BlackBerry Rio towards a launch in April
The new smartphone without physical keyboard would be planned in BlackBerry could also be announced at MWC.
BlackBerry has the intention to launch a new smartphone without physical keyboard in the coming months. This is certainly a rumor running for some time and that has been reinforced by the appearance of a document listing the compatible accessories for smartphones called “Rio”.
N4BB the site that published this list of accessories, also contacted the features that would be available this BlackBerry Rio. It has a 5-inch HD screen with a resolution of 1280 x 780 pixels and a dual core processor MSM 8960 1.5GHz accompanied by 2 GB RAM and a memory 16 GB (expandable via a MicroSD port). Connectivity side, we should find the 4G, Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.0, DLNA and Miracast. The BlackBerry Rio embarks a camera of 8 megapixel rear and another 2 megapixel front. It would have also a battery of 2800 mAh non-removable. As for its price, it should be around $ 300.
A smartphone reserved for Brazil?
As we said late 2014, BlackBerry Rio could bear the official name of Z20. We could also compare the BlackBerry Z3 launched in early 2014. This smartphone, which was codenamed Jakarta before formalization, was produced by Foxconn and marketed initially in Indonesia before being reserved for emerging markets. The BlackBerry Rio could then be booking a similar fate, and judging by its code name, and could be marketed initially in the Brazilian market.
The output of this Z20 prove in this case that despite the arrival of John Chen in command of the Canadian manufacturer and its commitment to the physical keyboard at the heart of the manufacturer’s business strategy, BlackBerry would not have so far put aside models called “all-touch”.

Kodak IM5 Android smartphone coming in March April the price
Kodak IM5 the first Android smartphone of the famous company will hit markets in late March or early April of this year; hardware specifications and the European price.
I already knew something of the first smartphone with Android mobile operating system of Kodak, the famous brand that many will know for machines and photographic prints; Kodak IM5, so you call the new mobile devices, will be available for sale in Europe and other continents as of the end of March or the beginning of April of this year at a price that Britain is about 189 pounds or 255 Euro (price may vary however from country to country).
Kodak IM5 is built under license in Bullitt; a company specialized in making various solid and rugged mobile devices, is a smartphone running Android 4.4.x KitKat with custom interface from the same Kodak and is positioned in the market average.
Kodak IM5 shows an IPS display 5 inches diagonally with 1280 x 720 pixels (294 PPI), a chipset Octa-core built by Mediatek operating at maximum frequency of 1.7 GHz, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of memory internal expandable with microSD.
Multimedia provides a 13-megapixel rear camera with autofocus and LED flash, a front chamber 5 megapixel dedicated to video calls, video and Selfie; from the point of view of connectivity seems that the phone still works with the 3G connection and not 4G, has Bluetooth 4.0, Wifi b / g / n, GPS and USB 2.0 port.
The software as we told you will use as the basis KitKat Android 4.4 but will be customized by the same Kodak with a proprietary interface and a store with dedicated applications; smartphone in particular will be able to take pictures, save, share and print wirelessly; a specific software was developed then to make the most of the sensor 13-megapixel rear camera.
Considering that the price in the UK because of the pound is higher, we think that in our country you can find the product list price of about 240-250 euro; We’ll see if it will be worth the purchase because in this price competition is high.
