BlackBerry last year focused on Android when he said actively and passively that he would not put aside his own OS for mobile devices, to finally forget about it and dedicate himself exclusively to Google's OS, which is the most installed on smartphones on the planet.
One of those exclusively dedicated smartphones is the BlackBerry Mercury (we saw it 4 days ago) that would be presented at CES in Las Vegas in the coming days and that stands out for a peculiarity for those nostalgic for BlackBerrys, your physical QWERTY keyboard.
A teaser of the BlackBerry Mercury with its physical QWERTY keyboard, which has been designed and manufactured by TCL, Alcatel's company, has been shown by Steve Cistulli, president of TCL, as a preliminary to what will be seen at CES in Las Vegas.
It was already in the middle of December when the 'relationship' was formalized between BlackBerry and TCL, which brought the Canadian company to the fore as a software company. TCL will launch the BlackBerry-branded terminals, so the telecom giant will be in charge of bringing the Android software.
Several rumors have arisen from the BlackBerry Mercury in previous weeks that have been drawing a little the main characteristics of the smartphone. It will have an ron-screen resolution a bit strange with 1620 x 1080 and a pixel density of 420 ppi, which works well for a 4,63-inch screen. We can also talk about a Snapdragon chip that would be located in its strangers, although it is unknown what it will be, possibly the 625, a 3GB RAM and 32 GB of internal memory.
A terminal that gives start to the BlackBerry journey throughout the year with Android. A year in which more terminals are expected from the Canadian company, although we can forget about this physical QWERTY keyboard so peculiar to the Mercury.
