RIM · Announced Jun 2017
About BlackBerry KEYone
The BlackBerry KEYone carries a compact, pocket‑friendly footprint at just under 9.5 mm thick and a weight of 180 g, making it easy to handle despite its solid build. Its 4.48‑inch IPS TFT LCD panel delivers a sharp 1080 × 1620 pixel resolution, offering crisp detail and vivid colours in a size that feels comfortable for one‑handed use. The device’s physical keyboard, a hallmark of the KEYone line, sits beneath the screen, giving the handset a distinctive look while adding a tactile typing experience that sets it apart from most Android phones.
Running Android 7.1.1 Nougat, the phone is powered by 3 GB of RAM and a 32 GB internal storage compartment, providing enough headroom for everyday multitasking and app usage. A 3505 mAh battery sits behind the rear panel, promising solid endurance for a full day of moderate use. The single‑SIM slot, combined with the modest dimensions of 72.39 × 149.10 × 9.40 mm, keeps the KEYone streamlined for users who prefer a straightforward connectivity setup without the bulk of dual‑SIM arrangements.
The BBB100‑2 is the worldwide TD‑LTE edition, intended for global distribution rather than the region‑specific models released for China, Japan or the United States.
Unlike the China‑only variant, which adds dual‑SIM capability and a higher‑capacity configuration, this model sticks to a single‑SIM layout and the standard storage and memory package. The Japanese and US versions share the same hardware specifications but are locked to their respective markets, whereas the BBB100‑2 is marketed as the global version.
