With more and more businesses moving onto digital platforms, the need for higher end security systems becomes imperitive. With its advanced security software, long-lasting battery and access to key Androud features, the Blackberry KEYone is a strong contendor for the best business smartphone of 2017. Along with the iconic BlackBerry design, the BlackBerry KEYone comes with a number of additional features that truly reinvents communications for the professional consumer.

Built to last – the BlackBerry KEYone combines a sleek aluminum frame and soft grip textured back built to offer the best in durability

Runs Android 7.1 Nougat – giving users access to the entire Google Play store and apps - and will receive Google security patch updates.

The keyboard reimagined – Forget what you knew about keyboards, the BlackBerry Keyboard goes beyond typing. It can be easily programmed to launch up to 52 customizable shortcuts, providing even greater ease of use.

Impressive photo quality – The BlackBerry KEYone includes a 12MP rear camera with an industry leading camera sensor that captures sharp, crisp photos in any light. And for when you have to take a video conference on the go, it includes an 8MP front camera with fixed focus and 84-degree wide angle lens.

More Screen Space While Typing - With the physical QWERTY keyboard on the KEYone you actually have more usable touchscreen space while typing, than you would with a larger 5.5-inch all-touch device. With an all-touch device, the virtual/on-screen keyboard can take up to 50% of your screen space while typing. That's why the KEYone offers as much as 1/3 more usable screen space than on an all-touch device.

All-day Battery Life And Then Some - Featuring the largest battery ever found in a BlackBerry smartphone, the KEYone offers up to 26 hours of mixed use, thanks to its 3505mAh battery. Qualcomm® Quick ChargeTM 3.0 technology enables up to 50 percent charge in roughly 36 minutes.
