BlackBerry still hasn't announced pricing info for its upcoming Android-powered smartphone, but a new leak suggests it won't be cheap.

According to Phone Arena, a tipster on the Chinese micro-blogging platform Weibo recently revealed that the upcoming BlackBerry Priv will be sold in China for 3999 Yuan, or about $630. That pricing is on par with the new iPhone, which sells for $649 unlocked.

BlackBerry did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but the company's CEO John Chen last week reportedly said the Priv would be a high-end smartphone and be priced accordingly. He also hinted that the company would offer an installment plan for those who don't have the money buy it outright.

Meanwhile, derStandard recently got its hands on what it claims is a preproduction Priv unit, and said the sliding keyboard feels "sturdy." On the downside "the little gap between keyboard and the actual body, however, tends to accumulate dust and dirt," but the display offers "vivid colors and good contrast," on par with handsets like the LG G4.

The report notes that BlackBerry has "mostly finalized" the Priv hardware, but "a lot can still change in terms of software" before the handset is released.

In terms of specs, the Priv is expected to have a 5.4-inch display sliding screen that slopes down on either side, run Android 5.1, and be powered by a Snapdragon 808. On the inside, there's a rumored 3GB of RAM, 32GB of memory, and a microSD card slot for extra space. It reportedly has an 18-megapixel main camera on the back, and a 5-megapixel shooter on the front.

BlackBerry CEO John Chen at the Code/Mobile conference on Thursday said the handset may be BlackBerry's last if the company doesn't start making some money soon. Chen said he's giving it another year to become profitable, or BlackBerry may exit the smartphone handset business altogether.
