TCL has announced a new variant of the BlackBerry KEY2. Called the BlackBerry KEY2 Red Edition, it comes in a new and attractive red color that is unlike the Atomic Red version of the KEY2 LE. It also comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
The BlackBerry KEY2 Red Edition now has its steel frame painted red and it extends to the front, covering the spaces between the black keys and the bezels around the screen too. It actually looks really good. The back is still black though.
This version has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Blackberry also added some software upgrades. The Hub+ app now has an action bar with important shortcuts. The Hub and calendar apps have also been redesigned. There is still no Android Pie.
While the paint job is pretty great, this variant is expensive. BlackBerry/TCL is asking for €779! For that price, you get a phone with a 4.5-inch 1080 x 1620 display, a Snapdragon 660 processor and dual 12MP rear cameras. It also has an 8MP front-facing camera, FM radio, a 3.5mm audio jack, a fingerprint scanner, and a 3,500mAh battery.
