BlackBerry made this announcement on Twitter by sharing an image that reads “An Icon Reborn”. The image also has the launch date of the KEY2 which is June 7, with venue being New York City and the launch event kicking off at 10 am.
The BlackBerry KEY2 will look similar to the KEYone, and by that, we mean that it will come with a physical keyboard while also boasting a touchscreen display. The KEY2 is also said to come with better processor and more RAM as compared to its predecessor. However, the biggest highlight is going to be the dual camera setup at the back which is said to consist of one 12 MP snapper and one 8 MP snapper. For those unaware, the KEYone only came with a single 12 MP camera at the back.
