On February 25, Barcelona time, TCL Communications, a famous domestic mobile phone manufacturer, released BlackBerry KEYOne, the latest smart phone of BlackBerry.
This is also the first smart phone launched after TCL Communications signed the licensing agreement with BlackBerry last December, and it is also the last BlackBerry smart phone designed by BlackBerry. The aircraft will be launched in some countries around the world in April this year, and the price is 599 euros/499 pounds/549 dollars, equivalent to about 3700 yuan.
This new BlackBerry machine uses an anodized aluminum frame and a soft textured back design, which can provide good durability. As a straight board full keyboard mobile phone, the device has some special parameters:

It is worth mentioning that the keyboard equipped with BlackBerry KEYOne is quite special. The keyboard adds the touch gesture recognition function used by BlackBerry, which can directly slide up, down, left and right on the keyboard, somewhat similar to the operating experience of BlackBerry's traditional optical touch pad. In addition, as the traditional strength of BlackBerry, this smart keyboard has added the function that many BlackBerry OS system veterans expect. It supports up to 52 customized shortcuts and can quickly launch applications with one key, which can maximize the operating efficiency of users to obtain a better use experience, such as pressing the "I" key to enter the inbox or pressing the "M" key Key to access the map. In addition, Blackberry has also ingeniously integrated fingerprint recognition function on the space bar, and just press the space bar to complete unlocking. This is also the first smartphone in the world that has a fingerprint sensor built into a physical keyboard.
Of course, as a product under the BlackBerry brand, security is naturally its top priority. It uses an operating system customized based on the Android 7.1 platform, with built-in security enhancements and a series of unique BlackBerry features. The device is loaded with a unique BlackBerry Hub ®， It can integrate the user's email, SMS and instant messaging messages from all accounts together to facilitate viewing and processing, which has been a feature of BlackBerry since its birth.
In addition, KEYOne has also configured a 12 million pixel rear camera for the first time. It uses the IMX378 camera sensor provided by Sony, has a unit pixel area of up to 1.55 μ m, and has PDAF phase focusing. It is also the strongest camera head sensor equipped by BlackBerry since its inception. However, the specific imaging performance will not be revealed until the real machine is sold. For the front camera, it is equipped with an 8 million pixel sensor and a 84 degree wide-angle fixed focus lens.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that KEYone will be the last BlackBerry self designed smartphone product, and TCL Communications will be solely responsible for the design, production and sales of BlackBerry phones thereafter. At present, TCL Communication has mastered three brands: TCL， Alcatel and Blackberry.
