Alongside unveiling the BlackBerry Leap, BlackBerry today showcased the BlackBerry Slider as its first slider smartphone at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2015. The smartphone features a dual-curved display and comes with a full QWERTY keyboard.
BlackBerry’s President for Devices and Emerging Solutions Ron Louks showcased the BlackBerry Slider smartphone at its MWC press conference in Barcelona, Spain.
Codenamed ‘Keian’, the BlackBerry Slider features a multi-touch supported display that has curved edges. The edges are not as curved as on the recently unveiled Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge but are expanding the viewing area to the left and right.
The BlackBerry Slider runs on the latest BlackBerry 10 OS version and has a full QWERTY keyboard to support touch and type inputs. The keyboard seems to have gesture input support, similar to the BlackBerry Passport.
Furthermore, the design of the new smartphone is quite identical to that of the BlackBerry Torch series smartphones.
BlackBerry has not yet revealed any details on the part of its specifications and availability. However, the BlackBerry Slider is expected to be available at a high-end price tag to compete against some of the flagship smartphones.
