No name yet: Blackberry during the on going Mobile World Congress unveiled its new slide design phone with curved edges.

 Good news to all BlackBerry fans,Yesterday during a press conference at Mobile World Congress, BlackBerry revealed that it plans to launch a new touchscreen slider device later this year.

The new phone doesn't have a name, price, or exact release date, but it has what BlackBerry calls a "dual curved display" that appears similar to that of Samsung's new Galaxy S6 Edge. It's similar in appearance to the old BlackBerry Torch.

In addition to the new slider, BlackBerry says it will launch a new Porsche Design device and another keyboard-based phone. No further details were given for those new models.

BlackBerry also announced a new low-end touchscreen phone today, called the Leap pictured above. The Leap is a 5-inch, 720p slate-style smartphone with an ancient dual-core Qualcomm processor. It has roughly the same specs as the Galaxy S4 or HTC One X from two years ago. It will sell for around $275 and will first go on sale in emerging markets such as Brazil and Indonesia.
