BlackBerry: the first rugged device in the water

BlackBerry seems to be preparing a new Android smartphone with IP67 certification and no keyboard. The new device is expected to be released in October, and will be the first BlackBerry smartphone that will be water-resistant, as well as the DTEK60, released in October of 2016, KEYone which we saw in April this year, had such a possibility.

What BlackBerry is trying to achieve with the new model is to make available a smartphone that can be used at any time, regardless of weather conditions, said François Mahieu, General Manager of TCL on Engadget. TCL is the company that manufactures the of BlackBerry.BlackBerry

So we expect an IP67 certified device, which makes the phone resistant to dust and water. We should mention that this certification does not mean that you can take a bath with it your. Water resistant does not mean waterproof.

The new BlackBerry phone will not have a keyboard, but will focus on durability and long battery life. With these features the company believes could make many Android buyers and to switch sides.

Of course, like all other BlackBerry models, the design of the device will be particularly focused on safety.

The new BlackBerry model is supposed to cost less than the other high-end ones which are on the market.

As mentioned above BlackBerry seems to bet on the long battery life, as the device will offer about 26 hours of mixed use. This means that the phone should be able to operate not only one day but up to 2 days with average use.

More about the new BlackBerry model we will be learning this week at the IFA, while the release of the device is expected to take place in October.
