Finally got my KEYᴼᴺᴱ last Friday. Here are my quick hands on review.

A little bit background, I am a power user. I do FB live blogging, managing company social media sites, generates posters, makes deals and email.

Was previously a BlackBerry Curve, Z10 and Passport user before changing it to iPhone 6 a year ago.

During my time with iPhone, it was really the first time I enjoyed watching videos and consuming media with the phone. But to handle all my other workload, I use Ipad.

3 days + in with the KEYᴼᴺᴱ , I almost did not touch or use Ipad other than to generate quotations for my customers.

Every single task other than that have been passed to my KEYᴼᴺᴱ and it felt so good and productive. I made a bad call last time to put my corporate email in my iPhone. The iPhone is constantly in need of charging top up until I became fobia of the weak battery notification.


Going back to keyboard is awesome!
The screen is crisps and clear! Video and media consumption with KEYᴼᴺᴱ Is awesome!
Great camera and the quality of the selfie shooter really took me by surprise. It is crazy good!

But what's makes this the device for me on top of it all is the battery performance.
15-17 hours of usage and the battery still have a good 20% more to go. I did not charge my powerbank for the pass 3 days. I start to think I won't be using the Powerbank anymore.

Bought is at RM2600 at Low Yat. It is clearly one of my best purchases in 2017. Plan to use this phone for at least 2 years.

Hope everything turns out well 😀

hang?? ZERO hang so far.

the OS is very smooth and I even use BB Hub to it's full potential. Love that app!

there is the occasional lags when I push the memory management too far (listening to music, while navigating using google maps in the background and at the same time replying email and messages) .

This is definitely a productivity phone. LOOOOONG battery life combined with excellent speaker phone and great call quality.

Share the pics when you got the phone!


by the way, a friend of mine is selling his KEYone that he definitely seldom use. If got people interested, let me know!

This phone has no lag. But sometimes can see a delay to open some apps. Been using for 2 months+, pretty good.

They are new to Android platform, that I can forgive.

Mate 9 don't have PKB. Hahahahaha. Shortcuts for the win!

Isn't it suppose to be dual sim?

i heard only the india market model have dual sim...

I read about it too, really unfortunate. Single sim is sooo 2015! While iPhone I don't know when they will make it dual sim.
