BlackBerry has been very unhappy with the sales of its new Android flagship Priv, but to surrender it did not intend: this year it will release two smartphone with the same platform, which, unlike the vertical slider presented on the picture will be not to top and middle segment. In this simple way, the Canadians plan to attract a wider audience of consumers.
New BlackBerry devices have not yet been presented, but something about them told by himself John Chen (John Chen) the CEO of the company. According to him, one of the devices with the code name Hamburg will be released this fall and will be only a touchscreen as input device — a hardware keyboard too much to hope for. But a second phone, the show is expected in November or December 2016, on the contrary, will be endowed with a physical keyboard, as always, comfortable and functional, but the housing type is still unknown.
The second smartphone is the code name for Rome, and it equally can be a candy bar, and a vertical or even a horizontal slider. The cost of both models, according to preliminary estimates, will amount to from 300 to 400 dollars, which is somehow above average, so BlackBerry will have to try hard to match smartphones in terms of price and offered more than 200-dollar monoblocks from China, about which we regularly write about on our portal.
