Blackberry in a quest to remain visible in the evolving world of technology, is about to launch a device which will run on Google’s Android Operating System with a November release date already being bandied about.
The Blackberry “Venice” is the first of its kind and ends a long wait for many who have wondered what it would be like to host the Android OS on the solid Blackberry hardware.
Evan Nelson Blass, an American blogger, editor, and former phone leaker took to Twitter to spill the news recently saying the device will be “confirmed” for a November arrival.
the new device proposed will run an Android Operating System, OS, and will have a sliding physical keyboard and the latest photos to have hit social media confirm this.
The Venice slider blackberry phone when launched, will remind and bring back the era of slider Smartphone which had seemed long gone, with most handsets offering fairly similar fundamentals.
The product for some market is awash with slim line devices featuring large displays that take care of most functionality, but the slider aspect of it is treated as something of a renaissance under BlackBerry.
Although the device has been slightly seen in pictures in the past few weeks, it is expected to have curve edges something similar to Samsung’s Galaxy S6 edge+.
Blass in his tweet showed some new renders showcasing the device, which implies more that Google Play will be part of the package.
The Blackberry Venice slider is said to be grounded with features such as a 5.4-inch, 1440 x 2560 QHD display, Snapdragon 808 SoC and 3 GB of RAM.
With broad carrier support, apparent Android tendencies and the choice of physical or touch-based keyboards, one wouldn’t be amazed if this became a genuine success story for BlackBerry.
This builds on Blackberry very busy schedule as the company in February launched a new operating system for Blackberry 10 range of devices which is available in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific.
It remains to be seen just how well the new Venice device will be received by users.
