The obvious KEYone feature to focus on would be the hardware KEYboard, but another part of this phone is stealing the limelight. Namely, the insane battery life from the large cell, small screen, and lower power processor. Are we back to the runtime found on Blackberries of old?

BlackBerry made a phone , others just make toys that can be use as a phone
Word.
blackberry made a tool. others make toys
Jc Muscle .. *Looooooser's attempt to buy a blackberry*
An idiot actually spells "a idiot"...
all three of the commenters above me, die of cancer 😅
The more I look at reviews for this phone the more I want to get it
Exactly. Hopefully it will drop prize for summer. Specially if we wait the new iPhone
I just want the phone ASAP
I think it's obvious I've been digging it.
JuanBagnell Moto Z play, LG X Power (late 2016 U.S. Cellular variant), and ZTE Blade V8 Pro are all battery life monsters. The LG X Power has a SD210 in it though if I remember correctly. I had it for the 15 day trial period from U.S. Cellular while looking for a replacement phone for my Google (Motorola) Nexus 6 which has a failing battery, but I still keep it powered on! I love the Nexus 6!
John Lincicum I do love"sony xz premium" more than this shit piece..that battery life Is more batter in it!
Am I the only one in love with the looks of this phone???
Ankush Bansal No I love it too
You are absolutely right, a lasting phone is much more important than a few milliseconds when loading up an app.
For me personally, I also adore the keyboard, but I love the choice BB made with the chipset & battery! :)
I think it was a really smart play. Gets back to the original idea of BB efficiency.
Coming from an S7 edge, I've had my Keyone for 6 days and I can honestly say I'll never need another phone until they hopefully release the Keytwo. It's my first BlackBerry and I'm in love with it I just wish they had released it sooner.
Got the KEYOne as a replacement for PRIV that died prematurely. At first, I was shocked that I didn't get a Priv, but quickly realized that this is a superior phone to the Priv - and to any others. Great runtime! This review sums it up very expertly!!!!
please start a series on: Outdoor visibility. As an avid jogger it's so frustrating not being able to see my display AT FULL BRIGHTNESS (HTC 10)
JustAnotherTuber Exactly. They never show outdoor visibility
It's tough to show off on camera. Setting exposure, changing light conditions. Any time I look to add something to a review, I want to be able to standardize it, so people can see the differences between phones easily, WITHOUT me having to reshoot multiple comparisons for every phone we review.
I was sold on buying this phone when it was announced. You guys are just making me feel its a right decision to make. Price is the only thing stopping me. I will wait for a price cut to pick this up.
Great video and glad to see you all give the Blackberry KEYone love. It's great for what it's made for!! Love mine for work, especially the keyboard and epic battery life!!
Another masterpiece by Juan. So refreshing to see different perspective than usual reviews and afterthoughts.
Glad you enjoyed :-)
a new era is born! a smartphone you longer have to worry to charge / search for a wall..just worry about using it! wow this #KEYone! great video thanks!
Thumbs up for undistracted driving, Juan!
Battery life is most important to me. I was extremely close to getting an LG x power instead of a flagship this year.
I think this is going to be a winning move for a lot of midrangers. BIG batteries, power efficient chipsets. It's a KILLER combo.
JuanBagnell what do you think of the rumoured Xperia Z Ultra that will probably come with a 21:9 display?
replying to this from my keyone :) . beast phone . 2 days usage out of it with 4.45 hours sot from that . 47 hours run time . beast phone . absolutely snappy and lovely . does Eveyhing I need . couldn't be happier . a real head turner as well . everyone wants to play with my phone lol
Juan Carlos - excellent point. It is hard for phone enthusiasts to abandon the idea that only the top processor, overclocked - if rooted, with 6 Gb of ram is worth having in your pocket. If benchmarks were the only thing that mattered, we'd all be baaing blissfully in the walled garden.
LOL Don't get me wrong. I still have my triggers for audio and video hardware, but damn if good battery life isn't rocking my socks right now. My Wife is going to take it for a spin, as her GS7 has been an utter mess. I might not get this phone back....
