I think this is where BB is most comfortable at. Mixing it what made them famous with their target audience while mixing in modern twists. I would actually not mind using a KEYone as a daily at all. I type a lot on my phone, so having a physical keyboard would be great. Add in the insane endurance and a camera that's actually really solid and I think the KEYone is a winner. Will it sell in huge numbers? Well, at this point, I don't think so. Then again, the point of this phone probably isn't to sell in massive numbers. It's kind of like a device meant to appeal to a specific audience and one that's also meant to say "Hey, remember us? Yeah, we're sorta back and we'd like you to give us another chance".
How so? This phone is made by TCL, although BB definitely had a hand in designing it. All indications show that BB Corporate is interested in "boring" but lucrative areas like enterprise security and autonomous driving software
Yes :DI love the Priv, it would be amazing if they released an updated one this year or next year, can you imagine the design of the KeyOne with a slide out keyboard :D
I feel ya. I did a review on the priv but I mostly use the phone to talk about how nice this concept could be in today's industry. I'd really like your view and thoughts on the video and the topics I cover. It's a pretty short watch!
Actually, i slide out the keyboard on the Priv all the time, it was the main feature of me buying the phone. I'm not a technology freak so the Priv does everything i want a phone to do, if i want HD sound i play physical formats in good speakers. People need to remember that phones are phones, they can do a lot but not everything, even iPhones can't do it. Also that reviewers gripe about getting a screen cover for curved display, i hope you share that animosity for the Samsung phones too? it's so easy to get a Glass screen protector for the Priv, i bought one on eBay and it came in a carbon fiber box with alcohol wipes to clean the screen and i installed the screen protector in a minute and it hasn't interfered with the performance of the device. I know it's still cool to hate the Priv, but if you get a Priv that actually works good then you wont hate it.
I'd really love your thoughts and comments on my video because I touch on the topics of the priv and the concept of a physical keyboard. As an owner of that phone, either presently or previously, I'd really appreciate your views and thoughts! Video is on my channel and it's called "An Unusual Phone in Modern Times"
Great comparison. Can't agree about the design criticism though. The Priv's slider is not a way to tuck away the keyboard. It's meant to provide a way to cram both the keyboard and a competitively sized display into the phone without making it monstrous, and BB did that very well. It's a shame that the 808 was such a bad processor, but I'm willing to adjust to it (battery saver mode shutting down the two big cores helps) so I can live with such a beautiful phone, enjoy amoled and OIS and have the keyboard at the same time.
HeadTurnFactor Yep. And to answer his question, I've used the physical keyboard for 99% of typing per my Priv's input stats. The slider is super easy to use, just as quick to access as on-screen keyboards that take a split second to pop up on many phones.
Yes, its because the clock speed of the processor is slower than a flagship phone and the screen size is much smaller. Pair that with a battery that is 3505 MaH (most flagships are at 3000 MaH), you get sub two day battery life. Can't wait to get one when it comes out in the US.
The irony for me here is the fact that I love the Priv's slider design. I feel that if the battery and processor had been better the Priv would have been a much stronger phone. I've been looking at other devices recently but I just can't give up the physical keyboard and the ability to hide it away for when I want that full sized screen. I've really come to love the feature. Additionally, with a little playing around with Tasker the fact that I can not only slide open to answer a call and have a phone that feels more natural - something about the added length for me - but also close the phone to hang up leaves me with a phone that I really don't want to get rid of. Really my only complaints with the Priv have been responsiveness (processor), heat generation depending on application (it can sometimes get really damn hot), and the battery life (I always get a full day out of it but that's because I typically have Bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS off when not at home as well as the backlight as dim as possible unless outdoors.)
