A very confident Thorsten Heins, taking to the stage in Orlando to reveal the latest device in the BlackBerry family; the BlackBerry Q5.
BlackBerry’s CEO revealed the new handset during his keynote speech at BlackBerry Live, the company’s annual developer conference.
The Q5 features BlackBerry’s famous physical qwerty keyboard along with a 3.1-inch screen and lower res camera. It will also run BlackBerry 10, the company’s latest operating system.
Thorsten did not reveal the price of the Q5, but he did say the handset is targeting emerging markets such as Asia and South America, who may not have the money to purchase one of BlackBerry’s higher end devices such as the Z10 or Q10.
The Q5 is expected in a number of different colours including red, black, white and pink and will hit select markets later this summer.
