BlackBerry ‘Venice’ render shows front-facing speakers and curved edges
This morning, Evan Blass shared on Twitter an image of what is said to be an Android phone developed by BlackBerry. The device, referred to as ‘Venice’, seemingly has front-facing speakers and and curved edges, two features that are appearing more frequently this year. The display is also slightly lifted from the body of the device.
Looking at the screen, you will see applications that are not just BlackBerry or Google’s. There are pre-installed apps such as BBC News and Skype. These are in addition to shortcuts that allow users to quickly call or message contacts. BlackBerry has a history in enterprise and Venice seems to be skewing that way.
An upcoming device from BlackBerry, according to Blass, is allegedly heading to AT&T in the near future. This could mean that we are finally seeing BlackBerry’s take on Android after last month’s report that the company was considering the release of hardware powered by Android. The exact specifications of Venice or whatever phone AT&T will get remains unknown but we should know shortly when the devices becomes official.
