New BlackBerry Phone with IP67 certification and Big Battery Coming Soon

The BlackBerry KEYone has reportedly seen great success, so naturally TCL – the company which now manufacturers BlackBerry handsets – is eager to launch more great products.

According to one of the company’s officials who spoke to Engadget, we can expect a new BlackBerry smartphone to make a debut in October. However, this time we’re talking about a full-touch model without the iconic QWERTY keyboard.

TCL has high hopes for the new product, as it believes it could even convince iPhone or Samsung Galaxy owners to make the switch. What will be the features that will enable it to do that?

Apparently, the yet to be announced handset will be the first BlackBerry to be water-resistant coming with IP67 certification. It will also boast a big battery, said to be able to last 26 hours or more with mixed use.

Apart from these details, we don’t really know what the upcoming BlackBerry device will bring to the table. For example, we can’t tell you at this point whether the phone will come bundling high-end specs or middle-range ones like the BlackBerry KEYone does.

Anyway, TCL is going to be present at the IFA 2024 trade show in Berlin this week, so maybe the company will be sharing more details about the upcoming product during the event.
