Its presence at MWC was expected prior to this announcement, but no exact date was available.
The phone is being manufactured by China’s TCL. Early impressions of the unit’s hardware based on a prefinal version at CES were positive.
The BlackBerry Mercury also includes USB Type-C and a fingerprint sensor for biometric security.
