The carrier had recently rolled out a minor update preparing the KEYOne for an upgrade to Android Oreo and it seems to be finally ready. Users of the smartphone in Canada, therefore, could expect to see the update soon, though users in India and the US might have to wait a little longer as there isn’t an official time-frame mentioned just yet. As far as specifications go, the BlackBerry KEYOne features a 4.5-inch IPS display and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor. The phone also comes with a healthy, 3,505 mAh battery with support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0.
