The BlackBerry Venice is one of the most anticipated smartphone being the first BlackBerry phone to run with Android OS.
The device has been the subject of several leaks in the past. A new and recently leak photo of the BlackBerry Venice shows the device being actively used in public.
The new photo leak was uploaded on BerryFlow and shows the smartphone being used in public. On the leaked photo, the BlackBerry logo can be clearly seen on the top part of the device. Unfortunately the device's display appears blurry and not much can be perceived out of it.
If the leaked photo is indeed that of the BlackBerry Venice, this will be the first public sighting of the device.
BlackBerryOS claimed that the device is running the Google Android Messenger app as well as few other apps that require Google Play Services. The report added that the photo was taken at the Toronto Film Festival.
Based on the previous leaks, the BlackBerry Venice can run Android-based apps as well as some native apps made by BlackBerry. Many experts agree that the smartphone will come with a standard SMS app as well as the BlackBerry Messenger.
The BlackBerry Venice expected to pack a large 5.4-inch display screen and the iconic QWERTY sliding physical keyboard. The smartphone is believed to have a Snapdragon 808 from Qualcomm, 18-megapixel main camera and 3GB of internal memory. If this information is true, the smartphone will be in par with some of the latest flagship devices running on the Android platform.
