Renders have appeared online of what appears to be BlackBerry’s second Android device. The device has a physical keyboard under the screen, while the display itself seems to have an unusual 3:2 ratio.

The keyboard has four lines on the renders that Crackberry has put online, just like that of the Priv. The BlackBerry fan site concludes that it may have the same format as the Priv. If so, this device measures around 14.8×7.7cm, and the screen measures around 4.7″ and has a 3:2 ratio in the images, which is unusual for smartphones. The Priv has a 16:9 screen, last year’s Passport a 1:1 screen.

The Vienna, as the device’s code name is, has physical buttons for controlling Android. The Priv has buttons on its 5.4″ screen. The back of the Vienna resembles the renders made of different materials, at least one of which has a woven structure.

Crackberry warns that details may change before release. It is unclear when the Canadian smartphone maker would like to release its second Android device. The Priv comes out this month and runs a modified version of Android 5.1, to which BlackBerry has added its own Hub, search function, Messenger and security app Dtek.
