Blackberry KEYone to Launch in India in July for Rs. 39,999


At the MWC 2017, TCL has announced a new QWERTY smartphone called as the Blackberry KEYone. It was first teased at the CES 2017 event held in Las Vegas in early January 2017. Before launching the KEYone, TCL launched the Blackberry DTEK50 and DTEK60 smartphones that are just the rebranded devices. Though the KEYone is designed and manufactured by TCL, it includes all the Blackberry features along with the iconic QWERTY keyboard. A few weeks back, the Blackberry KEYone was made available in the U.S and Canada retailing at $549 (that comes to approx Rs. 35,500).
Blackberry KEYone QWERTY smartphone will be launching in India. The device is going to be an upgraded KEYone that would be manufactured in India and the work begins around Mid May while the phones are expected to launch around the 2nd week of June in the country. TCL has no rights to sell the Blackberry KEYone in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal. This is reason Optiemus Infracom is expected to work on the device and will sell them in India. As of now, there is no information about the availability of the KEYone in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal where the Optiemus Infracom is the official partner. One interesting point to note is that the Indian variant of the Blackberry KEYone will pack slightly better specifications than the global variant.
It comes with dual SIM dual standby support and offers 4G VoLTE connectivity. The Blackberry Aurora Smartphone that was manufactured by the BB Merah Putih in Indonesia is the first ever Blackberry device to offer dual SIM support. While the KEYone was launched with just 3GB of RAM, the Indian variant will feature an extra gig of RAM. Since the OS is taken care by Blackberry itself, the device will be running on Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box and will receive the monthly security updates as well. The Blackberry KEYone is said to cost Rs. 39,999 in India and will be available in the market from next month.
