The results that have been known regarding the operation in the market of BlackBerry Priv, the first model of this company with an Android operating system, they have been quite good. Therefore, there is optimism in the manufacturer. So much so, that as has been discussed next year a new terminal will be launched with this development inside.
The truth is that it has been known that the BlackBerry Priv premiums have been sold quickly 700.000 manufactured units, so it seems that users have welcomed the arrival of the terminal and, by extension, the application ecosystem own that it includes (and, especially, the possibility of getting new ones in the Play Store). Therefore, it is logical that the bet continues.
The fact is that the confirmation of the work in a new models of BlackBerry with Android operating system has come from a person who knows very well what this company does: its CEO, John Chen. Thus, and according to what he has commented, for the year 2016 We will have this manufacturer's second commitment to the Google operating system. And from what it seems, it will be a device that will arrive to strengthen the presence in this segment, not to replace the one that is already known (as we already indicated in Android Ayuda).
BlackBerry mid-range
This is what the new model of the Canadian company points out, since what has been said about the new terminal that would arrive in the middle of next year - at the latest -, is that the bet would be to offer somewhat more modest characteristics than BlackBerry Priv and, at the same time, a more contained price. His codename, by the way, is Vienna.
And what can the new Android device offer? Well then we leave a small listing with what until now it has been possible to know from the different information that has been appearing:
-
Eight-core Exynos processor
-
2 GB of RAM
-
GPU Mali-T760
-
16 megapixel main camera and 5 megapixel front camera
-
Storage of 32 GB
And, all this, ruled by Android 5.1.1, without news of when Marshmallow could arrive customized by BlackBerry neither the new model we are talking about nor the existing one. The fact is that it seems that Canadians, although very late, have found an option to stay in the market. And this is none other than the development of Google.
