TCL today announced that the BlackBerry KEY2 LE will be coming soon to Verizon Enterprise and Small Business customers. The Slate variant of KEY2 LE will offer Dual-SIM support, 4GB of memory, and 64GB of internal storage.
“In today’s business world, whether you’re a large enterprise or a small business, you need tools for your team that not only put productivity first, but also help keep your organization’s security and privacy at the core of everything it does,” said Francois Mahieu, General Manager of BlackBerry Mobile for TCL Communication.
“This is why we’re so proud to partner with Verizon to offer the BlackBerry KEY2 LE to their business customers. They can buy with confidence not only knowing they’re getting a genuine BlackBerry experience, but also knowing they’re getting a modern smartphone built for productivity, reliability and security.”
The BlackBerry KEY2 LE features a lightweight polycarbonate frame and a newly designed soft textured back that provides better in-hand grip to prevent drops. It also includes a Full-HD, 2.5D display and will be available in three accent colour options: Slate, Champagne, and Atomic.
The BlackBerry KEY2 LE comes with 4GB of memory and in both 32GB and 64GB storage variants – with both offering expandable storage MicroSD support. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and an efficient battery that offers up to 22 hours of mixed use to get you through the busiest of days and often into the next day.
“We are excited to add the BlackBerry KEY2 LE to Verizon’s portfolio of leading-edge smartphones for our business customers,” said James Hammond, Director of Business Devices at Verizon.
“With BlackBerry’s decades of experience securing the mobile workforce running on America’s largest and most reliable 4G LTE network, we continue to offer an industry-leading lineup of solutions needed by businesses.”
