About two months ago, BlackBerry announced its first Android smartphone, the BlackBerry Priv. It was well received at launch, but unfortunately only available on AT&T in the United States or unlocked from BlackBerry. Today, the company has confirmed that all major US carriers will soon be offering its new flagship smartphone.
In November, the BlackBerry Priv made its debut, a brand new curved flagship smartphone set to restore BlackBerry to its former glory. T-Mobile earlier today approved It was due to hit the shelves on January 26, but BlackBerry has shared a lot more details for potential buyers.
With popular phones like the iPhone 6s, Galaxy S6, Note 5 and more, BlackBerry needed to make a great phone. So far, that’s exactly what we’ve heard from the Priv, with its curved 5.4-inch Quad-HD display, 18-megapixel camera, and great battery life with a massive 3,410mAh battery inside, just to name a few specs. Read on for more details for other carriers.
Now, nearly two months after its launch, BlackBerry seems to think the phone is worthy of a bigger launch or carriers, all major carriers in the US will soon be presenting the impressive new phone.
Today at CES 2016, BlackBerry CEO John Chen confirmed that all major carriers are finally on board. To name Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile specifically. So all four major carriers in the United States will offer it to buyers.
However, BlackBerry’s CEO has not shared any other details like release dates, but T-Mobile has already announced the end of January when its users can expect to receive the new phone with a sliding keyboard. January 26 may be limited to T-Mobile only, or the other two may release on the same day. We’ll have to wait and see.
For now, it’s up to Verizon and Sprint to make official announcements, share pricing details, and more. At the end of the day, users will have to decide if Priv is worth buying. It has some unique BlackBerry features, but runs on a nearly stock version of Android. Users will enjoy the big bright screen, curved edges, 18-megapixel camera, long battery life and front-facing speakers that complement the BlackBerry Priv. As more information emerges, we will update everything buyers need to know.
