https://youtu.be/rPT7k4ypybc

After a huge amount of rumors about the possible launch of a BlackBerry with Android operating system, this week Jhon Chen, the head of the Canadian firm confirmed the launch of this smartphone showing it in his own hands, in a video that has spread like wildfire through the network of networks and that you can see at the top of this article.

La BlackBerry Priv, which is how this mobile device is definitely called, after we had known it as BlackBerry Venice for a long time, it is raising great expectations and it is that BlackBerry physical keyboards and the security and privacy they offer in their terminals continues to call the attention of a huge number of users.

Unfortunately and at the moment we still need to know a lot of information about this device, but today we have decided to bring together everything we already know in this article, which we hope you will find interesting and above all useful.

Before starting this review of everything we already know about the BlackBerry Priv, remember that for now no exact date is known for the official presentation of this device and market launch, although Jhon Chen himself has already confirmed that it will be available worldwide before the end of the year. We also do not know the price, although we already imagine that we will not be facing an economic smartphone.

Features and specifications of the BlackBerry Priv

Next we are going to review the main features and specifications that we already know of this BackBerry Priv. Most of them have been confirmed by the Canadian firm in one way or another, although to be able to speak that they are official we will have to wait for them to be confirmed by BlackBerry.

  • Display: 5,4 inches with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels
  • Processor: Snapdragon 808 1,8 GHz
  • RAM memory: 3 GB
  • Internal storage: 32 GB expandable via microSD cards
  • Camera: 18 megapixel rear and 5 megapixel front
  • Battery: 3.850 mAh
  • Operating system: Android 5.0 Lollipop

These are the main characteristics and specifications that we know at the moment and although we still need to know some fundamentals such as those related to connectivity or its weight, but without a doubt we would already be facing a terminal that we could place within the so-called high-end of the mobile phone market.

Integrated

One of the strengths of this BlackBerry Priv will undoubtedly be the design and is that its curved screen, its sliding keyboard and in general a very careful design will be the hallmarks of this terminal, which will make it unique in the market.

Based on what is seen in the video where Jhon Chen shows us the terminal and the official images that the Canadian company has published in the last hours, we can get an idea that it will be a very peculiar smartphone made of premium materials. Of course, and once again, the color of this BlackBerry Priv will be the characteristic black of BlackBerry.

In these two official images, which are the only ones published by BlackBerry, we cannot see the back of the terminal where the camera with double flash will be placed. This rear part looks like it will be made of a material similar to carbon fiber or Kevlar.

In the upper part of the device that we cannot see in these images will be the slot to insert the SIM card and also another slot to incorporate a microSD card, which will undoubtedly be great news to be able to expand the storage space of the terminal in a simple and especially very cheap way.

Screen, following the path of other manufacturers

The screen will be another of the strengths of this BlackBerry Priv and is that with some dimensions of 5,4 inches, it will try to imitate or even exceed the one mounted on the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge. Like the terminal screen of the South Korean company, it will be curved on its sides, although we do not know for the moment if they will have any function or will simply be "decorative."

To check the quality of the screen, we fear that we will only have to wait for this new BlackBerry to hit the market and we can analyze and squeeze it into our hands.

The camera

BlackBerry

At the moment we do not know any official information about the cameras of this new BlackBerry Priv, although according to all rumors they will be at the level of the best devices on the market.

As we have learned, the rear camera will have a 18 megapixel lens with image stabilizer, OIS.

BlackBerry Venice

As for the rear camera, there are more doubts, although everything indicates that it will mount a 5 megapixel lens.

Regarding the cameras, we can only say that we hope they really are up to the task and are not of a quality similar to those of the Blackberry Z10 or the BlackBerry Q10, which left a lot to be desired.

Price and launch of the BlackBerry Priv

As we already told you before at the moment BlackBerry has not confirmed an official date for the market launch of this new BlackBerry, although they have confirmed that it will be available worldwide before the end of this year. Unfortunately we do not know if they will hold an event to make the BlackBerry Priv official and if it is official after the small presentation carried out by Jhon Chen.

The price of this new smartphone is another of the great unknowns and it is that many rumors suggest that It will not be an inexpensive mobile device and it will be above 600 euros. However, some experts point out that it could have a price below those barrier of 600 euros to become a more than interesting option for many users.

Luckily soon we will get rid of doubts and we fear that very soon BlackBerry will make the new BlackBerry Priv official, and in addition to revealing its main specifications, it will also reveal its price.

Final assessment and opinion

This new BlackBerry Priv is raising great expectations and its design promises. Of course the specifications seem to finally be at the level of a high-end device. The Canadian firm has been launching terminals on the market for too long, far removed from the high-end and also from the mid-range.

In addition, the operating system of this new BlackBerry, which will be Android 5.0, is undoubtedly a great bet on the part of the firm led by Jhon Chen and a approach to the needs of the majority of users.

We do not know the price with which this new smartphone will hit the market, but hopefully its price does not skyrocket and exceed 600 or 700 euros, because if it has an attractive price I think without a doubt that it would become one of the best-selling mobile devices from the rest of 2015 and next year.

What do you think of this new BlackBerry Priv and what price do you think it could have?. You can give us your opinion in the space reserved for comments on this post or through any of the social networks in which we are present.
