BlackBerry Mercury with a full QWERTY keyboard? leaked images say so

The leaked images of the BlackBerry 'Mercury' don't tell much about the most anticipated phone other than it will feature a physical QWERTY keyboard.

Chinese Social media website, Sina Weibo has spotted two images of the phone with a slim side-bezel design, a front camera and light sensors. The phone which will be running on Android also appears to feature capacious buttons placed between the screen and keyboard.

Along with BlackBerry BBB100-1, Mercury was earlier spotted on Geekbench, a benchmarking website in October. The site said the phone will be featuring 2GHz Octa-core Qualcomm processor and featuring Android 7.0 Nougat OS.

The phone has 3GB RAM and got 913 on the single-core score and 5046 on the multi-core score. Mercury comes with a 4.5-inch Full HD display and an aspect ratio of 3:2.
