Meanwhile, the announcement of the BlackBerry Mercury couldn't have come at a better time as the company has hit a zero percent market share in the fourth quarter of 2016 according to a report by Express.

The company was able to ship 207,000 units during the said financial quarter; however that is less than half of the units sold by its competitors.

A spokesperson for BlackBerry cited that their current strategy focuses on providing state-of-the-art software for enterprise and devices. The company also added that they have shifted away from hardware and toward a licensing model where partners develop hardware and distribute the BlackBerry name.

The BlackBerry Mercury has a new industrial design that goes with the aluminum unibody with its traditional physical keyboard. However, users may now swipe over the keyboard to interact with items on display much like a touchscreen, which means users may scroll down web pages or emails by swiping across the keyboard.

The keyboard's spacebar also acts as a fingerprint scanner to unlock the device. The device will sport a 4.5-inch multi-touch screen display with a respectable 1920x1080 resolution. It's powered by the Snapdragon 625 with 3GB of RAM and packs in a 3,200mAh battery with USB type C.

The device will run the Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box.
