BlackBerry
Priv Android slider smartphone is up for pre-orders at $699 (roughly
Rs. 45,500), and is slated to begin shipping in the US starting November
6.
To recall, Priv features a 5.4-inch QHD (1440x2560 pixels)
Amoled display and sports a pixel density of 540ppi. Under the hood, it
is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor clubbed with
3GB of RAM, and supports up to 32GB of expandable storage. An
18-megapixel rear camera is at the rear while a 2-megapixel front-camera
is also on board. A massive 3410mAh battery backs the device. The
company is yet to reveal the exact Android Lollipop version of the Priv
handset.
Recently, BlackBerry's 'Productivity Edge' or
notifications on the curved edge display was spotted in a leak. An image of
Productivity Edge on the Priv showed icons for quick viewing calendar,
mails, tasks, and contacts. BlackBerry's 'Productivity Edge' looked
similar to Samsung's People Edge, which primarily allowed users to
quickly access select contacts. Samsung also included an option to light
up the edge screen when mails, messages, or calls arrive. Samsung had
also implemented Apps Edge, which let users pin apps to the edge
display.
