Priv: BlackBerry’s first Android phone

BlackBerry Priv

For years, BlackBerry has struggled to make its BlackBerry 10 phone software a viable alternative to Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android. While the company isn’t giving up on BlackBerry 10, it’s also hedged its bets with its first Android phone.

The new Priv has a physical keyboard, a rarity on Android phones these days. It looks like any other phone until you slide the keyboard out from the bottom, like a desk drawer. It’s an engineering feat given that the phone still feels thin, although it’s thicker than Samsung’s flagship phones and the iPhone. IBNlive
