Leaked photo suggests BlackBerry Key 2 will get a Lite version

BlackBerry Key 2 recently launched in Canada and most major markets but it seems we might be getting a newer version of the device in the future—if the leaked photos are to be believed, that is. Evan Blass (a.k.a. @evleaks) just showed a photo of what’s being called the Lite version of the aforementioned device. It’ll be made of plastic and will supposedly come in Red, Blue, and Copper. As GSMArena points out, the new colors might be seen along the rim and the front surrounding the display and its QWERTY keyboard.

The phone is codenamed BlackBerry Luna and is said to be a lower-tier version of the phone. It won’t be called a Mini because it’ll have the same size as the Key 2. But it’ll reportedly keep the Convenience key on the side and below the Volume and Power keys.

Mark Millar

Just to refresh your brain a bit. Netflix bought Mark Millar’s company, Millarworld, to start developing original content with Mark and Lucy Millar for the streaming service. The first thing out of the gate was the comic book The Magic Order, which was Netflix’s first foray into comics and the biggest selling new comic-book franchise in over two decades. Now, we’re getting a couple of new series and three upcoming films to look forward to. The two shows include Jupiter’s Legacy from Steven S. DeKnight and a multilingual version of American Jesus. And the films include Empress, which will be written by Lindsey Beer; Huck, which will be written by Ted Melfi; and Sharkey The Bounty Hunter, which will be written by Michael Bacall.

Netflix makes browsing for content on TVs much easier

Netflix is introducing a new user interface for TVs to make the browsing experience less of a pain. The new UI, the streaming service says, is a result of “rigorous research and testing” to make sure you have the easiest time looking for titles you might want to watch without being limited by the few buttons on your remote control. According to Netflix, it’s now easier to look for new content on the service as well as to search for either TV shows or movies. The streaming service reasons that “while a member generally isn’t sure what exact title to watch, they have a pretty good sense of whether they are in the mood for a quick series episode or a longer movie experience.” It’s also now easier to access My List and get to the shows or movies you’ve saved there.
