Last month, BlackBerry launched the BlackBerry KEY2 smartphone. This one is the successor smartphone of the BlackBerry KEYone. The Canadian manufacturer is focused on bringing resources to their users along with top-grade security enhancements. However, the BlackBerry KEYone is still running on Android Nougat version and the phone starts receiving first Android Oreo in North America on June 28 but that didn’t happen for all.

Now the company announced officially their Android Oreo Beta program for the BlackBerry KEYone device. As we all know that the every public beta release is only based for users testing and user experience before the global stable release.
“This month, July, we are moving our beta testing effort to a new community hosted by beta program experts Centercode.
