Blackberry latest product
Blackberry has definitely been going through
some hard times lately. The legendary
company hasn’t quite managed to stay
relevant and is left targeting a pretty narrow,
niche consumer market. The company’s latest
smartphone, the BlackBerry Leap, which
came out at MWC 2015 didn’t really manage
to impress,, but there might still be some
hope for the Canadian company to rekindle
at least some of its former glory.
As some of you surely remember, at the very
same
Barcelona venue last month, Blackberry gave
us a quick tease by bringing up on stage what
clearly looked like a slider with a double-
edged screen. A new set of leaked images
seems to showcase the very same phone, as
well as two more BlackBerry devices, so fans
have a lot to look forward to.

First up, is the aforementioned curved device.
It is
dubbed the BlackBerry Slider or BlackBerry
Venice and it is gearing up to be a true
flagship offering. It should feature a 5.1-inch
display, with a resolution of 1440 x 2560
pixels. Currently, we can’t really say in the
display is actually curved, like the one on the
Galaxy S6 edge, or the effect is achieved by
some clever optical work, like with the
upcoming Oppo R7, but that is really beside
the point. The smartphone looks quite nice
and a very pleasant change of pace for
BlackBerry. Its specs sheet should also
include an octa-core CPU, a 16MP main
camera, 5MP front-facing shooter and a
3,650 mAh battery, so it is definitely studding
into flagship territory.
There are two other new devices that are
featured in the leaked photos. One is said to
be a direct successor to the current
BlackBerry Passport. As far as we know, it will
bear the name Oslo and share much of its
sibling’s specs sheet, like the same 1440 x
1440 pixels display, Snapdragon 800 chipset,
a 13MP camera with OIS and a 3450 mAh
battery. The device also looks to be quite
similar on the physical side, with the same
spacious physical QWERTY keyboard.

Last, but not least, we have a device,
allegedly bearing the model number P’9984,
which could only mean one thing – a new
Porsche Design handset. It also looks to be
modeled after the BlackBerry Passport, but
bears that signature design and color-pallet.

Neither of the devices has been discussed at
lengths by BlackBerry, so we can don’t have
any info on availability or pricing.
