It’s not something widely anticipated, but it is something new. The BlackBerry Q5 is the new and affordable BB10 successor to the BlackBerry Q5.
It was announced officially today by Thorsten Heins (CEO) over at BlackBerry Live. It has a 720 x 720, 3.1-inches display, and also has the infamous but beloved BlackBerry QWERTY. It has a simple build, and should have a considerably lower price-tag than the Q10 and the Z10. This might just be a smart move on BlackBerry’s part, but we’ll just have to wait and see if people will actually appreciate it. The device will most probably release in July for a few selective markets- Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America.
