After the release of the new BlackBerry KEYone at the MWC 2017 last weekend, images of another BlackBerry smartphone have been leaked. Unlike the KEYone, the upcoming BlackBerry Aurora will be equipped without a physical keyboard.
BlackBerry Aurora Leaked
Recent leaked images of a new BlackBerry mobile phone have appeared on the internet with the model number “BBC100-1”. In contrast to the KEYone, which was released at the MWC 2017 and is manufactured by the Chinese company TCL, the new device is to be produced by the partner company PT Merah Putih from Indonesia. Apparently, the device is also exclusively for the Indonesian market under the name “Aurora”.
However, the upcoming BlackBerry Aurora will be a “classic” smartphone again, that means it will have a “touch-only” display and no physical keyboard like its predecessor. In terms of specs, according to rumors, the device is going to sport a 5.5-inch display with the resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. Under the hood, it is said to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chipset paired with 3GB/4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The battery has supposedly the capacity of 3000 mAh.
The Aurora is to become the first BlackBerry smartphone ever to support the use of two SIM cards at the same time. Incredibly exciting, right? But friends, even if the device should not appear in your home country, BlackBerry fans can still hope for new smartphones of this company: besides the new KEYone, TCL has already announced to release more smartphones this year! Let’s wait and see.
BlackBerry Aurora Price and Availability
Unfortunately, we don’t have further information about other specs and precise information about price and availability of the mobile phone. But the BlackBerry Aurora is rumored to be a smartphone at budget price. What do you think about “Aurora”? Let us know in comments!
Can switching to Android save the dying BlackBerry? Will physical keyboard become the new trend? Let’s find out in this BlackBerry Keyone vs Apple iPhone 7 battle.
BlackBerry Keyone vs Apple iPhone 7: specs comparison
First, we are going to see how these two phones do in a BlackBerry Keyone vs Apple iPhone 7 hardware comparison. In terms of BlackBerry Keyone specs, it is powered by a Snapdragon 625 2.0GHz octa-core with 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM. Meanwhile, Apple iPhone 7 specs include an Apple A10 2.34GHz quad-core processor, along with 2GB of RAM and 32/128/256GB ROM. The Apple A10 can easily beat the high-end SND 820, while SND 625 is a processor for mid-range devices. So in this aspect, iPhone 7 is clearly better.
Moving on to the camera aspect, BlackBerry Keyone cameras feature a 12MP f/2.0 rear camera and an 8MP selfie camera. The back camera has phase detection autofocus, along with dual-LED flash, capable of recording 1080p@30fps videos. Meanwhile, iPhone 7 boasts a 12MP f/1.8 camera on the back and a 7MP f/2.2 snapper on the front. The back camera has phase autofocus, OIS and quad-LED flash, capable of recording 2160p@30fps videos. Clearly in this aspect, iPhone 7 takes the victory again.
However, BlackBerry Keyone has an advantage over the iPhone 7 when it comes to display and battery. The Keyone has a 4.5″ 1080 x 1620 pixels display, while iPhone 7 display is 4.7″ 750 x 1334 pixels. The Keyone is powered by a 3505mAh battery, while iPhone 7 uses a measly 1960mAh battery. Finally, one more thing that really makes BlackBerry new phone stands out is the physical keyboard.
BlackBerry Keyone vs Apple iPhone 7: price
BlackBerry Keyone price is expected to be around $599 ~ Rs. 39999, while Apple iPhone 7 price tag is currently around $790 ~ Rs. 52699. If you love physical keyboard and want to have a solid device with good battery life, then go with the Keyone. If you prefer touch screen and have a higher budget, then the iPhone 7 is a really nice choice.
Business Insider had a UBS research before and found that Apple is believed to have more than 1000 engineers working on AR in Israel and may we could see the first AR of this company in iPhone 8. If it comes true, it would be the great innovation of Apple.
Will AR mark a new advance for Apple?
As we have known before, AR (or “Augmented Reality”) is the newest notion that most of the people have always mentioned for 2 years now, and Apple is not the exception in this technological development. According to analyst Steven Milunovich and his team at UBS, AR products on next iPhone 8 are expected to be Apple new implement. Tim Cook was believed to speak repeatedly “broken the silence on future products with regards to AR”. And Milunovich notes that Apple appears more interested in AR rather than virtual reality (VR).
Furthermore, to make sure again, the note also says “According to some industry sources, the company may have over 1,000 engineers working on a project in Israel that could be related to AR”. This report suggested that if Apple continues in developing in AR, there will be a new camera of iPhone 8 would be used for facial recognition. It will create ‘3D selfies’ which can be used as avatars in augmented reality games. How incredible!
In an interview with the Independent early this month, Cook compared AR to the iPhone. And they have also summarized more Cook’s recent comments about AR, such as Nothing AR is bigger than VR, Viewing AR like the silicon in an iPhone,… Moreover, they believe that iPhone 8 will come wit an IR module on front camera which could take pictures in 3D effect.
Will AR be on iPhone 8 this year?
After Cook’s speech about AR, most of Apple enthusiasts would be eager to wait for the hugest innovation in smartphone technology that never has before. Will Apple decide to make a huge breakthrough with AR on iPhone 8?
Samsung Galaxy X has been confirmed by the Korean company. Based on recent reports, it will be the first ever foldable phone from Samsung.
Samsung Galaxy X: Samsung’s foldable phone?
We wrote an article back in January about Samsung’s foldable phone rumors. The rumors indicated that Samsung and LG are in a new race to release the world’s first foldable smartphone. Some sources even confirmed that Galaxy X will be the name for Samsung’s phone. But back then, no one outside Samsung really knew if the phone ever existed. Today, a report has showed up confirming about this device. Apparently, Samsung has finally trademarked the name Galaxy X.
This trademark filing have just confirmed about this foldable phone. On top of that, Samsung also patented designs for the device before. But, it is important to remember that the name Galaxy X could mean anything. The trademark file is very general and does not mention a folding smartphone. However, many people believe that it will be the foldable Galaxy X1 and Galaxy X1+ that have been reported earlier bearing the model numbers SM-X9000 and SM-X9050.
Keep in mind that even if this is real, the phone will not be available this year. It will be put up for trial production at the end of 2017, with mass production follows in Q2 2018. So prepare to wait another year before you can finally see it.
Samsung Galaxy X: The new race for foldable devices
Like we said, Samsung is not the only one making foldable phones. LG, Apple and Microsoft are doing it too. They’ve partnered up with each other to develop foldable panels. Foldable screen, along with AR will surely become the future of smartphone. It will be a tough and exciting race for all smartphone makers. So stay tuned if you want to keep up with the latest trend in the mobile world!