He is one of the best Tech reviewers pointing out the real deal and flaws yet only 24k views guess people only click on fancy videos and cinematography while forgetting that they are looking in a wrong place for answers
I love my PRIV, and I love the curved screen, you don't need a cover, I ve dropped it a couple of time and not a scratch - I love the pull out keyboard and use it often, I ve it for 2 years and am waiting for the Priv2
I personally don't have any flex in the back cover of my Priv. I think those who do, don't have wireless charging because the pad is not there. I think if the Priv launched with the Snapdragon 820 or even the Snapdragon 801 (a year earlier) people would have praised it a lot more and its just a shame Blackberry picked the wrong year. I still LOVE using the KEYBOARD and without a doubt my next device will have one. The feeling of keys in the hand its awesome and i just cant do glass typing. This is one of the reasons i loved the Priv so much. We don't have to 'sacrifice' any screen space for the keyboard. Hopefully i can pick up a KEYone in the future. Looks like a superb device. Thanks for the review as always. Keep up the great work :D
In spite of your good analysis I still love my Priv. It's touch screen keyboard is the best and the color depth of the screen is fabulous. I really only use the physical keyboard for the shortcuts and scrolling the screen. Blackberry did numerous software updates which improved performance and got the camera on a competitive basis. Kudos to BlackBerry and TCL for the KeyOne. It will fulfill its mission admirably!
Thanks for listening to the feedback! It's nice to see a video uploaded that was requested a bunch of times in the comments. I don't see this all that often from other TH-cam channels.
Dude Juan I love your reviews. Nobody else covers things like headphone jack output/quality, and the amount of detail in things like the battery and camera comparisons are always top notch. Even little things like the tone of your voice, and the subtle humorous touches are appreciated. Keep up the good work
I've always enjoyed the blackberry and am upgrading this week. I was super excited to see the keyone but got literally nos from all my friends when I wanted to get it... So decided to check it out on a video like this. Definitely helped make my decision. So thanks for the review. Loved the way you did it. Helped a lot for me to see how it would've worked if I had a demo to tap on.
I have both. I love the KEYone. I think if the PRIV had a better keyboard and a better chipset then it would be a fantastic device. I did like having a full screen and the AMOLED display was gorgeous. but the KEYone is the far superior device. My favorite phone in some time. I just came off of a Galaxy S7 and don't miss it at all -- well, maybe the camera just a bit.
TCL have done an awesome job and have kept the blackberry brand still running. Hopefully we get more fantastic products from them. I still prefer the privs design and want to see a priv 2 with a premium metal body wireless charging and water resistance.
Just upgraded from Priv to Key One (paid 110.00). I'm loving it and will hang on to it for a year. Then I'll upgrade to the Key2. Can't rationalize paying 500+ for a brand new device.
Nice video with good points! I still love my priv though, although the keyone is tempting. Especially, because it seems the priv and Dtek devices seem to be in this limbo where they probably won't get any more updates to nougat or otherwise. At least, it seems that way.
I've never owned a blackberry but thanks to the KEYone I'm definitely considering buying whatever comes next, I love the idea of using the keyboard for scrolling and being able to assign a shortcut to any key which would fix one of my biggest gripes with android.
I gotta admit I'm glad BB/TCL know how to stick to their roots and still make a device that can hold up to 2017 standards. The keyone has gotta be one of the most original and best phones of 2017
I absolutely loved the form factor on the Priv. I would literally stare at the phone in adulation. I only got rid of it because of the overheating/ performance throttling issues.
when I was getting a new phone, I had the option between a Priv, LG V10, and Nextbit Robin. the V10 is too big, the Priv has even worse heat problems than the Robin, and both the Priv and v10 have horrible dev support. very happy I got the Robin. great phone, and at current prices I recommend it to everyone.
I tried the KeyONE for 14 days and returned it. True it has better battery life, but using a fast charger, I've never had issues charging the Priv while playing music or surfing the web. Also, since the Marshmallow update, the Priv is far less laggy and also solved the overheating issue for me. Lastly, I prefer the Priv's physical keyboard because it's bigger and easier to type on. In addition, it has the full on-screen, amazing keyboard with SWYPE capability that the KeyONE lacks, and the capacitive navigation buttons on the KeyONE always got in my way. Personally, I'm sticking with the Priv and hope that TCL will make a next gen Priv 😉
TCL makes good hardware / is a reliable manufacturer. I have an 11 year old TCL air conditioner that is still doing very very well and is highly praised by our local AC repair guy. Also have a recently purchased 49" TV which has much better build quality than TV sets 4 times more expensive. I've never bought, but have held and used a couple of TCL phones. Build quality is the one thing that stood out even though the specs were sub-par for the price range. I feel BB made the right choice.
