BlackBerry's PRIV handset is getting a lot of attention, and there's a lot of reasons for that. The most obvious is that it's a slider phone — something that we haven't seen on Android for quite a while. BlackBerry was known for their slider devices and holding strong to the physical keyboard when the rest of the industry moved on, and now they're bringing that to Android in a secure package that seems to be more than half-decent. Many won't bat an eye at this phone, but there are others who might notice some of its unique features.
To highlight those features and hopefully catch those potential customers, BlackBerry has uploaded a video demonstrating what the PRIV has to offer: it's physical keyboard, BlackBerry Hub, Pop-up widgets, its curved 5.4-inch screen, and more:
The PRIV is also bringing a lot to the table for those more interested in getting great specifications. The phone has a 5.4-inch, 2560 x 1440 resolution AMOLED display at 540ppi, a Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor, 3 GB RAM, and 32 GB of expandable storage. You'll find an 18-megapixel rear camera, a 2-megapixel front camera, dual-LED flash, and a 3,410 mAh battery. Sadly, though, it looks like the phone is going to launch with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
You can pre-order your BlackBerry Priv from the company's website.
