In a statement released shortly before the
end of 2015, CEO John Chen BlackBerry has hinted that the company could launch
a second Android phone in 2016. While he said that the focus would be directed
more towards the high end, not exactly ruled out the possibility that the
device may be mid-range, everything will depend on the response of consumers to
the Blackberry Priv, the first Android phone to BB on sale a few months ago.
"It depends on Priv. If Priv is well received in the market and it seems
that it is. There's a good chance [...] that we will focus more on the high end
in 2016," Chen said in a recent interview with Bloomberg released last
year Qaunto we will have to wait but 'we do not know. Meanwhile, at the CES
2016 in Las Vegas, the same Chen said the company plans to release a new
product this year, and, potentially, a second phone that will surely be
Android, which have leaked the first leaks.
Just a few days after Blackberry Priv has
become officially available for sale, but are 'started to leak rumors about
Blackberry Vienna, the alleged second Android smartphone coming from the
Canadian company. The site CrackBerry shared images of what he says to be the
'Vienna', a second Android device always with a physical keyboard. The company
has never denied having a range of products still under preparation to be
launched after the release of Priv, Vienna and this could be one of them.
'Vienna' still do not know if it's the code
name or trade name will also be the smartphone, as opposed to Priv that has a
sliding keyboard is shown with a physical keyboard fixed, always present in the
display - to tell the truth this Blackberry Vienna always in effect a classic
Blackberry smartphone, only the 'heart' is the Android platform.
The keyboard is very similar to that present
on the Priv, only which is not hidden by a sliding mechanism.
Additional components of the BlackBerry
Vienna there are at the moment, and we do not know when BB could launch this
smartphone, at what price and its specifications in detail.
In the photo we see the alleged Blackberry
Vienna in four colors: silver, navy blue, gray / black and dark red.
On the back you can see a camera with flash,
while there is also a camera pointed at the front and physical navigation
buttons just below the display, in a narrow strip between the display and
keyboard. Other physical buttons are the volume rocker on the right side and
the power button on the left side.
Blackberry Priv is the first Android phone
from Blackberry, a product placed on the market at a price of 849 Euros.