First off I want to say awesome video! I stumbled across your channel and it has become my favorite ever.. also I have a question, what is the friendly app and what does it do? thanks
2:50 Yay G4!!! Nice comparison btw, if only the keyone didn't cost as much as a Galaxy G8 here in Bulgaria (roughly 730USD), i might've recommended it to some of my more social friends.
As an LG G4 user, the Snapdragon 808 is truly a terrible chipset. I'm experiencing the same issues as you were with the Priv, namely extremely inconsistent performance and batterylife. When I feel my right pocket getting warm, I just know my phone will die before the end of my workday. Can't wait to upgrade later this year 😶
Thanks for this video. I've used the Passport since January 2015. It's my favourite phone of all time. I love it. I also use the Priv since August 2016 (I'm a 2-phone geek) but its performance has been quite unimpressive. Sadly, due to whatsapp losing BB10 support, I have bought recently bought a KeyOne and I'm about to migrate all my Passport data. I will really miss my Passport. :(
I wishhhh they made priv2 it's such a good phone considering the sizes of phones these days. It just needs an update priv is so great god I fucking love it!!
blackberry is the only reliable phone iv had all these years think the priv is really cool to use and also I think if u want a good comparison I had the blackberry z30 I know it's not android but it can run android apps and the blackberry z30 is definitely a speed demon and the two speakers are amazing
Zero Cool Good for u I also bought a passport in November and still use it. People till this morning were asking me about it, they think it a new device ! Which means it has an awesome design & characteristic.
If they had a $200 new BlackBerry smartphone to compete with the Moto G and ZenPhone lines I'd buy it in a heartbeat, I had a BB Z10 for 2 years before I had to replace it but currently there is no up to date Android BlackBerry within my $200 price cap.
WTF. My Priv from the newest batch does 2 full days on heavy use, and I have never had problems with overheating. Slider form-factor is actually an advantage, as the screen is bigger and you can choose between on-screen and hardware keyboards. Need to open a huge Excel spreadsheet? Slide out the keyboard and you're done - you can see a full A4 page and write in the same time. Not possible on any other phone.
I I'm blackberry fan and for me my favorite is blacberry passport but starting next month we can't have whatsapp anymore :( so now I'm gonna buy one of this one!
I had a priv, it was a prototype....it bugged out to much and overheated way to easily....the key1 is a perfected combo of android meets BB... However the priv had wireless charging like my s9+ does...but takes a wireless charging pad, that did not become more prevalent till the iPhone X and s9+ era of 2016-2017....wireless charging has been around since 2007...
I know everyone with a Priv wants to yell that "maybe you got a defective phone" and "mine doesn't do that" I assure you I got my phone a year after the release date to ensure everything on the phone would be bug free and my phone still has sliding issues, over heating problems (to the point that my phone just shuts off over little things), and battery issues. My pocket has felt like this man's pocket before and nothing is worse than a brick of fire on your thigh and realizing that your leg can sweat in one singular isolated area. No one wants to have to take their phone out of their pocket and put it somewhere random at work when their phone decides to overheat, but that's just what ends up happening.
I really want a Priv to replace my s6 edge plus but the points made in this video have turned me away. maybe I'll be able to live with the smaller screen of the Key
my priv finally kicked today. i am letting it go kicking and screaming. i actually used the keyboard all the time. i loved the bigger screen. i guess i will buy a key now :(
i know a lot of people who got the priv because they hated glass keyboards, NONE of them use the keyboard now, they all got used , and now prefer, the onscreen keyboard
I just got the keyone on Friday because I hate glass keyboards, and immediately I can type so much faster. Being able to touch type is fantastic, and not having to fight against the autocorrect of other keyboards is an amazing time save if you have a vocabulary of more than 20 words
I just love how BlackBerry sticks to their roots yet realizes where phones are in 2017 and manages to keep up.
