ZINWA

Zinwa Q25 is an Android smartphone developed by the Chinese company Zinwa Technologies in 2025. The device is a modified version of the BlackBerry Classic (2014), replacing its internals with newer components. Intended both as a completed handset and as a conversion kit for existing BlackBerry Classic devices, the Q25 retains the original BlackBerry’s 3.5-inch 720×720 touchscreen, QWERTY keyboard, trackpad and LED notification light but adds a 4G-capable MediaTek Helio G99 system on chip, 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage, a 50 MP rear camera, NFC and USB-C, and runs on Android 14. The project reflects a broader trend of retrofitting older mobile devices as a way to reduce electronic waste and to satisfy enthusiasts who prefer physical keyboards.
