This is the BlackBerry key to Ellie and if you joined me in thinking that this was just another color coding for the key to it's not oh, this is a very different offering that's now being dubbed the icon for all, and let me explain to you why we're pointing for me find Berlin, I'm, hi I'm, editing that out with pocket now and let's go hands-on. So if the key to is the blackberry bold of back in the day, the key to LE is like the curve pretty much. The aluminum finish of the bolder sibling is now replaced for a polycarbonate finish. You wouldn't be able to tell, by holding it I mean, there's also the signature stippled back now with a tint of blue, depending on the color option seriously. The feel of this phone is pretty much like a key to in almost every way. Yes, the colors are now atomic champagne and slate with atomic red being my favorite aside from the changes in materials, the internals are different.
We have a clock of Snapdragon 6-3, six down from the Snapdragon 660 on the key to with four gigs of ram and options for 32 or 64 gigs of expandable storage. There's a 3000 William hour battery down from a 3500 power pack on the key to, but with quick charge, 3.0 still being supported, which is great. The display panel is the same 4.5 inch, IPS LCD at 1620 by 1080 and the capacitive buttons below still remain the same. The signature of blackberry keyboard is actually slightly smaller than the key to, but still larger than, the key one, which is also something I praised. It lacks the capacitive functionality for scrolling, but the fingerprint scanner is still in the space bar, and you can still program the keys for shortcuts and for those of you that fell in love with the speed.
Key, no worries it is still here. Any party trick is that you can now set the convenience key to work with the Google Assistant like push-to-talk, where you press and hold for. As long as you want the Google Assistant to listen and no worries. The option is reaching the key to in the future software update just don't know when we are still running on Android 8.1 oriole under blackberry security focused skin, which means that all the applications and services you enjoyed from the siblings are also being offered here, and the experience is actually fluid. It doesn't really feel like if you're, using a phone with lesser specifications.
The camera is also different now of 13 megapixels and the primary shooter and 5 megapixels on the secondary serving now as a def sensor instead of telephoto, the selfie camera continues to be of 8, megapixels and fixed focus, though our verdict of these will really have to depend on whenever we review the product. As we know, the key to didn't do really well in this department and if you're asking yourself why the key to exists. Well, it has really to do with two things: number one. It's lighter nearly 12 grams less than the key -. So for those of you looking for an easier to handle blackberry, this is a great option, even if I didn't find the key to be too heavy, and the second really is the price tag.
I mean our biggest complaint with the key ? was the 650 dollars that it retailed for we're. The key to LE is more around less than $4.99, though we're still waiting to confirm that. Well there it's worth it or not, is still hard to confirm, but you bet that we will have our review units soon, to tell you more.