This was a VERY nice bit of evolution on BB's part.
I think this is where BB is most comfortable at. Mixing it what made them famous with their target audience while mixing in modern twists. I would actually not mind using a KEYone as a daily at all. I type a lot on my phone, so having a physical keyboard would be great. Add in the insane endurance and a camera that's actually really solid and I think the KEYone is a winner.
Will it sell in huge numbers? Well, at this point, I don't think so. Then again, the point of this phone probably isn't to sell in massive numbers. It's kind of like a device meant to appeal to a specific audience and one that's also meant to say "Hey, remember us? Yeah, we're sorta back and we'd like you to give us another chance".
Exactly. This is rebuilding. DTEK were stop gap. This is the real first step.
JuanBagnell why didn't do a review for blackberry dtek50 and dtek60 review
How so? This phone is made by TCL, although BB definitely had a hand in designing it. All indications show that BB Corporate is interested in "boring" but lucrative areas like enterprise security and autonomous driving software
The Priv is like the descendant of the blackberry torch from back in the day and the KEYone the descendant of the Bold
LOL yeah. Hadn't really put that together like that but you're right.
the makr the torch also failed
Jay G if u say so
Yes :DI love the Priv, it would be amazing if they released an updated one this year or next year, can you imagine the design of the KeyOne with a slide out keyboard :D
the makr that’s why i love the design so much, the torch 9700 used to be my dream phone back on the day
I want to see a Blackberry with a slide up keyboard like the Priv. With flagship internals.
I feel ya. I did a review on the priv but I mostly use the phone to talk about how nice this concept could be in today's industry. I'd really like your view and thoughts on the video and the topics I cover. It's a pretty short watch!
I want a priv with a beast battery, that'll make it
Still want a Priv 2.
Rumors say we might get one. Supposedly with 6 gb of RAM and a SD660. Fingers crossed!
Actually, i slide out the keyboard on the Priv all the time, it was the main feature of me buying the phone. I'm not a technology freak so the Priv does everything i want a phone to do, if i want HD sound i play physical formats in good speakers.

HeadTurnFactor I totally agree!! I enjoyed the BlackBerry Priv
HeadTurnFactor Yep. And to answer his question, I've used the physical keyboard for 99% of typing per my Priv's input stats. The slider is super easy to use, just as quick to access as on-screen keyboards that take a split second to pop up on many phones.
"enjoyed" as in past tense!!
I have been teetering back and forth about getting this BlackBerry since I am an ex-CrackBerry user. As always Juan, great video.
Marianne Cu I've been addicted to crackberry for years. Any hints on getting sober?
It's tough right. I have been very happy with the KEYone experience so far though. Happy hunting :-)
keyone is my second favorite phone because of the battery and the keyboard
lord and savior gaben Wow, the battery life is that good?!
Shellyman Vol.2 Yep
Yes, its because the clock speed of the processor is slower than a flagship phone and the screen size is much smaller. Pair that with a battery that is 3505 MaH (most flagships are at 3000 MaH), you get sub two day battery life. Can't wait to get one when it comes out in the US.
I know u want someone to ask what's the first one is. I will do the honours. what is it?? :-)
Actually, the KEYone is IPS. The Priv, however, is OLED.
The irony for me here is the fact that I love the Priv's slider design. I feel that if the battery and processor had been better the Priv would have been a much stronger phone.
I've been looking at other devices recently but I just can't give up the physical keyboard and the ability to hide it away for when I want that full sized screen. I've really come to love the feature.

