A new leak suggests HMD Global is working on another hybrid feature phone that blends a classic BlackBerry-style keyboard with a modern flip design.
Design sketches shared by reliable tipster smashx_60 reveal a compact, rounded clamshell device with a horizontal front panel and a traditional T9 numeric keypad.
The flip cover is expected to support touchscreen operation, offering a hybrid experience that combines physical keys with touch capabilities.
The device is likely to run on the lightweight RTOS Touch operating system, which supports cloud phone services.
Users can access browser-based apps for messaging, news, weather, video streaming, and other essentials without a full Android experience.
HMD has been active in the hybrid phone space.
Late last year, it launched the HMD Touch 4G, a compact touchscreen hybrid with Wi-Fi and cross-platform messaging.
On the other hand, models like the HMD 2660 Flip focus on durability, big buttons, and simple call/text functionality.
The leaked design stands out by combining a BlackBerry-like keyboard with a flip mechanism and touch support.
It could appeal to users who miss physical keyboards or seek an affordable secondary phone.
Official details such as model number, full specs, battery capacity, and pricing are not yet available. However, RTOS Touch devices typically offer great battery efficiency.
For reference, the HMD Touch 4G lasts up to 2.5 days on a 1,950mAh removable battery.
At MWC earlier this year, HMD outlined its 2026 plans to reimagine feature phones with better connectivity, AI assistance, and accessibility for the next billion users.
This mystery flip phone appears to fit that vision.
