BlackBerry KEY2 vs BlackBerry KEY2 LE: Things Which Differentiate Both the Smartphones

BlackBerry has unveiled a Light Edition of the BlackBerry KEY2 at the ongoing IFA 2018 show in Berlin. The TCL Communications-owned brand has made some changes to the BlackBerry KEY2 LE to differentiate it from the original KEY2. Of course, as the name itself suggests, the KEY2 LE is a downgraded version of the original KEY2- not in terms of design, but in terms of hardware. For example, BlackBerry has used a slightly less powerful Snapdragon 636 Soc inside the KEY2 LE, instead of the Snapdragon 660 SoC found on the BlackBerry KEY2. The KEY2 LE has been priced at $399 (approx. Rs 28,000), while the original KEY2 is selling for $649 in the United States and for Rs 42,990 in India. The KEY2 LE might also be making its way to the Indian market sometime next month. What are the differences between these two phones? Read on to know more.

BlackBerry KEY2 vs BlackBerry KEY2 LE: Design and Display

Both the smartphones feature a similar design with the same good-old QWERTY keypad which also has the fingerprint scanner on the space bar. However, to cut the costs, BlackBerry has gone with the plastic body for the KEY2 LE, unlike the KEY2 which sports Aluminium body. BlackBerry is calling the plastic body on the KEY2 LE as ‘toughened polycarbonate blend.’ Having said that, the usage of plastic makes the device feel a bit lighter than the KEY2. Another difference is the colour options. TCL has launched the KEY2 LE in funky colour options- traditional Slate, Atomic and Champagne; Maybe the company wants to appeal young consumers.
