As it stands there are two upcoming BlackBerry devices that we know about. This includes the BlackBerry Z3, a handset that is destined for the Indonesian market, and the BlackBerry Q20, a BlackBerry 10 handset that will be drawing inspiration from BlackBerry 7 devices of the past with an integrated trackpad and a tool belt of physical buttons.
However in the past there have been talks that BlackBerry had a couple of new handsets in the works that were given the codenames Cafe and Kopi. While neither of these devices were formally announced, it was revealed that BlackBerry had cancelled the launch of both handsets in a bid to mitigate inventory risk.
While the BlackBerry Cafe is still remains a mystery, recent photos from Weibo have revealed additional photos of the BlackBerry Kopi. In terms of design, it appears to be slightly different in terms of its design from the BlackBerry Q10 and would resemble the BlackBerry Q5 better.
It is unclear which markets the BlackBerry Kopi might be destined for, but based on its name, we wouldn’t be surprised if it might have ended up in markets like Indonesia or Malaysia, since the word “kopi” stand for “coffee” when translated (Malaysia and Indonesia do share some similarities in their native languages).
Either way we guess the new photos are just more images of a handset that will most likely never see the light of day, unless of course BlackBerry plans on reviving both projects, but what do you guys think?
