Latest BlackBerry Venice to Run on Android

When smartphones entered the world and our hearts and hands, one of the top contenders were BlackBerry. Initially tagged as the “businessman” phone, it was never revered to as a user friendly device for the common people. But when the Curve, Bold and Storm series entered the market, all conceptions were changed. BlackBerry was no longer a boring old business phone, it had class. Carrying its signature QWERTY keypad, the devices sold like hot cakes and were soon becoming an international hit.



As the times went on, so did the users and the world started noticing that the BlackBerry OS that was offered was not to their liking because there was a limited amount that people could do with their devices. This is when they turned to Android and iOS which gave them the freedom to do much more. It might have taken some time, but it looks like the company has finally given into the pressures or requests of their beloved users and it seems like they are about to present their very first android powered phone.



Rumored to be called “Venice”, this BlackBerry device can be the latest mobile phone news and a real jaw dropper if and when launched. Keeping to their signature style, the BlackBerry Venice will sport a QWERTY keypad which slides out from under a 5.4 inched QHD touchscreen display. Below the slide out keypad lies a speaker that can be seen even when the slider is pulled down. The earphone jack appears to be on the bottom right and the USB port seems to be beside that, according to the leaked pictures. There is a hexa-core Snapdragon processor that has been clocked in at 1.8 GHz. The RAM is an impressive 3GB which gives the device a smooth and hassle free user experience. For all the camera buffs out there, you will be happy to know that the BlackBerry Venice houses a really good 18 megapixel camera at the back and an equally brilliant 5 megapixel camera in front for unlimited selfie fun.




Although the news that BlackBerry is taking the android route should be exciting news, some people still seem to be asking why the phone would need two keypads (the physical and the touchscreen). We may not have the actual reason but according to leaks through the company, the touchscreen keypad should be used for light work like sending texts and browsing while the physical keypad should be used for heavier use like mailing and so on. Whatever be the reason, this could be a breakthrough in smartphone manufacturing for the almost forgotten company. We will wait patiently to see what the BlackBerry Venice brings to all of us.