I'm sold.....battery life ftw
If possible, the Lenovo P2, same chipset, but with a 5100 mAh battery. That way you can compare software from Blackberry with that from Lenovo to see if optimitations help or not with battery life and performance.
Stijn Decolvenaer - I've had Lenovo P2(UK version, 4gb ram) for 3weeks. It's the best phone I've ever had. Fast charge 1hr to full and then 2-3days without topping up. When playing Pokémon Go with max screen brightness, Bluetooth headset, podcasts and Fitbit the battery goes down 10% per hour so no need for a power bank.
Mc Peyn - I don't know about the Note 4 as I haven't tried it but I went with the P2 as on the back of the phone it states "manufactured for Lenovo by Motorola". My old original Moto G is still going so wanted to stick with Moto build quality. You can also update the Android version without root from UK to ROW(rest of world). So you are getting updates directly from Lenovo(Moto) not phone network (carrier).
This phone is a major improvement from the Priv.
No joke. Every issue I had with Priv has been rectified here.
The other thing that is not considered is the actual radio in the phone. A smartphone isn't any good if you have to keep it plugged in AND if you can't make a call or connect to the network. This phone excels at power management AND connectivity. My wife's phone and daughter's phone (both good Apple products) struggle in both regards compared to my BlackBerry. The other key is shortcuts and the BlackBerry shines (gets it done quickly with less S.O.T.).... keyboard tactile feedback is way better than screen typing especially with large thumbs. Thanks for an unbiased review.
I'm a really big fan of my KeyOne. It's probably the best phone I've ever owned, even if other phones continue to have a special place in my heart. I still have 42% battery life when my head hits the pillow at night. Crazy. I agree with your review... maybe it's time we all re-think how we should judge true "performance" for these devices?
Moto Z Play maybe a good comparison because of the processor, price tag, features and so on.
I think Z play has taken the win in these comments. I need to try and dig one up.
MOTO Z battery dies quicker then the Samsung S8 but for the rest it's a nice device, however the Z Force has the same battery life as the S8. But you can also buy a battery pack :)
keyone is better built, better camera and the battery is better. moto z is underrated though.
I mentioned the Moto Z Play.
Top look at the battery. it's nice to see some tech sites really looking at things differently. I've bought a Keyone and can resonate that the battery, build, camera and even speed are all top notch. I really hope people see through the Blackberry/PKB stigma and give it a go. Best phone I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot.
LMAOOO. You were watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 toward the end. NIIICE!
It is fair to compare it with its last phone BB Priv or comparing performance with Google Pixel.
Both sound fair to me. I like the idea of a priv comparison though... Last phone from BB vs newest phone from TCL.
I care a lot about how fast my phone is. Thing is, if the battery is dead, the speed is 0.
That's why the Blackberry KEYone has higher benchmark scores than the Galaxy S8. Because when the S8 dies, it scores 0.
This battery is a big reason for smart buyers in the market for a good value phone.
while typing, i now I have over 7 hours SOT with 22 hours use on my Galaxy S8+. Streamed an entire movie to Chromecast, music for about an hour and a half, about an hour of phone calls, currently streaming UA-cam to a Chromecast, Instagram all day, maybe 20 photos... I'm sure I could get close to that battery life on this phone with similar use. I'm gonna need to put this to the test. With that said, that KeyOne battery sounds phenomenal
8+ is no slouch, but I'd be willing to bet that KEYone can beat it :-)
love the new Blackberry reviews. this might be my next backup phone.
It's kind of hilarious how me using the keyone as a "back up" quickly became my "primary" comm tool.
The performance car analogy is one I'm constantly using with my friends.
Finally! Someone talking about the importance of battery life and how they use it. Most reviewers simply say "the phone lasts all day" and don't explain further. You buy the phone and find out the battery life is atrocious. The high-end phones have such poor battery life that it is borderline criminal. I want to get the S8 because it is a lovely phone but seeing how i am charging my S7 a few times a day, makes me question if these high-end phones are really worth it at the end.
