A user agent profile on TCL’s website has revealed some details of the possible successor to the Blackberry KEYone released earlier in the year.
The listing suggests that the BBF100-1 features the Snapdragon 660, Qualcomm’s mid-range SoC launched earlier this year, with this choice of silicon indicating that the unannounced handset may be positioned as a direct successor to the BlackBerry KEYone which also shipped with specs suitable for a smartphone competing in the mid-range segment of the market.
The UAProf listing of the BBF100-1 explicitly states that the handset comes with a QWERTY keyboard, in addition to revealing that its display panel has a resolution of 1,620 by 1,080 pixels which amounts to an aspect ratio of 3:2.
These are the same image format and resolution adopted by the BlackBerry KEYone which boasted a 4.5-inch IPS LCD panel, though the size of the screen found on the BBF100-1 hasn’t been mentioned by its UAProf entry.
The model number is similar to the one attached to the previous two BlackBerry devices made by TCL, with the recently announced BlackBerry Motion being known as the BBD100-1 and the BlackBerry KEYone featuring the BBB100-1 identifier.
The UAProf listing doesn’t reveal any other details about the unannounced handset and the information that it does disclose is extremely likely to be legitimate seeing how it originated from TCL itself.
