Blackberry Aurora is the first of it kind smartphone from Blackberry, the device is the first black phone to feature a dual SIM slot.

It's a good thing to note that blackberry is waking up to join the evolving technology world, haven't release their first Android device and now Blackberry Aurora with dual SIM support , apart from this feature it also comes with a quad core Qualcomm processor, 13MP rear shooter, 4GB RAM and 4G LTE network for super fast downloading speed.


Design and Display

It is slim with a body dimension of 152 x 76.8 x 8.5 mm and weighs 178grams.

The BB Aurora sport a 5.5-inches IPS LCD capacitive HD display with a screen resolution measured at 1280*720p and screen sharpness at 267PPI density. It supports multi-touch functions.

This is a welcome development. Blackberry has remained the most business-friendly phone of all time. I've been patronising then for close to a decade now without regrets. I'm currently using their passport(silver edition) which I bought o'er a year ago. The quality, versatility and messaging channels remain unmatched. If all what you're looking for is selfie, you've got no reason buying BlackBerry. But if all what you intend to achieve is business effectiveness and efficiency, simply go for BlackBerry.

Re: Blackberry Aurora Spec : First Blackberry Phone With Dual SIM Slot by charlesucheh(m): 8:26am On Mar 15, 2017
And they Even have the guts to leave the price at 80k - 100 when we all know there's nothing unique about its features! I can as well get a techno of infinix phone with the same spec or even higher at a much lower price.

Blackberry does not compromise on security and camera. Plus it spots the latest android Os. If money enter me hand, definitely getting this,

It's quite disappointing that this auroral does not come with a keypad. I love blackberry keypads.

The one that was released before this that has keypad is just too expensive at more than 600dollars. If this hits the Nigerian market, I wouldn't mind going for it anyways, I'm so cool with the specs,its just the keypad that is a drawback.

Re: Blackberry Aurora Spec : First Blackberry Phone With Dual SIM Slot by Nobody: 10:03am On Mar 15, 2017
These idiots havent learnt their lesson, the phone is still outdated when other brands were offereing dual sim years ago, they had better learn to make affordable phones cos no one will cough out N100,000= for a phone having same specs with infinix hot 2.

Blackberry is always coming late to the party.

They were the last to embrace touchscreen technology.

They were the last major phone manufacturers to recognise that Android is better than their useless outdated Blackberry OS.

And now they are the last to finally introduce dual sim.

Always bringing up the rear. That's why the mobile phone market dumped your sorry asses.

their problem is Ego and pride
