BlackBerry will this year make only Android phones – All About Phones

BlackBerry 2016 comes in only Android phones on the market. This CEO John Chen told in an interview at the CES show in Las Vegas.

BlackBerry has at the end of last year the Priv marketed. This smartphone has firstly a striking design with its sliding keyboard, but he also runs on Android. This transition from BlackBerry OS to Android is perhaps the rescue of the company that in recent years was in a financial crisis.

Priv

The BlackBerry is a Priv of the most innovative smartphones last year, and that is to hold the
company. Chen says that next year all BlackBerry phones with Android will be delivered. So far the Priv has generally received positive responses.

Vienna

There are already rumors about the next BlackBerry phone. This is called the BlackBerry Vienna and runs as expected on Android and has a keyboard. The big difference with the Priv is that the keyboard is not extendable but fixed sits below the screen This is similar to the older smartphones from the manufacturer

App shortage

Before the Canadian manufacturer switched to Android, the company used its own operating system.. BlackBerry OS. This software worked fine, but was not popular. The biggest reason is the lack of apps that were available for the operating system. This is similar to Windows Phone also lags far behind in terms of apps compared to Android and iOS.

BlackBerry Crisis

Because the software not everything offered what users wanted sales declined and the company was almost declared bankrupt. John Chen was then as head of the company appointed to prevent this. Since then the company, relatively speaking goes, very well. It seems that the smartphone maker is busy again with his comeback.
