6.8
out of 10
MSP SCORE
Pros
Only decent android phone of you want a physical keyboard. Promises inbuilt high security. Battery life is great.
Cons
Insanely expensive given its specifications. Phones with similar specification are available for one third the price. Camera is barely average. OS performance not upto the mark.

BlackBerry Keyone Details

Both the cameras can record Full HD videos.
Snapdragon 625 & 3GB RAM
In spite of has having a flagship-grade price, the hardware on the BlackBerry Keyone is of the mid-range category.

The internal storage is 64GB with a microSD card for further expansion up to 256GB.
