Kubukeka sengathi enkampanini yaseCanada bafuna ukuthola indawo yabo futhi emakethe yezingcingo egcwele abantu futhi ngaphandle kokungabaza ukuba nezinhlobo eziningana zokubambelela kuyisisekelo sanoma iluphi uhlobo lomkhiqizo, kulokhu sinokuvuza okusemthethweni kwemininingwane ukuqaliswa kosuku kweBlackBerry Aurora entsha. Le smartphone, ngokungafani nale esiyibonile sayithinta kwi-Mobile World Congress, iBlackBerry KEY, ayinayo ikhibhodi ebonakalayo, ingaphambili lonke lesikrini futhi nayo ayincane, isikrini esingu-5,5 intshi AMOLED nesisombululo se-HD futhi konke okunye okushiwo kuyathakazelisa impela.
Ngokuyinhloko le divayisi entsha izokwethulwa ngo-Ephreli 13 uma kungekho zinguquko ngomzuzu wokugcina, ingangeza izinhlobo ezimbili ezihlukene ezimakwe ngokugcinwa kwangaphakathi kodwa ngokomthetho okulindelwe ukuthi izokwengeza ngaphezu kwesikrini esingu-5,5-intshi, iprosesa I-Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 ku-1,4 GHz, I-4 GB ye-RAM ne-32 GB noma i-64 GB yesitoreji sangaphakathi. Ngalo mqondo, ukuhlunga kukhuluma kuphela ngemodeli engama-32 GB futhi lo mthamo unganwetshwa ngamakhadi e-MicroSD angafika kuma-256 GB. Iphinde ingeze ikhamera ye-13MP ngemuva ne-8MP ngaphambili, ihambisana nebhethri le-3,000mAh, i-dualSIM ne-Android 7.0 Nougat.
Lapho kungaziwa intengo esemthethweni (kukhulunywa ngama-dollar angaba ngu-250 cishe) Futhi uma le divayisi izothengiswa ngaphandle komngcele wase-Asia, siyaqiniseka ukuthi lokhu ngeke kwaziwe njengemodeli yekhibhodi ekhonjiswe ku-MWC, iBlackBerry KEY eyodwa, kodwa kuyiqiniso ukuthi inkampani idinga i-push ukuze ithole uphume kulo mgodi futhi uthole indawo emakethe egcwele kakhulu amadivayisi azungeze le ntengo.
