Blackberry has revealed its plans to launch a new touchscreen slider phone at Mobile World Congress that will come with a "dual curved display" later this year.

According to the Verge, the phone has not yet been named or priced and appears to be similar in appearance to the old Blackberry Torch.

In addition to the new slider, BlackBerry said it will launch a new Porsche Design device and another keyboard-based phone.

No further details were given for those new models.

BlackBerry also announced a new low-end touchscreen phone called the Leap which is a 5-inch, 720p slate-style smartphone with an ancient dual-core Qualcomm processor.