Glad you've been enjoying the videos :-)
I can't even find a Keyone to look at, it's a gorgeous phone but if it isn't even in the stores it doesn't stand a chance.
venom5809 It comes out the 31st
Fingers crossed BB can get boots on the ground to promote in person.
I've always enjoyed the blackberry and am upgrading this week. I was super excited to see the keyone but got literally nos from all my friends when I wanted to get it...

I have the KEYone since Monday and it's simply an incredible phone! Great job, BlackBerry! Now you finally made the perfect device!
I have both. I love the KEYone. I think if the PRIV had a better keyboard and a better chipset then it would be a fantastic device. I did like having a full screen and the AMOLED display was gorgeous. but the KEYone is the far superior device. My favorite phone in some time. I just came off of a Galaxy S7 and don't miss it at all -- well, maybe the camera just a bit.
Getting the priv just because of the cost differential. Snagged a refurbished for 150, compared to at least 300 for a keyone.
It's so nice to have a reviewer that's not biased like others are on this channel.
Good to know Blackberry still making good phones. And not only business oriented ones
At the end of the day Blackberry KeyOne is a better device overall (obviously).
TCL have done an awesome job and have kept the blackberry brand still running. Hopefully we get more fantastic products from them. I still prefer the privs design and want to see a priv 2 with a premium metal body wireless charging and water resistance.
2020 and I'm rockin' my Priv. I. Loved my curved glass. I use my physical keyboard more than the on-screen.
Just upgraded from Priv to Key One (paid 110.00). I'm loving it and will hang on to it for a year. Then I'll upgrade to the Key2. Can't rationalize paying 500+ for a brand new device.

Nice little surprise there. I've really been digging the KEYone.
The KeyOne was the last BlackBerry design, made by tcl. It was codename Mercury for years. Priv seems to have been just thrown together.
Priv is the way to go for me.
I absolutely loved the form factor on the Priv. I would literally stare at the phone in adulation. I only got rid of it because of the overheating/ performance throttling issues.
For the Priv heating issues go to mobile settings and switch these to 4G/3G only. This will resolve this issue.
when I was getting a new phone, I had the option between a Priv, LG V10, and Nextbit Robin.
the V10 is too big, the Priv has even worse heat problems than the Robin, and both the Priv and v10 have horrible dev support.
very happy I got the Robin. great phone, and at current prices I recommend it to everyone.
I tried the KeyONE for 14 days and returned it. True it has better battery life, but using a fast charger, I've never had issues charging the Priv while playing music or surfing the web. Also, since the Marshmallow update, the Priv is far less laggy and also solved the overheating issue for me. Lastly, I prefer the Priv's physical keyboard because it's bigger and easier to type on. In addition, it has the full on-screen, amazing keyboard with SWYPE capability that the KeyONE lacks, and the capacitive navigation buttons on the KeyONE always got in my way.
Personally, I'm sticking with the Priv and hope that TCL will make a next gen Priv 😉
I got an honor 6x but I personally love the design of the BB Classic ^-^
TCL makes good hardware / is a reliable manufacturer. I have an 11 year old TCL air conditioner that is still doing very very well and is highly praised by our local AC repair guy. Also have a recently purchased 49" TV which has much better build quality than TV sets 4 times more expensive. I've never bought, but have held and used a couple of TCL phones. Build quality is the one thing that stood out even though the specs were sub-par for the price range.
I feel BB made the right choice.
I have the Priv and want to move to the Keyone eventually fab detailed review with what I want to know in it!
I'm thinking of switching to the the KeyOne from the Priv.
My priv has been lagging like crazy. Hv to restore it time to time. However still my favorite phone
Are you gonna have a real camera/audio review of the U11?
First off I want to say awesome video! I stumbled across your channel and it has become my favorite ever.. also I have a question, what is the friendly app and what does it do? thanks
2:50 Yay G4!!!
Nice comparison btw, if only the keyone didn't cost as much as a Galaxy G8 here in Bulgaria (roughly 730USD), i might've recommended it to some of my more social friends.
