BlackBerry Venice, 5.4-inch Android phone available soon?

Popular tipster @evleaks has released some fresh news for the supposed Android-powered BlackBerry device that made some buzz on the Internet last month. The device will reportedly be called Venice and could feature a physical QWERTY keyboard that slides out — pretty much like what was previously reported.

I’m very interested.
Sana below 20k lang price to.

Naka SE Xperia Pro ako for 3 years now. Never pa nasira yung keyboard nya pero mabagal na sya.

Need a new Android with a physical keypad.

Sliding physical keyboard that will easily break combined with an expensive flex replacement 2-3 times a year? No thanks!

Actually I’m not after with the device but rather on the os itself. I bought my BlackBerry not because of the hardware but because of the os itself.

physical qwerty and on screen keyboard at the same time? very counter-productive. i’m going to go with fake on this one.

is it QHD or qHD? a snapdragon 808 seems overkill for a 540p screen

Looks good. The sliding keybord? Hmmm not very excited about that.
But its android base OS. Which makes it sound interesting.
Specs are all good.
Lets see the price…
