BlackBerry was once the dominant smartphone maker on the market - but the brand has fallen far behind the likes of Samsung and Apple.

It recently switched to the Android operating system and a new Chinese manufacturing partner in an effort to recapture past glories.

Now, a new image has been leaked onto the web showing what the next phone from the BlackBerry stable could be.

It's an all-touchscreen phone that clearly drops the company's famous physical QWERTY keyboard in favour of a more compact design.

Reportedly called the BlackBerry Motion it will be a waterproof handset with a home button and a 3.5mm headphone jack - two features notably absent from Apple's high-end iPhone X handset.

According to rumours, the new BlackBerry phone will boast a battery life of up to 26 hours and will carry the full suite of security software that traditionally makes BlackBerry appealing to business users.

There's no word yet on how much it will cost, but gadget experts seem to believe the phone may be revealed as early as this month.
