The BlackBerry Priv is BlackBerry's 2015 first Android smartphone, distinguished by a slide-out physical QWERTY keyboard beneath its 5.4-inch QHD AMOLED display. Powered by the Snapdragon 808 with 3GB RAM, it combines BlackBerry's enterprise security and DTEK privacy tools with the Android app ecosystem. Its 18MP Schneider-Kreuznach optics rear camera with OIS was a notable shooter for its era.
