It is already a known fact that Blackberry will be unveiling their last phone, the Blackberry Mercury at the MWC 2017. At the same time itself, TCL, the parent company of Blackberry will reveal the full name of the product, but for now, it will be Blackberry Mercury. 

And here's another leak about the phone itself coming from the tipster, Roland Quandt. But, this time he is suggesting about the camera technology used in the upcoming Blackberry phone. The phone will get the same hardware used in the Google's Pixel phones, who are currently the leading the market in terms of camera.

The Blackberry Mercury will use the same 12.3MP Sony IMX378 sensor on the rear, which can produce some good looking shots. At the front of the phone, there will be the Samsung's S5K4H8 sensor with a megapixel count of 8MP.
