This flagship is currently available only in silver, but a Chinese website has just unveiled the unconfirmed information that a Black Edition is ready to launch locally on August 8.
Also known as BlackBerry Mercury, the KEYOne handset was announced back in February and became available in April. Only available in black with silver accents so far, this handset will get a special all-black edition in China next month.
According to a listing that surfaced on the website of Chinese carrier Berry Link, the BlackBerry KEYOne Black Edition is set to hit the local market on August 8, carrying a price tag of around $622 USD. Leaving the color aside, the specs and features should remain the same - a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, 4.5-inch display with 1,080X1,620 pixels, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB storage, 8 MP and 12 MP cameras, a 3,505 mAh battery, all with Android 7.1 Nougat on top.
These being said, remains to get an official confirmation of this launch. It is not clear if the KEYOne Black Edition would become available outside China or not, but we will get back to it as soon as we find out.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
