Smartphones with physical keyboards aren't in high demand these days. That hasn't deterred TCL Communications from trying to bring back the glory of the BlackBerry brand with its famed hardware keyboard. TCL launched the BlackBerry KEYOne and BlackBerry Priv as their first BlackBerry-branded Android smartphones with dedicated hardware keyboards, and while the company hasn't had the runaway success that HMD Global has had with the revival of the Nokia brand, they've done well enough to justify releasing the BlackBerry KEY2. Rumors of a more affordable version of the BlackBerry KEY2 have been popping up since late July and mid-August. Today, at IFA 2018, TCL officially announced the BlackBerry KEY2 LE, a less powerful but cheaper version of the KEY2 Android phone with a hardware keyboard.
