LONDON: Blackberry CEO John Chen showcased a brand new Blackberry device to the press during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week.
According to reports, the device is a slider similar to the Torch, which was announced a couple of years ago.
Reports also mentioned that aside from the slider technology, the mysterious smartphone also had curved display similar to the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. The Galaxy S6 Edge just took home the MWC crown this year.
Based on the reports of the unknown Blackberry slider phone, artist Dylan Habkirk decided to make a concept design for the smartphone.
In the report by TechnoBuffalo, the device imagined by Habkirk boasts a dual-edged screen with QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution, a 16MP primary camera at the back, and a slide-out QWERTY keypad that has 35 keys.
In the concept art, the Blackberry device is described having a huge 3,560mAh battery.
The past few months, Blackberry has been reaping the rewards of its biggest risk in recent years the Blackberry Passport.
The Passport combined the touchscreen experience with the company’s well-loved QWERTY keypad like never seen before.
Moreover, it featured the current high-end specs, so people who want to get the latest in technology made sure not to miss it.
Given the success of the Passport, the Canada-based manufacturer could use the same risk in developing this unnamed slider phone.
