Market availability already separates them. I checked Jamuna, Bashundhara City, and local shops along with online Bangladeshi sellers. The BlackBerry KEY2 is unofficial only, mostly used or refurbished, with prices depending on condition rather than value. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is officially sold, widely stocked, and price-stable with service support.

Network & Connectivity Comparison BlackBerry KEY2 & Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
I tested both phones on Grameenphone, Banglalink, Airtel, and Robi. The BlackBerry KEY2 handled calls fine but showed unstable 4G speeds during congestion. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra maintained stronger signals, faster data, and full 5G readiness. Wi-Fi performance was also more stable on the Samsung S25 Ultra. For Bangladesh’s evolving networks, the KEY2 already feels behind.
Camera Comparison of BlackBerry KEY2 & Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Camera behavior isn’t close. The BlackBerry KEY2 delivers decent daylight shots but struggles badly in low light and video. Focus, exposure, and consistency fall apart quickly. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra delivers reliable photos and videos across all conditions. Even current mid-range phones in Bangladesh now outperform the KEY2 camera.
Display Quality Comparison of BlackBerry KEY2 & Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Display quality defines comfort. The BlackBerry KEY2’s LCD panel looks fine indoors but struggles under sunlight and feels dated. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra’s Dynamic AMOLED display is brighter, smoother, and far more comfortable for reading, video, and outdoor use. One feels functional, the other immersive.
Which One Should You Buy
Choose the BlackBerry KEY2 only if a physical keyboard matters more than everything else. For performance, camera, battery, and longevity, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra makes far more sense.
Editor's Verdict
The BlackBerry KEY2 is a niche productivity relic. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a modern flagship built for today’s Bangladesh users.
