BlackBerry Evolve, Evolve X India launch today: Expected features, price

BlackBerry, a Canadian smartphone brand licensed to India-based Optiemus Infracom, is launching the BlackBerry Evolve and BlackBerry Evolve X in India on Thursday i.e. August 2. Unlike the recently launched touch and type design-based smartphone, the BlackBerry Key2, both the Evolve and Evolve X would feature a touchscreen design. The company has been touting the devices to be the most secure Android smartphones, hinting at a possible update for DTEK security suite that has been an integral security software on BlackBerry smartphones.

Before the launch, the company has shared a video teaser on its social media platforms that provides a glimpse of one of the upcoming devices. However, it is certain that both the smartphones would feature same form factor and design language, and the changed would be mostly in terms of specifications. In the teaser, the phone’s metallic chassis with chamfered edges is shown, along with an all touchscreen design on the front and a six-lens camera module on the back.

One of the upcoming phones is also expected to sport dual rear camera set-up. The camera module is shown along with infrared blaster, which is used for phase detection autofocus.
