It appears that a sibling with hardware QWERTY keyboard will soon join the BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9982. Images and details on yet to be revealed BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9983 made the rounds online. Codenamed “Khan” the handset combines BlackBerry’s signature hardware QWERTY keyboard with a touchscreen, just like the BlackBerry Q10. Its styling is similar to that of its predecessor, the BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9981.
Looks like BlackBerry is teaming up with Porsche Design yet again for another overpriced smartphone. The last version launched right around November of last year, and despite the downturn in BlackBerry’s market share across the board, the two companies are teaming up yet again. Next up: the BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9983. A few leaked photos of the P’9983 obtained by the BlackBerry bloggers at N4BB reveal the company’s plan to offer up a new device with a physical QWERTY keyboard after trying its hand at an all touchscreen design for last year’s P’9982. The upcoming handset also packs a 3.5-inch touchscreen display, 3GB of RAM, a dual-core 1.7GHz processor, 64GB of storage and BlackBerry 10.3. The new design looks like it’s mostly made of black matte plastic in front, though you can make out what might be a metal band wrapped around the edges of the device. Either way, we’re sure the P’9983 will use stainless steel or leather or some other high-end material to match its high price.
