What are claimed to be the first pictures of struggling Canadian phonemaker Blackberry’s first Android phone have been published on Twitter by longtime leaker Evan Blass.

The picture doesn’t show the full casing of the phone, but viewers can see what appears to be a BlackBerry physical keyboard alongside an onscreen keyboard.

“The smartphone strongly resembles the BlackBerry Passport, suggesting that it might feature similar specs. If so, expect the same square 4.5in HD screen, Snapdragon 801 chip and 13MP camera,” according to one report.

The phone will reportedly arrive running Android 5.0 Lollipop.

According to Blass, it will be accompanied by another Android model, the Blackberry Venice. Due in November, this will feature a 5.4in screen with QHD 2560 by1440 resolution, and a slide-out qwerty keyboard, he claims.
