Lilbits: Zinwa’s Android-powered BlackBerry Key2 clone, Razer’s laptop sleeve with wireless charging, and Android 17 Beta 2

A small Chinese team called Zinwa have been making modern BlackBerry-style smartphones in small batches for a little while… first by literally stuffing the actual shells of old BlackBerry phones with modern motherboards running Android software, and more recently by developing new phones with designs that are heavily influenced by BlackBerry.

Zinwa is designing a modern Android phone with a MediaTek Dimensity 9300 processor and a body inspired by the BlackBery Key2, complete with a nearly identical thumb keyboard. But expect smaller bezels for a more compact design. #Zinwa #BlackBerry #BlackBerryKey2

I'm really flustered. My actual #smartphone is a #BlackberryKey2 purchased in 2019. It runs on Android and it has a #physicalkeyboard. This feature, combined with its reasonable dimensions, allows me to do simple things like writing short messages or navigating apps with one hand.
