Sometimes it takes a mountain of hints to get the point
across. Whether we’re talking about a failing and detestable fashion trend like
low waist jeans, or obvious technological failures such as a line of expensive
BlackBerry handsets. Yes, according to the latest handheld news, BlackBerry has finally officially announced that its
Android handset is set to release soon. Rumors were circulating since months regarding
BlackBerry’s openness to switching its OS from BlackBerry to Android, a more
varied and accepted platform.
Yes, among some of the tech world’s worst kept secrets is
BlackBerry’s upcoming Android device. After months of speculation, BlackBerry’s
new Android phone will be called BlackBerry Priv. At a recent event, the phone
was officially given a first look to onlookers. This phone surely sports the latest mobile specifications, as was
evident from the details released according to its specification sheet.
One of the most talked about features in the Priv device is
undoubtedly its sliding QWERTY keypad, along with which the device also
supports capacitative touch for scrolling through the page, ensuring that
BlackBerry’s iconic scroll pad carries on its failing legacy.
The BlackBerry Priv comes with specifications such as a
large 5.5 inch qHD display which works as smooth as ever. Taking a cue from
Samsung’s own Galaxy series, similar to the S6 Edge, the screen of the Priv
comes as a curved one, which ever so slightly curves into the side, although it
doesn’t showcase notifications separately like the Galaxy Edge does. Thus, the
screen extension is more a matter of grace and aesthetics than utility.
Under the hood of the
Priv comes a strong hexa core Snapdragon 808 chipset. Besides this, the handset
also comes with a 3 GB RAM, a super strong 18 MP main camera and a 5 MP front
camera. Hence, it is clear that BlackBerry wishes to make a worthy comeback into
handheld news as it has managed to
make sure that its latest Priv device is aimed at all those people that
resisted buying a BlackBerry smartphone merely because of its restricted
software, which doesn’t come anywhere close to the options that Android has to
offer.
The slider smartphone is BlackBerry’s latest attempt to get
back into the smartphone game. Opinion is divided regarding people’s preference
of touch screen and physical keypads, which is why BlackBerry is trying to
offer its customers both, with the added benefit of Android software. BlackBerry
realized that the only way to deal with the problem of its restricted and
limited app offerings was by giving up its software and switching to Android
instead. Today, Android has the highest number of users in the world and by
adopting this super friendly and varied platform, BlackBerry is surely moving
in the right direction. Hence, a great combination of the latest mobile specifications, coupled with the options given by
Android, let’s hope BlackBerry’s fortunes finally turn around and it manages to
regain the undisputed glory that it once enjoyed just a few years ago.
