Last month, we found out that BlackBerry will license its name to Chinese manufacturer TCL who will design, manufacture, sell, and support all future BlackBerry-branded mobile devices. It looks like the first of these devices will be unveiled on 25th February, two days before Mobile World Congress 2017.
BlackBerry were showing off a prototype device at CES 2017 called the 'Mercury'. This is likely to be the phone launched at the event. The Mercury seen at CES had a physical QWERTY keyboard and was powered by Android. Specs-wise, current rumors suggest the mid-range device will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor with 3GB of RAM. The rear camera is likely to be an 18-megapixel shooter (like the Blackberry Priv) with an 8-megapixel front camera.
