February 2017. With high-end features such as two cameras and a good amount of RAM, the smartphone maintains the manufacturer's tradition of combining a QWERTY keyboard with a display touch. This still brings significant changes.
Positioned among premium middlemen, the KEY2 comes to market with the Snapdragon 660 processor and the same 4.5-inch screen as its predecessor. However, there is still no information on the launch of the smartphone in Brazil, as was the case with KEYone. Find out in the following lines the news of the new generation and know the main differences between mobile phones.

In terms of design, BlackBerry has kept the tradition. The smartphone is structurally more marked mainly by the presence of the physical keyboard, which refers to the famous handsets launched by the manufacturer in the past. However, the KEY2 is considerably thinner, with 8.5mm vs. 9.4mm of its predecessor.
Due to the QWERTY keyboard, the KEY2 must allocate a display smaller than the current market standard. Like the previous generation, the device features a 4.5-inch IPS LCD screen in 3: 2 ratio. The resolution is Full HD (1620 x 1080 pixels) with a density of 434 pixels per inch (ppi).

One of the biggest changes compared to the generation Previously, the KEY2 features a dual 12 MP camera at the back, with openings f / 1.8 and f / 2.6. The phone promises to provide well-lit images with a good depth of field, and allows pictures with the famous bokeh effect – popularized in Portrait Mode by the iPhone 7 Plus.
At KEYone, the rear had a unique f / 2.0 aperture sensor of 12 megapixels, small amounts compared to other competitors such as Moto Z2 Play and Galaxy S8, both with objective f / 1.7. For videos, both smartphones record in 4K resolution.
For selfies, the numbers remained similar: the lens had 8 MP and the f / 2.2 aperture on the KEYone and kept the same resolution but with an f / 2.0 aperture, which in practice should make improvements when it comes to lighting. Both features LED flash. The dual 12 MP camera and the f / 1.8 f / 2.6 apertures promise good performance (12) and the 12 MP and f / 1.8 f / 2.6 dual camera apertures promise to make good night shots at night ( Reuters / BlackBerry) "src =" data: image / jpeg; base64, / 9j / 4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD / 2wBDAAMCAgMCAgMDAwMEAwMEBQgFBQQEBQoHBwYIDAoMDAsKCwsNDhIQDQ4RDgsLEBYQERMUFRUVDA8XGBYUGBIUFRT / 2wBDAQMEBAUEBQkFBQkUDQsNFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBT / wgARCAAQABkDASIAAhEBAxEB / 8QAFwAAAwEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwUGB EABUBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMB // / // 9oADAMBAAIQAxAAAAHMzKLJmglzCdp 8QAHBAAAgICAwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwQCBQABBhIU / 9oACAEBAAEFAlq6ThmaBsG2Vdr765UWZBOm5KxKVzYEOf1Sz EABcRAAMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAjH // / // 2gAIAQMBAT8BlS9Gf EABYRAQEBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARAv / aAAgBAgEBPwG6V // EACIQAQACAQMDBQAAAAAAAAAAAAEAAgMREkEEEzEygZKh0f / aAAgBAQAGPwIxY / W8TS3T5vbDf8gXGq8NUfueGFy6bRdRmvfyfNlMjbcpzOJ // 8QAHBABAAICAwEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQARIYExkfBh / 9oACAEBAAE / IRBsrGNvU7cakK5XWWgM9qjlcRA ZK0tzs3Odk7lwz5dZ aAAwDAQACAAMAAAAQy2 // // + xAAXEQEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABABEh / 9oACAEDAQE / EOi8gChf / 8QAGREAAgMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAREAIYHw / 9oACAECAQE / EHil2QGKc // EAB4QAQACAgIDAQAAAAAAAAAAAAERIQAxQdFRcfCR / 9oACAEBAAE / EE vLURoAq + + + sBKrYjfphqtNkCWQ14vPudsCQUEMBsZ5G cjlmIsQQkAoUUVRgymbUpQ258jvP Z // "/>
