If you thought physical keyboards on smartphones were a thing of the past, think again. BlackBerry phones \u2014 which are well known for their physical keyboards \u2014 have been making a comeback. So it shouldn\u2019t be surprising that most of the best QWERTY smartphones being released this year have been designed by BlackBerry. While there are still plenty of non-BlackBerry smartphones with QWERTY keyboards, few of them can compete with BlackBerry\u2019s design and performance. Nonetheless, check out some of 2017\u2019s top QWERTY phones below.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. BlackBerry KeyOne<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The best QWERTY phone being released this year is definitely the BlackBerry KeyOne (it was previously known as BlackBerry Mercury). It still has a classic BlackBerry design, but with all of the perks of the Android operating system. Unlike the BlackBerry Priv, the KeyOne has a completely visible keyboard \u2014 i.e., it can\u2019t be hidden behind the screen. Unlike the classic BlackBerry design, the KeyOne has a longer screen, which makes it more similar to modern Android phones. The KeyOne features an LCD screen, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera, an 8-megapixel front-facing camera, and a Snapdragon 625 processor. For those who are a fan of the classic BlackBerry design, this one\u2019s for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. BlackBerry Priv<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If you\u2019re looking for a smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard that\u2019s more affordable than the KeyOne, then the Priv is your solution. As mentioned, this phone features a hidden, pop-out keyboard, which is appealing if you still want the look and feel of non-QWERTY smartphones. This phone has the Android operating system, a 5.4-inch HD display, an 18-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, and the ability to record 4K video. It also has 32GB of storage and 3GB of RAM. Overall, the Priv is a great QWERTY smartphone that still performs on the same level as many recent non-QWERTY smartphones.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. LG Xpression 2<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        This is the most affordable phone on this list. If you simply want a basic phone with a QWERTY keyboard, then this is a good phone to choose. Visually, it resembles a more compact version of T-Mobile\u2019s once-popular Sidekick phone. It has 256MB of storage and 128MB of RAM, making this a true throwback phone. This phone features limited apps, which means this device is better for those who want to stick to phone calls, texting, and email. There\u2019s also a camera for basic picture-taking needs. Further, if you purchase a contract with AT&T, this phone will cost next-to-nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
