In February, TCL unveiled a new BlackBerry-branded handset, the KEYone. After an unlocked model went on sale in the United States in May, priced at $549, Sprint began offering the device last month.
Today, AT&T announced that it will exclusively offer US buyers the new Space Black model of the KEYone, which was released in India a few weeks ago. When the carrier launches the handset on September 1, it will be priced at $16.67 per month on a 30-month plan - a total cost of $500.01.
The specs of the Space Black model are identical to the original silver-framed version of the device, including:
- 4.5-inch display with 1080x1620px resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass 4
- Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor
- 3GB RAM
- 32GB storage (plus microSD card support up to 256GB)
- 12MP rear camera with phase detection autofocus, dual-LED flash and 4K video recording at 30fps
- 8MP front-facing camera with 1080p video recording
- 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi, dual-band
- Bluetooth 4.2
- USB 3.1 port with Type-C connector
- Fingerprint sensor
- 3.5mm headphone jack
- 3505mAh battery
- 149 x 72 x 9.4mm; 180g
The KEYone promises "unparalleled security", thanks to its "hardened" version of Android 7.1 Nougat, which includes unique protective features not available on other Android devices.
