News & Reviews:   BlackBerry Ontario review

A phone called the BlackBerry Ontario was recently spotted on the Geekbench benchmark site sporting a 2.15GHz Snapdragon 800 processor. Up until now, there has yet to be any BlackBerry phone with a quad-core processor, much less packing a new processor like the Snapdragon 800. Other tech specs and features include 2GB of RAM and BlackBerry 10.3.0.92 as the operating system. So far, the Ontario's appearance could be part of a deal BlackBerry signed with Foxconn to make lower-end BlackBerry phones and devices for the next five years. These devices are expected to retain BlackBerry's trademark physical QWERTY keypad despite the most recent BlackBerry Jakarta expected to arrive in Indonesia without a physical QWERTY keyboard. No news on Malaysia release dates or pricing but we expect the BlackBerry Ontario to appear sometime in or after Q3 of 2014.
