The Ultimate Future proof Blackberry
If anyone at TCL is reading this who is involved in designing the hardware and software architecture of the Blackberry slated for launch in 2018, make this device and I can personally guarantee its success in 2018-2019.
This article is kept in mind the features the customers want, the mobile user psychology and keeping the entire landscape of mobile phone users in mind. Blackberry needs to make this phone with every consumer in the world in mind and not just "Business" users.
Picture this,
A mobile phone with the current chassis of the blackberry keyone, a graphene battery, which would not only increase the battery life exponentially but also enable TCL to have a much thinner device(50% of the keyone's thickness).
NO PHYSICAL KEYBOARD- I'll tell you why, later in this article.
a 6.4 inch screen on the front running from the metallic bezel on the top all the way to the bottom. No buttons on the front of the device.
A physical mute button on the side(like iphone) and 2 front and 2 rear cameras all with flash.
Snapdragon 845 (or the latest and greatest processor available) and an AMOLED screen up front.
Dear TCL, to make this phone you need to understand why you are making it. You need to understand that Blackberry isn't just for the CEO's. It for everybody. This is one marketing trick that worked for blackberry back in the day but being stuck to this image just isn't giving the brand a far-reaching appeal.
The physical keyboard, no matter how good, is just more difficult to type on that an iOS or android or swiftkey keyboard, in todays world. SO to play it big(play it wide and stop playing it safe) give the consumers what they want.
A 6.4 inch AMOLED screen will soon be the norm as its the perfect dimension that hits the sweet-spot keeping in mind that the phone should be portable yet big enough to be used for media consumption.
No buttons on the front of the device will be the norm followed by all companies after the launch of Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ and no matter whatever marketing campaign users come up with, the new user would want to have a device with the smallest bezels on the market from a reliable brand.
A physical mute button might seem like an unimportant thing to have but it just makes life a lot more easier for all users and I wonder why no other brand other than apple uses this for their phones.
Dual camera on front and back will be the norm for all flagships circa 2018 so I'm not the one to blame if i Suggest Blackberry by TCL stays up to date with the norms of the industry.
A killer feature for this device would be graphene batteries for Blackberry has been known historically to have a great battery life. This would mark the era of change in mobile phone blackberry technology and customers would flock to the latest and greatest device that has all these features. Agree? Any other must-have feature you think I've missed? Let the comments pour in...
PS- Also make the device water and dust proof. Its a must-have.
and also, fingerprint reader embedded in the screen, another must-have circa 2018.
