BlackBerry KeyOne, which was officially launched in February, will land in China in two months from now, as per a leak. Come July and the BlackBerry handset with its iconic QWERTY keyboard will be up for grabs in the Asian country.

Coming straight out of China itself, the news was leaked on Chinese microblogging site Weibo by a user who goes by the moniker @C Technology (translated). The Android phone from BlackBerry has already been released in the UK.

Accompanying the KeyOne is a mere 4.5 inch Full HD display with a QWERTY keyboard and a fingerprint scanner placed beneath the space bar of the keyboard. What is more unique about the fingerprint sensor is that it doubles up as a trackball as well.

The BlackBerry KeyOne is powered by a 2GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor paired with Adreno 506 GPU. It packs in 3GB RAM and an internal storage of 32GB, which can be expanded upto 2TB via a microSD card. Running Android 7.1.1 out of the box, the KeyOne is backed by a 3500 mAh battery. The camera on board include a 12MP rear IMX378 sensor with PDAF, 4x digital zoom, dual-tone LED flash and an 8 MP selfie snapper.

With Chinese smartphone maker TCL, which is also the global licensing partner of BlackBerry, behind the KeyOne manufacturing, it will be interesting to see the response it generates in China when released.