Makes me sad that removable batteries are basically gone. When I have to charge a phone a couple times a day, I'm burning that cell out even faster.
this phone looks fucking awesome. literally excels in the only things I care about which are camera and battery life. same sensor as the pixel, low power chip set, physical keyboard, and competitive pricing makes this phone a win in my book.
Using iPhone 6 after updating to iOS11, battery drains like any thing time to look for an alternative, and I think BBkey one is a good option.
I would like to see this phone compared to the Blackberry Priv to get an idea of how much Blackberry has improved in the past couple of years. This phone is really impressive for a Blackberry that probably won't get that much attention due to its unique form-factor.
I wonder if people will look at it and think "oh it's old".
Yeah really. Basically most people think any BlackBerry is considered old just because Blackberry is known for their QWERTY keyboard phones which aren't very common these days.
Thanks for making the point of "who" the keyone is made for. The audience is absolutely the point of this device. The battery life is a critical factor among others that would make consider this phone. Great supplemental review! :-)
Can you add whether the recharging with quick charge really is as fast as reported?
The amazing part of the last update for KEYone is that it's start some apps quicker then the Samsung S8, also in games the KEYone loads if faster in the beginning but then the S8 makes somes times a leap to make it a second faster to load a big app like that 3D game. Still daily apps are quicker or the same in startup then the Samsung S8. That made the KEYone a big win in performance and then thinking BlackBerry is till tweaking the OS and the apps like the hub and camera. I mist admit if you all in for gaming then you wanted a full and big screen, but if it's only playing puzzle games,strategy games, sociaal media and youtube and music/radio the KEYone is the best device in bugs you can get with an amazing keyboard that rocks.
Fun part of the Keyone all apps are app that are good but if you don't wanted to use them you can delelte them till there is only a stock rom left. Samsung has a lott of bloatware that criple the device in performance, lag and battery life and the device. BlackBerry tweaks there device better. BlackBerry 10 is also from the same os tree but tweaked so much better in performance, multitasking and using the momory much better I hope they bring in more from BlackBerry 10 into Android. Waht I say that they have experience and a goal to make Android better.
KeyOne. For getting things done, ALL DAY. ;)
All day.
Every day.
I like how you clarify the difference btwn SOT & overall battery use including Bluetooth with car & wearables.
good point there, I c it important.
I felt it needed explaining. I've never been able to rely on SOT as my days are VERY different for phone use. I can get wildly different results with the same phone depending on what's going on.
Yea I could not use my screen and get those same times on my S8 Plus too. Notice that you didn't show your SOT at all
I want to see a triple comparison:
KEYone vs. BB Classic vs. BB 9900/9930.
The latest flagship vs. the old meets new vs. the fond favorite
that keyboard is going to be a drag when playing some onscreen controlled landscape games
Bob Sarmiento its a business TOOL
I have another SD625 phone (Moto Z Play) and I've enjoyed it more than any flagship I had in the past. Battery life is king: better graphics, and buttery smoothness don't mean jack if your phone is dead. Add to that the fact that anybody except for gamers won't even notice a performance drop with the SD625, and the verdict is clear. Screw flagships and screw whatever Snapdragon 900000 Qualcomm comes out with, I'm aiming for optimized software and hardware packages like the KeyOne in the future.
"ooohhh look at this frame rate!
...
And now I've got a low battery warning..."
One Plus 3T vs KEYone
since my Op3T can run 6 hours of continuous UA-cam Video Playback. I wanna know how long does the KEYone survive that kinda test.
LOL TORTURE TEST! I like that.
Something with similar specs I would assume is the place to start. but this phone is brilliant.
I am using a Moto Z play and average about 8 + hours of sot. This usually translates to going 2 days without charging it. It is buttery smooth! I love this phone, just wish it had a better camera and it would be totally perfect.
