There is a new entry-level mobile phone from BlackBerry. Many rumors and leaked images has been swirling around the net for a few days. Now it is officially launched, but only available in Indonesia. In contrast to the recently introduced BlackBerry KeyOne which is produced by the Chinese TCL , the Aurora is not made by TCL. The new device is produced by BB Merah Putih, a local smartphone provider in Indonesia.

The Aurora is Blackberry’s first dual SIM mobile phone and brings up advanced entry-level hardware. These include a quad-Core Snapdragon 425 mobile processor, 4GB of RAM combined with 32GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 256GB via a microSD card as well as a 5.5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1.280 x 720 pixels.
