You can compare the BlackBerry Curve 8350i with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool. There are some differences, however. First off the left convenience key is not actually a convenience key, it is a DC button. Also, the 8350i is larger in every dimension.

OLED or 8K? We compare the two most sought-after TV features

Buying a new television can be a bewildering experience, but if there’s one big question you’re going to have to answer, it’s this one: OLED or 8K?
OLED explained
Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) is a display technology that has been around for around a decade and yet only recently matured enough to be used on big-screen TVs. It’s nothing short of the best TV display technology around. If you’re not convinced go read our OLED vs QLED guide for more detail.
It works by using a carbon-based film between two conductors that emits its own light when an electric current is passed through. This means it is ‘self-emissive’, and each pixel is individually controlled, so two pixels next to each other can separately produce deep black and bright white. The resulting contrast ratio is incredibly high. The pixel-level control also means very high refresh rates, so no motion blur.
There are other advantages; the lack of a backlight to provide illumination – as found on LED TVs — also means a super-slim design is possible. Put simply, if you want the very best picture and the best-looking TV, it has to be OLED.

Upscale 4K to 8K
OLED and 8K are not rival technologies, but they do compete for your wallet. That said, there are some TVs that combine both an OLED display and 8K resolution. The pickings are slim (in more ways than one) and expensive; look at the best 8K TVs and you’ll find only the LG Signature ZX Series.
The ZX is found in a 77-inch (US$30,100 / UK£24,999 / AU$51,000) and 88-inch (US$50,000 / UK£39,999 / AU$82,000) size. It’s a follow-up to the first OLED 8K TV in 2019, the LG Z9 OLED 8K TV, and is set to get an LG Z1 successor later this year.
There’s also the 88-inch Beovision Harmony, an LG and B&O collaboration with a price estimated at $49,000 / £44,100 (around AU$74,000).
Suffice to say, very few shoppers out there will be able to opt for a TV that combines both of these technologies.

OLED TV technology is more mature than 8K TV technology. The former has been gradually growing, becoming more adept, and has recently become available in a lot more sizes. OLED TVs appear to be on the cusp of something really big. Now firmly established as the step-up TV tech of choice for the discerning viewer, OLED looks likely to break into mainstream living rooms within a few years, though with only one manufacturer it’s taking time for OLED to become affordable.
8K technology is far less mature. Its audience, for now, is exclusively early adopters with money to burn. After all, there’s very little source material available in 8K, though 4K-to-8K upscaling, video quality, and AI picture processing are all coming along splendidly. Still, it’s inevitable that 8K TVs launching in a few years will be much more accomplished and natively 8K video will emerge.
You don’t need an 8K TV. It’s still very early days for 8K resolution and the only reason to invest now is to be in the first wave of early adopters. If that’s your thing, go for it, but a 4K TV will also hugely impress you. Though it’s definitely a spoil-yourself purchase, an OLED TV is a more real-world purchase.
A 4K OLED TV is arguably the current sweet-spot for anyone after the best picture quality, but 8K TVs may become harder to avoid. Are OLED and 8K TVs on a collision course? Certainly they are, and there’s only going to be one winner – us.
