The rumour mill has gone quiet around the Blackberry Venice, the rumoured smartphone from Blackberry that is going to be running Android rather than Blackberry’s native operating system. Thankfully, it starts up again today as new renders of the device have surfaced, showing us a little more about just how Android the device is going to be. From the images, we see a Material Design inspired email and social hub, as well as a sneak peek at the phone’s 18MP rear camera and a final image that shows that the Blackberry Venice will have Chromecast support for various apps, presumably showing YouTube as an example. Check out the renders below:
So far, what we know about the device is that it probably runs Android Lollipop and that it’s going to have a slide out keyboard. This latest information seems to suggest that the Blackberry Venice, unlike other devices that have adopted Android and forked their version for their own purposes, could have an Android experience that is closer to what we’d expect from an average Android device. Of course, all of this is speculation and Blackberry is yet to confirm that it’s even considering Android, so we’ll just have to wait this one out till some more news drops.
