The new Blackberry Priv is BlackBerry's first Android
phone. That means you get BlackBerry's best productivity features, like
BlackBerry Hub and Blend, and supreme security, plus access to around 1.5
million Android apps. Not only do you get more apps than ever, Android also
gives you the flexibility to personalise everything about your device.

The BlackBerry Priv's best feature is probably its
slide out keyboard. This is complemented by a 5.4-inch screen coated in Corning
Gorilla Glass 4, it has a relatively high pixel density paired with a 1440p
resolution, leaving text sharp and crisp and images looking attractive. The
device also features the signature professional BlackBerry styling.
The Priv also has a curved display. The phone's
sliding mechanism means the screen doesn't wrap around quite as completely as
Samsung's Galaxy S6 Edge+, and it isn't as useful. Samsung's curved displays
let you store app shortcuts, or serve up notifications, or keep tabs on missed
calls. The Priv's curved sides host a fairly mundane productivity app and a
little battery status indicator when you're charging the device.
The phone offers NFC connectivity for file sharing or
shopping with Android Pay, and there's a single micro USB 2.0 connector at the
bottom that's SlimPort enabled - with the right adapters, you can get HDMI, DVI
and DisplayPort connectivity, as well as the ability to output 4K video at 30
frames per second.
The Priv is equipped with an 18-megapixel camera
engineered by German lens manufacturer Schneider-Kreuznach. Features like phase
detect autofocus mean you'll have a better shot at capturing the action, and
the dual colour LED flash promises to brighten up your shots without casting an
unsightly blue or yellow haze on your images.
Blackberry specs the phone with powerful processors.
The Priv is powered by a 64-bit, Snapdragon 808 hexa-core system-on-chip (SoC).
There's a dual-core 1.8GHz CPU that the phone will tap for high-intensity
tasks, and a 1.44GHz quad-core CPU that'll be slower, but more energy
efficient, for general phone use.
The Priv is the phone BlackBerry fans have been
waiting for. It has BlackBerry's security, a physical keyboard paired with a
spacious, beautiful screen, and access to Android apps. If you're an Android
fan who likes a nicely designed smartphone that is a true alternative to
Samsung, LG or even Apple, then this could be the phone for you.
