11 November, 2015
Likely an early concept of a future Android-powered BlackBerry, the device returns to the company's design roots.

      It is hoped that BlackBerry releases good quality all touch devicesnasnbwell as ones with dedicated keyboards. Many fans of the Blackberry keyboard including myself were extremely impressed with the virtual keyboard on the Z10. This is considered as among the very best of touch keyboards out there. Also, as BlackBerry embraces Android OS - which has always been focused on a touchscreen user interface - it ought to offer quality all touch devices as well as hybrid solutions.

      Finally, it would be a great shame if BlackBerry's management decide to abandon all the great work that went in to design BlackBerry 10 OS, a very underestimated operating system with an excellent approach to mobile productivity and security.

                  Seem like a render made by iphone user. The moment I saw the rear camera I just knew it right away. And the thick bezel at the front too.

                    I think the blackberry is trying to commit suicide. First why even pay attention to security when you have a external memory card since anyone can take it out of the phone. Secondly why would you stick with physical keyboard and compromise size when the virtual keyboard is faster especially with auto complete feature. I'm really confused. Did I miss a meeting?

                      Blackberry Dude, if you wanna get in the game, get in the game completely. You'll need to make Midrange phones. Just high End won't give you a cut. There are bigger fish in high end water.

                              Only one question - how big it will be?
                              If as big as Priv, or bigger, than I'm not interested.
                              Priv looks really nice, but it is TOO BIG. - it should be as Xperia Z5 Compact, not bigger (it should not be thin - I don't see any advantage in those super thin phones, which all latter are covered with thick protection cover).
                              Main disadvantage of all BlacBerrys in last 2 years - too big. It seems than Blacberry forgotten how big were successful Bold and Curve series.
                              Small details I would like - fingerprint scanner on side (Xperia z5) and physical Accept/decline buttons on front panel. :)

                                  Its getting a bit boring now Blackberry has hit the wall hard and to make matters worst they left their faithful BB10 customers hanging with that perception in mind who will want to purchase and android when Samsung and others are King in the business.lol Blackberry concentrate on your loyal customers and listen and build on their ideas. Just the way apple does and Samsung they don't abandon ship when hit with rough waters.

                                    This looks like an improved version of HTC Chacha.

                                      Eske Rahn, 12 Nov 2015True or not, it sure is a render and not the real thing. Lo... more...so you're calling fake on a render, in an article that's quite clear about it being a render?

                                        True or not, it sure is a render and not the real thing. Look at the two images top left, the 'reflections' in the screens are too identical to be real.
