Chinese certification agency, TENAA has confirmed the official specifications of the yet-to-be announced Blackberry Athena (model number – BBF100-4). Few months ago, the device was spotted on Geekbench and will be the first Blackberry smartphone with dual rear cameras when it launches.
Highly tipped as the successor to the Blackberry KeyOne, the BBF100-4 (Athena) comes equipped with a 4-row backlit QWERTY keyboard with capacitive touch, up to 52 customizable shortcuts, flick typing support and the fingerprint sensor is built into the space bar.
The Blackberry BBF100-4 has a 4.5-inch (1620 x 1080 pixels) TFT display with 3:2 aspect ratio and scratch-resistant glass protection, 6GB of RAM, 64GB built-in storage (expandable up to 2TB via microSD), hybrid Dual SIM slots, USB 3.1 Type-C port, 3.5mm audio jack and a 3,360mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0.
In the camera segment, there is a front facing 8MP camera for selfies and 12MP + 8MP dual rear cameras. Internally, the smartphone relies on a 2.2GHz octa-core processor (likely the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 Mobile Platform) and boots Android 8.1 Oreo OS with Blackberry’s software suite expected onboard.
The BlackBerry BBF100-4 (Athena) is expected to go official in Q2 2018 and will arrive in Black and Silver colours.
