Shortly after being revealed on TENAA’s website, the BlackBerry Athena (Blackberry Key2) has leaked in live images as well as its specs and features. The latest leaked images are no way different from what TENAA had revealed in Design.
Checkout one of the leaked images below:
The second one shows the device on the left, and an image clicked by the phone on the right. Note the BlackBerry KEY² moniker at the bottom of the image on the right.
Of course, the moniker/watermark shows that the image is yet to be official, as this can be done using tools/apps that are widely available. However, the name does make sense given it’s the successor to the Keyone.
As for specs, the device is rumored to be powered by Snapdragon 660, come with 6GB RAM, and run Android 8.0 Oreo. Checkout the unofficial specs and feature for the Blackberry Keytwo below:
