It's a fine mid-range device, but it's my opinion that physical keyboards are just not for everyone anymore.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Android Authority | Williams Pelegrin

The BlackBerry Key2 LE is a great option for keyboard loyalists who can't splurge. Everyone else should keep walking.

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.

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.

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.

A good-looking throwback to a simpler age, but the lack of power and that strange screen ratio might put some people off.

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.

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.

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.

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.

91mobiles | Prateek Pandey

Despite everything, I feel that the BlackBerry KEY2 LE is a solid smartphone albeit, caters to a niche group of users.

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.

BlackBerry returns to its business roots with the Key2 LE, and in shunning high-tech features, the phone borders on the boring.

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.