Really a nice comment.. I.havent used his phone, but my bet is that it will suit a lot of people who message and who want a phone and that will definitely last all day without any worry.
Keyone vs Moto z play battery life test!!! 🙏
would imagine it being pretty close since they both run 1080p wide screens...
keyone has smaller screen so it wins, lol
well of course you have to do a keyone vs iphone 7! that is truly a must!
That iPhone SE comparison tease looked amusing lol
This has similar specs to my ZTE Blade v8 pro yet I still want it.
That camera on the blade is pretty fun though.
moto z play comparison
Hope to pick one up here in LA come June 1.
Please do a comparison between key 🔑 one ☝🏻 and galaxy 🌌 s8 with its keyboard 🎹 accessory
Something businesslike maybe ZTE or V20 or Mate 9.
It's funny that there aren't a lot of "business" phones anymore. I kinda want to put it up against a Note 4, just for how similar the construction is.
cool. about time. battery life is so important. honestly, the keyone is in a league of its own with its productivity shortcuts, qwerty navigation and universal inbox. but if you have to compare it to an all touch: compare it to the moto z play. that's another marathon runner.
Yeah I think the Z Play has taken top honors. I need to see if I can dig one up.
A brilliant device indeed
Great reminder Juan! I just bought a Moto G5 Plus for the same reason. Battery life is fantastic. And the price. Man I wish the Key One was going to be more like $400....I wouldve splurged for it.
Really interested in getting the keyone, I need the battery and love the shortcuts on the keyboard but gotta wait for that oneplus 5

Can you do a comparison / prize fight with the *BB KeyOne* vs *Moto Z Play*: *Performance* and *Battery Life* since they both run a Snapdragon 625 chipset ?
pls do a battery life video vs Mate 9 and S8 PLus with Keyone
Honor 8? iPhone SE? Dtech 60? Or other blackberrys in general. Moto ?i think those would be fun to watch
With regards to your last review, I hope Blackberry didn't rain some green ones for this review. Regardless, I'm happy for Blackberry's comeback.
Amazing phone for sure. Will wait for top specs and display for the same price.
The more I see of the KeyOne, the more I say this is the next one for me !
I'm liking this a LOT more than I thought I would from the first teasers we saw.
Currently on a LG G6. Switching to this phone next. No explanation needed.
If you can keep both, I can attest to that being a pretty fun work/play combo...
That episode of MST3K was epic!
Also would the Honor 8 be a good apples to apples comparison in terms of display and processing power?
I think they'd be close, but I bet Kirin could beat the 625. It'll TOTALLY lose for battery though. That Nougat update was a bit of a hog...
Pocket Now... these videos though. I am impressed.
Right on.
so what's the max screen on time you got with this phone?
Can you compare it with lenovo p2? on terms of battery life? If you manage to get one.
Like to see it pls.
Ugh I wish. NEVER could get my hands on the P2...
Compare it, to the Palm Pre.... that's lit
OOooohhh... That could be fun...
I'd like you to compare the Blackberry against the ZTE Z Max Pro. $550 vs $100... the camera will easy be better on the Blackberry but I'm thinking the rest may be a push.
Compare it with lenovo p2....both are SD625....just that p2 has a 5100mah battery...!! I own one n I get a screen on time of about 12-13hrs. n I have to charge my phone in 3.5 days.
Wait a second... Does the keyboard have backlight?
yeah the keyone is a good phone too own looks feels great in the hand and just works 😊
If you never use the original tank Blackberry you will never understand. I missed most specially my BOLD9000. I'll defintely get one.
I wish I still had a Bold...
I think you should compare the Moto G5 Plus (64GB option) to the Blackberry KeyOne. I think it will be a great comparison, since they have the same chip.
I love my keyone phone because of the battery life. I use it daily with the screen off also. It lasts almost 36 hours without charge. I have it set for 30 secs display on.
Keyone vs Moto g5 plus - Both are battery beasts with the SD 625
it reminds me of my 2006 Asus p525 ... wonderful take on Android
I think I have finally find a successor for my aging BB Passport. :)
Any idea why they delayed the release?
