The Return of the BlackBerry Classic: A Modern Twist
It seems the iconic BlackBerry Classic is making a comeback, but with a fresh spin. A Chinese company named Zinwa Technologies, known for its focus on QWERTY devices, has taken the classic BlackBerry Q20 and revamped it with modern technology and Android 13. This new device is called the Zinwa Q25 Pro.
What's New in the Zinwa Q25 Pro?
The Zinwa Q25 Pro features an upgraded main board that houses a MediaTek Helio G99 processor. It also comes equipped with an impressive 12GB of RAM and offers up to 256GB of internal storage. Photography enthusiasts will appreciate its 50MP rear camera and an 8MP front-facing camera for selfies or video calls. Additionally, this phone includes a robust 3,000mAh battery along with USB-C connectivity for faster charging and data transfer.
A Nostalgic Experience
Eric Migicovsky, founder of Pebble and originally from Vancouver, recently shared his excitement about the new device on social media. He posted a picture of the Q25 Pro along with some enthusiastic comments about how great it feels to use.
“This is so cool! Someone created an Android mainboard replacement for the Q20,” he tweeted. “It fits perfectly inside the existing phone while using the same display but upgrades both camera quality and switches to USB-C.” He added that holding this updated version brings back fond memories: “The soft-touch back feels amazing!”
Pricing Options
If you're interested in getting your hands on this nostalgic yet modern device, you can purchase the Zinwa Q25 Pro outright for $420 USD (approximately $580 CAD). For those who still own a BlackBerry Q20 but want to upgrade their experience without buying a new phone entirely, there's also a mod kit available for $320 USD (around $440 CAD). This kit allows users to add these modern components directly into their existing devices.
