The BlackBerry Priv

Hello Tekkies! Manila, Philippines -- Last December 3, 2015, the most awaited smartphone brand has launched its very first android based operating system to answer the issue when it comes to app gaps, and that is BlackBerry. The world leader when it comes to mobile security and communication has launched their very first Android OS smartphone called the BlackBerry Priv, which stands for Privacy and Privilege. We all know that having a good security and privacy online is really a great privilege specially that not a lot of people are focusing on their privacy when it comes to online transactions and communication.

The BlackBerry Priv is not just like any ordinary smartphone, it packs a curved AMOLED screen and has a sliding physical keyboard, that screams the trademark of BlackBerry. The Capacitive Touch keyboard of the BlackBerry Priv compliments the Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection of its screen, which is also full touch. It runs on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and not just an android runtime so you can ensure the power of BlackBerry and Google in just one device. It has a Dual-core 1.8 CPU complimented with an Adreno 418 GPU for its intense graphics. This 5.4 inch beast is boasting with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Its camera, an 18 MP, 4896 x 3672 pixels, Schneider-Kreuznach optics, optical image stabilization, phase detection autofocus, dual-LED (dual tone) flash, and a 2MP snapper upfront. It also boats an outstanding 3410 mAh of battery that will last you more than a day.

The overall experience with the BlackBerry Priv can be compared to the Samsung Galaxy Edge which is so fluid, the graphics are quite amazing specially if you are playing some graphic hungry applications.

According the the Communications Head of BlackBerry Singapore - Matt Stewart, the Priv will be available in the Philippines thru their official carrier in the Philippines, MemoXpress by mid-December for a price of 45,000 pesos -- a price which is a bit high for the brand, but in accordance to the privacy and security that BlackBerry is providing to our mobile experience, I believe it really suits it well.
