BlackBerry KEY2 Design

The BlackBerry KEY2 encompasses the nostalgic QWERTY keypad as part of its design which remains popular among the tech enthusiasts. Despite sporting aesthetics which seems dated, the KEY2 has all the specifications of a modern phone. On the rear, the phone sports textured plastic and a dual camera set up in the horizontal orientation. The BlackBerry logo takes its place in the centre while the 3.5mm audio jack sits on the top edge. On the right side, there are the power and volume buttons. Another exciting thing to take note of is the ‘Speed’ button on the right edge which opens any app quickly, depending on its configuration.
