However, recent leaks on the internet leave nothing hidden about the upcoming BlackBerry smartphone. In a series of tweets recently, noted tipster Evan Blass has unveiled the looks as well as the specifications of the device. If the leaks turn out to be true, the BlackBerry Key2 will hold on to its qwerty keypad and will offer a 4.5-inch IPS LCD display on top of it.
