Blackberry might not be making phones itself anymore, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be seeing a new ‘Berry’ soon enough.
The company ended all internal hardware developments and outsourced that function to partners, which will be making the next BlackBerry. The rumor mill calls it Mercury and over the weekend a few images of the purported device leaked online.
Word on the street has it Mercury is going to be the last device with a physical QWERTY keyboard developed in-house. The pictures you see here popped up on Weibo.
The phone comes with a rectangular design and runs Android out of the box. A few months ago, the Mercury showed up in GeekBench with model number BBB100-1 and revealing its specs.
If we are to flag the listing as authentic, the phone should make a debut with a 4.5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixel resolution and a Snapdragon 625 chipset clocked at 2.02GHz under the hood. The BlackBerry could also arrive carrying 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage and an impressive 18MP main camera plus an 8MP selfie shooter.
Breathing life into the rumoured model will be a 3,400 mAh battery. Mercury will launch with Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box and BlackBerry will slip some of its software package on board.
If the listing turns out to be true, the Mercury will make an entrance as a budget-minded device that shouldn’t be super expensive. What do you think?
