Although the KEYone was unveiled at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, it hasn't hit stores yet. A few days ago, BlackBerry announced that its new smartphone will debut in May, specifically on May 5 in the US and Canada. 
The unlocked version of the BlackBerry KEYone is already available for pre-order in the United Kingdom for £499, with shipping expected to begin on May 5. It should be noted that the smartphone will likely be available in other European countries on the same day.
Therefore, consumers from the United States and Canada will be able to place their order on May 5th.
The reason why the BlackBerry KEYone launch was delayed so long is related to inventory. TCL's president said that the official release date was moved up in order to meet demand for the phone. He also added that although the smartphones are still in the manufacturing phase, they have already exceeded their initial supply.
The BlackBerry KEYone stands out for its QWERTY physical keyboard. Inside the smartphone we find powerful features such as 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage as well as a 4.5-inch display with 1080p resolution. It runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 625 processor, has a Sony IMX378 sensor with 12MP, 4K recording capability as well as a secondary 8MP camera with f / 2.2 aperture. The new smartphone draws power from a 3,505mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0. The phone runs on Android 7.1 Nougat and comes with BlackBerry's security application, HUB and DTEK, making it the most secure smartphone on the market.
