Today, at IFA in Berlin, TCL announced the global availability of the BlackBerry KEYone Black Edition, a device with moderately upgraded characteristics.
The BlackBerry KEYone Black Edition has a modest look, with RAM increased from 3GB to 4GB, and the 32GB storage space has reached 64GB. All other device features are the same.
Although the device does not have anything that puts it on the high end, it is undoubtedly beautiful. Let's say that Black Edition has already been sold in India (several months ago). It is worth noting that the Indian version was not manufactured by TCL, but by a local manufacturer called Optiemus.
The Optiemus edition that has been running for months in India, supports dual SIM cards, while the global version does not.
The keyONE is a nice device, and the fact that TCL (the company behind BlackBerry) is releasing a special edition is another sign that there is still life in the commercial signal BlackBerry, as well as the willingness to present new things.
Of course the company's friends, it would be good to see the surprise at some point.
If you were disappointed with the features, you can wait for the next Android-powered BlackBerry device. Not yet named, but TCL reports that it will have a touchscreen (without a keyboard) which makes sense if you notice the trend of the market.
If you want to get the KEYone Black Edition, you can choose it from abroad as the mobile will be launched initially in United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, UAE and Saudi Arabia from €649/£549/$799 CAD/2.299 AED/79.800 JPY respectively.
TCL also says it will release the Black Edition to other Asian, European and Latin American markets later this year, though it did not specify what.