WOOHOO! I LOVE the KeyOne, so I was hoping the video would end that way! Haha! Nice! Great job! Loved it!
As an LG G4 user, the Snapdragon 808 is truly a terrible chipset. I'm experiencing the same issues as you were with the Priv, namely extremely inconsistent performance and batterylife. When I feel my right pocket getting warm, I just know my phone will die before the end of my workday. Can't wait to upgrade later this year 😶
Brainfly as a former Lumia 950 with the 808 I agree to
Strangely enough I could use the hardware keyboard and the S-Pen. I was hoping for a melding of the Passport and the Note. 😉
LOL I like my Stilo, but a proper first party solution would probably be better.
That last little closing bit. You totally nail the spontaneity or random dept. lmao.
:-)
What charger were you using with the Priv, yielding such poor results? Was it a 2.1 amp charger, or an older 1 amp charger?
I have one of the very early batches when priv was released and does suffer from over heating
H4M24UK i had over heating, crap battery, dying screen and it was basically falling apart
Wow!! Watching this video and more than two years with the amazing priv... I've never seen the software keyboard.
me i haven't encounter problem u mention on my priv and iam happy with it battery life also is very good....
Watching this on my BlackBerry Passport bitches
Is it bad that I want a keyone more than my current iPhone also that outro wtf
s3n0raw3s0meness nah these phones are gorgeous and got kicked out. Read the BlackBerry book.
I have a Iphone 7 and about to ditch it for the Priv fr fr
Thanks for elaborating on how they hid the keyboard away
Thanks for this video.
I've used the Passport since January 2015. It's my favourite phone of all time. I love it. I also use the Priv since August 2016 (I'm a 2-phone geek) but its performance has been quite unimpressive.
Sadly, due to whatsapp losing BB10 support, I have bought recently bought a KeyOne and I'm about to migrate all my Passport data. I will really miss my Passport. :(
I wishhhh they made priv2 it's such a good phone considering the sizes of phones these days. It just needs an update priv is so great god I fucking love it!!
blackberry is the only reliable phone iv had all these years think the priv is really cool to use and also I think if u want a good comparison I had the blackberry z30 I know it's not android but it can run android apps and the blackberry z30 is definitely a speed demon and the two speakers are amazing
Interesting that I do not have any of the problems you described with my Priv.
BlackBerry Keyone will be my next phone...in 3 years :)) I bought a Passport 1.5 weeks ago :D
Zero Cool
Good for u I also bought a passport in November and still use it.
People till this morning were asking me about it, they think it a new device !
Which means it has an awesome design & characteristic.
Do you still use your passport in 2018? I heard WhatsApp no longer works on it?
Stephen i thought that too
I love my priv its a headturner phone design i hope Priv 2 soon
Seem like priv loud speaker is much better than keyone.correct me if im wrong
Juan Very nice Review really enjoyed Awesome comparison. I was wondering where you were and I see work work work.Great Review Thanks again Deb 👍
You're very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it :-)
It's great to see that BlackBerry is finally surviving
When will the KEYtwo come out
If they had a $200 new BlackBerry smartphone to compete with the Moto G and ZenPhone lines I'd buy it in a heartbeat, I had a BB Z10 for 2 years before I had to replace it but currently there is no up to date Android BlackBerry within my $200 price cap.
WTF. My Priv from the newest batch does 2 full days on heavy use, and I have never had problems with overheating. Slider form-factor is actually an advantage, as the screen is bigger and you can choose between on-screen and hardware keyboards. Need to open a huge Excel spreadsheet? Slide out the keyboard and you're done - you can see a full A4 page and write in the same time. Not possible on any other phone.
Michał Limitless Priv is better!
Michał Limitless what is the latest android version for Priv?
A opłaca się go dzisiaj kupować? KeyOne dla mnie za drogi.
I have to admit, the Priv design was such a great idea. It really makes me sick with disappointment, all the comments about overheating. . . .
