What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

91	TechAeris | Alex Hernandez It's a fine mid-range device, but it's my opinion that physical keyboards are just not for everyone anymore. Read full review
85	Coolsmartphone | Dan Carter Having used a few Blackberry devices recently, I pretty much knew what I was expecting from the KEY2 LE. A decent cut-down version of the original Key2. Read full review
84	NotebookCheck | Florian Scmitt Slimmed down, but in the right places. The BlackBerry KEY2 LE is a decent business smartphone with a physical keyboard that retains most of the KEY2's best features. Read full review
80	IT PRO | Alan Martin While we're still not sold on the utility of a physical keyboard in this day and age, the sensible cuts TCL has made to the BlackBerry Key2 LE make it a much more attractive proposition - particularly for security-conscious businesses. Read full review
80	Expert Reviews | Alan Martin Should you buy a BlackBerry in 2019? I wouldn't personally... But if you prefer everything with a BlackBerry taste, then the Key2 LE is worth a nibble. Read full review
80	Android Authority | Williams Pelegrin The BlackBerry Key2 LE is a great option for keyboard loyalists who can't splurge. Everyone else should keep walking. Read full review
80	TechRadar | Holly Brockwell A 'light' version of the Key2, the Key2 LE offers the classic BlackBerry keyboard in a less pricey package. It's not a mainstream proposition, but its target audience will love it. Read full review
80	MobileTechTalk | Domenico Lamberti All in all, the KEY2 LE makes sense for a very small nice, but BlackBerry has found a way to wiggle in and snuggle into many niches over the years, so whilst I can't see it yet, Read full review
80	Mobile Syrup | Domenico Lamberti All in all, the KEY2 LE makes sense for a very small nice, but BlackBerry has found a way to wiggle in and snuggle into many niches over the years, so whilst I can't see it yet, When the successor eventually comes out next year, I'll probably be kicking myself over this paragraph.

80	Pocket-lint | Cam Bunton The price reflects the mid-range specs, but what you get is still a solid, productivity-boosting device that holds true to the values you'd expect from a BlackBerry. Read full review
80	Know Your Mobile | Damien McFerran A good-looking throwback to a simpler age, but the lack of power and that strange screen ratio might put some people off. Read full review
70	PCWorld | Adam Patrick Murray The BlackBerry Key2 LE cuts some corners to come in cheaper than the standard Key2, but luckily that sweet keyboard is unaffected. Read full review
70	Phone Scoop | Eric M. Zeman This phone is for people who want a physical keyboard, some extra work tools, and BlackBerry's software. If you consume lots of media (particularly video), go with a normal, slate-style device. I like the Key2 LE's character, but it's strictly for keyboard die-hards. Read full review
70	NDTV Gadgets | Jamshed Avari Unless you're utterly and completely certain by now that you need a physical keyboard, the Key2 LE is not the best use of your money. Read full review
70	Trusted Reviews | Jon Mundy The Key2 LE remains a 'BlackBerry die-hards only' affair, but it's far more sensibly priced than its big brother. Read full review
70	91mobiles | Prateek Pandey Despite everything, I feel that the BlackBerry KEY2 LE is a solid smartphone albeit, caters to a niche group of users. Read full review
60	The Indian Express | Anuj Bhatia For me, the biggest issue with the Key2 LE is the lack of purpose. Granted, the phone is not for everyone and it is targeted at those who can't live without a physical keyboard. Read full review
60	Digital Trends | Andy Boxall BlackBerry returns to its business roots with the Key2 LE, and in shunning high-tech features, the phone borders on the boring. Read full review
60	Tom's Guide | Adam Ismail The Key2 LE makes BlackBerry's physical keyboard phone affordable, though it carries some compromises to hit its lower price. Read full review
