Blackberry has an event planned for June 7. — AFP Relaxnews

The Blackberry Key2 was supposed to first be introduced to the world on June 7. However, a well-known industry leaker has tweeted some very revealing press images.

The Canadian tech firm has already teased a few features and design aspects of its "icon reborn" via YouTube on May 24, however not nearly as much as what can be seen in the latest leak.

The images tweeted by Evan Blass (@evleaks) on June 4 appear to leave no side unexposed.

In the pictures, it appears that the Blackberry Key2 resembles its predecessor, the KEYone, in appearance, sporting the trademark Blackberry keyboard.

There are a few modern tweaks, including a new dual camera setup, which was already confirmed in the teaser. There's also a mysterious button on the bottom-right that was highlighted – possibly a shortcut key, maybe an app launcher.

Along the edge of the new flagship are three buttons, one likely for the volume, another for power and the third could be The Convenience Key, as seen on the original model. This would mean that this version would not have any buttons on the left edge.

Speculations by tech blog Android Police suggest that the Blackberry Key2 will ship with a Snapdragon 660 chipset and 6GB of RAM.

More will be revealed in just a matter of days, when all the Blackberry Key2 specs are officially announced at an event in New York, June 7.