Great review or feedback on the Keyone. This is why I don't watch the really famous tech vloggers anymore, because they have turned into paper specs monsters. Throw them the latest Samsung or Apple, for sure they'll hail it as the best, failing to consider the other aspects of a mobile phone.
Have you seen Evan Rodgers break down on the GS8 reviews? We had him on the podcast. It was a GREAT video. Look up "Samsung Galaxy S8 metareview".
I need to see some reviewers do a typing comparison of themselves on the KeyOne physical set after a week using the device as their daily driver and then showing us the speed on their normal software keyboard.
the KeyOne looks like a brilliant package, it seems more about deciding if its for *you* than if its any good.
I'm imagining now what they could incorporate for the KeyTwo to make it a home run - I think if they could steal the Xiaomi Mi Mix trick of under screen earpiece and then lose the capacitive buttons and using onscreen buttons that disappear in video apps you could fit a normal aspect (wide,1080p) screen into the handset. alternatively,AMOLED would make black bars on videos look like just part of the black plastic edge of the phone.
can't complain though,excellent camera,battery life and build quality on this phone.
It's tough though. Feel is really subjective, and whatever I'm using more, will be what I'm better at. It's an issue with familiarity. Why I didn't really bother trying to do any kind of speed test or comparison when I shot the keyboard video. I can still win with text entry on a software keyboard, but whenever I pick up an S8 or G6, I instantly miss the shortcuts I have on the KEYone.
How does this snapdragon compare to older iPhone 6 Plus?
I think lenovo P2 (~5200mah) and Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (4000mah) would be very good comparisons.
Btw both have SD625
I mean the Xperia Z2, which I still own and yes it works perfectly, I'm getting and easy 5 and a half hours of screen on time with power using it, 6 hours if I'm casually on low brightness and a bit less 1080p UA-cam videos. Cmon if that ain't good I don't know what is. It performs excellent, it has great battery life, a good 1080p screen, stereo speakers, HiRes audio support... And guess what $214 on Amazon...
Was that a clip from top gear in the beginning?
Nope. Just some hoons burning out in a Prius.
Can you compare it to the priv? It seems like the best option
That would make for a nice follow up. Last phone from BB, new phone from TCL.
Waaaay! You use Friendly for Facebook too. Glad to find another Facebook Official App Exile!
YUP! The official FB app is basically digital cancer.
810 vs 625, the nexus 6p vs the keyone?
Is the battery replaceable?
compare it with prive
Love the review
I would say the iPhone 7+ has great battery life. However, that's more expensive. What are the differences between those two devices?
iOS is more efficient per mAh thanks to better hardware and software optimization. 7+ consistently wins in our battery benchmarks, but I think the KEYone has it beat for real world use. It's less powerful, has a smaller screen, and a bigger battery.
Xperia XZ1 Compact vs Keyone. Bought my wife a Compact and it has great battery life so far. Keyone is in my sights though.
can anyone tell me, when this phone will launch in india?
I feel as though the really interesting comparison lies between this and the iPhone. Bear with me here, the iPhone becomes important especially given that many (not all) BlackBerry owners moved this way. The iPhone also showcases a different idea behind communication, which really is the comparison for a BlackBerry. Productivity vs more simplified UX.
Not a bad idea actually...
people went to iphones for apps and cool camera. the only weekness for blackberry was apps and camera. keyone has android now so case closed. iphone has no advantage other than lacking some features.
Where can I get this phone?
I am so happy that I could get it on 5 May just for I am in the UK LOL
Would like to see a huawei P9 vs. keyone comparison video...
Interesting. Why the P9 and not the P10?
JuanBagnell I guess I like the P9 a bit more than the P10 and I suppose we can compare a 2016 smartphone to see how it stacksup to a 2017 phone.
Ha! I get you. I like the layout on the P9 better too.
I would assume that the KeyONE lasts slightly longer than the Z Play
