Leaked: Visa after Passport for BlackBerry

BlackBerry is gearing up for the global launch of the Passport this week. However, Berry Review points out that leaked information about a new patent form by BlackBerry reveals a new hybrid device.

The new design could be called Victoria or Visa and could be expected early in Q2 of 2015.

The new design is a simple, yet sophisticated form of a new physical keyboard. The bottom of the keyboard houses the keyboard in a rotating flap, which reveals the keyboard when flipped open. The 3-row keyboard will be similar to the one on the BlackBerry Passport.

The new design is a clever way to hide the keyboard and make the smartphone look like a complete touch device. The keyboard carefully tucks below the display and gives you more screen real estate for using.
