- Access to all Google Play apps, the , and monthly Google security patch updates;
- 5-inch 1620×1080 Full HD display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4;
- 3505 mAh battery, the largest ever in a BlackBerry device, which can receive a 50% charge in just 36 minutes;
- 12 megapixel rear camera using the industry-leading, over-sized Sony IMX378 sensor;
- and a high-end design including an anodized aluminum frame and a soft touch textured back.
The KEYone comes with a physical keyboard which can be easily programmed to launch up to 52 customizable shortcuts, such as pressing “I” for your inbox or “M” to access maps. In addition, KEYone is the first smartphone to build a fingerprint sensor directly into the keyboard spacebar for added functionality and security.
