It looks like there is a new BlackBerry smartphone in the works, the BlackBerry KeyOne 2. The handset has recently appeared in some leaked renders and the device is apparently codenamed Athena.
Design and Features
Unfortunately, there do not appear to be any specifications for the handset as yet, although we can see from the photo that it will come with dual rear cameras and will feature a QWERTY keyboard like the original KeyOne. The inclusion of the dual rear cameras suggests that BlackBerry is aiming to enhance the photographic capabilities of the device, potentially offering features like portrait mode and improved low-light performance.
The original KeyOne featured a 4.5 inch display with a resolution of 1620 x 1080 pixels. It also came with a full QWERTY keyboard and was powered by a Snapdragon 625 processor and had 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Given the advancements in technology since the release of the original KeyOne, it is reasonable to expect that the KeyOne 2 will come with upgraded specifications. This could include a more powerful processor, possibly from the Snapdragon 700 series, and increased RAM and storage options to cater to the needs of modern smartphone users.
Potential Specifications and Launch
As yet, there are no details on when this new BlackBerry KeyOne handset will launch, and there is no confirmation as yet on whether it will be called the KeyOne 2. However, considering the trend in smartphone releases, it is likely that BlackBerry will aim to launch the device within the next few months to capitalize on the market demand for new and innovative devices.
In terms of software, the KeyOne 2 is expected to run on the latest version of Android, with BlackBerry’s signature security features and productivity tools. This would make it an attractive option for business professionals and security-conscious users who value the physical keyboard and robust security features that BlackBerry devices are known for.
The original KeyOne was well-received for its unique design and focus on productivity, and it is likely that the KeyOne 2 will build on this foundation. The addition of dual rear cameras and potential hardware upgrades could make it a compelling choice for users looking for a device that combines the best of both worlds – a physical keyboard and modern smartphone capabilities.
As soon as we get some more information, we will let you guys know. Stay tuned for updates on the specifications, features, and launch date of the BlackBerry KeyOne 2.
