Did you know that the BlackBerry KeyOne, a phone hailed for its privacy and security features, still hasn't received a major software update? It's kind of hard to believe, but it's true — the KeyOne is still running Android 7.1 Nougat, the same version of Android it launched with last year.

Thankfully, that's changing soon. According to an update schedule chart on Canadian carrier Rogers' website, the BlackBerry KeyOne will receive its Android 8.0 Oreo update on June 28.

BlackBerry just launched its new flagship phone, the Key2. The company tells us that the Key2 will receive an update to Android P at a later date, but I'm not holding my breath that it will happen in a timely manner. Android 8.0 Oreo was released to the public on August 21, 2017, which means BlackBerry dragged its feet for almost 10 months on this update.

I'm really hoping BlackBerry improves its update situation in the future. 10 months is not a good look.
