Would you buy a Blackberry in 2019?

Or would that be a bad joke for you? I think that somehow fully cool Android with keyboard.

Just looking for a smartphone for my dad and somehow I've wandered with my thoughts from the LG G6 on the HTC U12 Life on the Huawei Mate20 to the LG G7 ThinQ. And now I suddenly find the Blackberry Key 2 LE totally cool. Can't decide. What could I do?

I would not buy, because I did not like the devices from the ground up… I have the same brand for years and will stay there. However, maybe you should talk to your father about what he means. Ask him what he cares about most and then decide depending on.

The ones listed above, I would definitely grab the Mate 20, I'm ready my third Huawei and it was always just great. Software updates come fast and the EMUI interface is almost like pure Android, nothing was made worse.

Blackberry back and forth, the brand was not dead for nothing and broke - only Qualcomm has saved to my knowledge. If I did not buy, far away I had an Android phone with hardware keyboard and touch - find the mix in the controls anything but intuitive.

When the Blackberries still had their own operating system, they were really good.

Now, in connection with Android, that is kind of uniformity, which I think is a pity.

For someone who likes to write, a full-text keyboard is better at classes than an on-screen keyboard. For graphic applications, however, then the space for the display is missing.

Blackberry is neither dead nor broke.

They were in the red and almost broke away from the market about two years ago. Nobody has bought Blackberry since the introduction of Touch Smartphones. In 2016, they even announced that they would focus only on software and completely discontinue hardware. Somehow, they have always pulled away from the cliff.

The smartphone business bobbles away in terms of software, Blackberry is doing quite well in the long term with licensing by QNX.
