There's a new Android rumor burning up the web like a fireworks display on the fourth of July. In fact, it started over the weekend during the festivities. Supposedly, Blackberry is working on an Android device called the Venice, and this smartphone will have a typical touch-screen, but will also include a slide-out keyboard.
Feel free to be stunned. We were, since we were off on Friday and didn't see it until today. There's also talk that we might see this device announced as early as November of this year. Here's the rumored breakdown of specs for this unusual device:
- 5.4-inch display with 2560-by-1440 resolution
- 1.8 GHz Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor and Adreno 418 GPU
- 3 GB of RAM
- 18-megapixel rear camera
- 5-megapixel front camera
- Slide-out keyboard
What do you guys think? Could this be the thing that saves Blackberry, or is it just further proof they have been defeated and have lost all relevance?
