The entry-level phone is said to feature a 3.2-inch display, a physical keyboard and a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960 processor.

The report goes on to say that the device includes a 2100 mAh removable battery and an HDMI port for hooking it up to an external display,

BlackBerry's Kopi is believed to sport a faster processor than its previous budget offering, the Q5, but lacks the 4G connectivity.
