Days ago we commented that Blackberry Priv has caused a great stir with its appearance and even more so when John Chen, CEO of BlackBerry, came out to tell the media that if the product fails or does not meet expected expectations; they expect to sell 5 million units; The company will exit the telephony market, dedicating itself to the development of security software and business services.
In anticipation of the demand for the BlackBerry Priv, the company launched a new section on its official site that serves as a pre-registration to receive information about the product and will even send you an alert as soon as the device is available in shopping stores.
On the same website, technical characteristics are revealed that are still available. They did not know:
Your physical keyboard called SmartSlide will not be mandatory, you can also use the classic digital keyboard as on any Andorid device. It will have a 3,410 mAh battery, which will surely make it one of the smartphones with the greatest autonomy. Its 5.43-inch double curved screen (2560x1440px), 32 GB of storage expandable to 2 TB, was also confirmed. Regarding performance, it will be on par with its competitors, it will have a Snapdragon 808 processor and 3 GB of RAM.
So far so good, but what about the camera?
Gentlemen, BlackBerry is really out to compete, the Priv's main camera will be 18 Megapixels, will be able to record videos in 4K, and will include an optical stabilizer. Its lens, a powerful Schneider-Kreuznach. The 2 Megapixel secondary camera and the panorama function for selfies included.
Approximate weight 192 grams and measurements of 147 x 77.2 x 9.4 mm respectively.

Price? Delivery date?
The estimated delivery date is November 16th and the estimated price is US$750 in the USA.
Conclusion
Blackberry Priv has been designed with excellent technology, all compacted into an ultra-thin, ergonomic device, and perhaps most strikingly, with a slide-out physical keyboard.
A very good purchase option. Personally, I hope the company doesn't go crazy with the prices. It would be a great alternative to see BlackBerry compete again with companies that dominate the Android smartphone market, like Samsung and LG, and why not, perhaps even challenge Apple, despite having a different operating system on its devices.
The resurgence of a diminished giant is near, and I want to see it! What about you?