Priv design was definitely better, too bad it was gimped by the terrible SD808. I'd love to see a 2.0 with a SD835 or 660
I I'm blackberry fan and for me my favorite is blacberry passport but starting next month we can't have whatsapp anymore :( so now I'm gonna buy one of this one!
I see someone had fun with that outro!
SPOOOOooooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOOoooooky!
Im stuck with KeyOne and HTC 10 which one would you buy?
Stupid question. KeyOne has physical keyboard, HTC does have it? I don't think so.
Hello there, I am seriously stuck between the Keyone and A5 (2017) ... Which one should I go with!!!!!
I really loved the Priv's form factor, but the reviews were so terrible! I hope they release another one soon, I love sliding keyboards.
I want to know your opinion, does the Nokia brand is in the good hands of HMD Global?
y'all should do a review of the ZTE maven 2
Some body please do a security review for crying out load....but nice one juan! 👍🏻
Can I own both ?
WHEN CAN I GET IT ON VERIZON / WILL I HAVE TO BUY IT UNLOCKED??
These animations are cool good work!!!
:-D

I had a priv, it was a prototype....it bugged out to much and overheated way to easily....the key1 is a perfected combo of android meets BB... However the priv had wireless charging like my s9+ does...but takes a wireless charging pad, that did not become more prevalent till the iPhone X and s9+ era of 2016-2017....wireless charging has been around since 2007...
Dtek 60 does not perform better than Priv...it has a SD 617 .. happy to receive clarification if I misunderstood...
Please do a LG G6 vs G4 review!!!
I know everyone with a Priv wants to yell that "maybe you got a defective phone" and "mine doesn't do that" I assure you I got my phone a year after the release date to ensure everything on the phone would be bug free and my phone still has sliding issues, over heating problems (to the point that my phone just shuts off over little things), and battery issues. My pocket has felt like this man's pocket before and nothing is worse than a brick of fire on your thigh and realizing that your leg can sweat in one singular isolated area. No one wants to have to take their phone out of their pocket and put it somewhere random at work when their phone decides to overheat, but that's just what ends up happening.
What we need is a priv 2 right now
Priv, despite hot running. It’s a true flagship phone. AMOLED, wireless charging and killer looks. Can’t wait for the next flagship blackberry.
It's the only phone running a 4,5", that's why I'm still thinking of buying it. I dont need 5" or more...
NEEEED! When the hell is it gonna reach my store so I can buy it
I Wish they make Priv 2 with flagship. I just love a slide phone
I really want a Priv to replace my s6 edge plus but the points made in this video have turned me away. maybe I'll be able to live with the smaller screen of the Key
Willem Preston go with the Priv
Priv still looks just too damn good.
Disabling apps and using basic Facebook should get you by. I always tend to use my tablet for facebooking and messaging tbh. It’s such a cool phone
not sure what you are doing to your PRIV, my battery lasts a good 24 hrs with regular use, longer if i shut off the WIFI
Your manga face on the beginning is too adorable 😛
That clickbait part made me 😂well done juan!
:-)
Priv or s6 edge ???
Which game were U playing a 3:17?
my priv finally kicked today. i am letting it go kicking and screaming. i actually used the keyboard all the time. i loved the bigger screen. i guess i will buy a key now :(
what is your daily driver mobile
I want different look in smartphone 2017. Blackberry is perfect.
i know a lot of people who got the priv because they hated glass keyboards, NONE of them use the keyboard now, they all got used , and now prefer, the onscreen keyboard
I just got the keyone on Friday because I hate glass keyboards, and immediately I can type so much faster. Being able to touch type is fantastic, and not having to fight against the autocorrect of other keyboards is an amazing time save if you have a vocabulary of more than 20 words
0:14 wow live thumbnails. that might just become a thing in TH-cam. probably not just eyeballs blinking. that'd be, err, uncomfortable. lol
I want that.
its done
After touching the keyone, damn I think the keyone front camera and also keyone have the virtual keyboard, guess keyone all the way
I want a Priv with a solid modern chipset!
