Hawt stuff... epic!

No o! Make dem continue, as na phone be the priority for dem

Tallesty1:
Oga.


Xperia devices are not 100% Android.

Read the emboldened.



It’s close to stock Android: Unlike other manufacturers like HTC, Huawei, LG, Samsung, Sony xiaomi, Meizu etc – BlackBerry didn’t want to change the look and feel of Android too much. It’s a familiar place, looking and behaving like Android, even though there are a range of extras that have been sensitively added in.

Just like Motorola, the company only changed what needs to be changed and sticking to the bits of Android that already work perfectly well.

Priv is closer to stock android than Xperia.

Motorola!!! My companion

My dream phone!!!

BlackBerry’s First Real Android phone was launched recently and it seems to be a game changer for Blackberry.

The company successfully combined the best features of BlackBerry with the best of Android and best flagship-spec which includes a full QWERTY keyboard, as well as a range of clever additions.

That is awesome.

Android phones have so many interesting features that ensures you don’t get bored while using them but there are some super-cool exceptional things you will definitely love about the new BlackBerry Priv.

Just like Motorola, the company only changed what needs to be changed and sticking to the bits of Android that already work perfectly well.

Pop-up widgets: This is a feature that no one has thought of including before. Instead of dropping widgets onto your home screens, you can have them pop-up from a shortcut icon. Just enable the feature and then a swipe down on the icon will pop the widget up. It keeps things clean and simple on your home screen, and it’s a great addition to Android.

The most interesting part is that it doesn’t need any special widgets – it just uses those that already exist when you install an app. It’s so simple, it’s brilliant – and the idea will probably be stolen before you can say Android 7.0 Nougat.

Keyboard shortcuts: If you’re keen on keeping your home screen clean, you can programme each of the physical keyboard keys to be a shortcut. You simply slide open your handset, long press the key and you’ll be able to assign it to an app. That’s a whole world of shortcuts!

A for Amazon, B for BBC iPlayer, C for Citymapper, D for Docs, E for Expedia, F for Facebook, G for Groupon, H for Hailo, I for Instagram, J for Just Eat, K for Kindle, L for Layout, M for Maps, etc

Battery charging: We’ve all seen the tiny flash icon that appears in the battery when you’re connected to the charger. Or maybe you’ve seen the bubbling battery as it fills with charge. Well Priv uses the edge of it’s curved display to give you charge status at a glance.

When you connect the charger, the draws out around the edge of the display so you can instantly see how charged it is. It changes from red to yellow to green as it goes. It looks really slick. Good job BlackBerry.

BlackBerry Hub: BlackBerry Hub is something that you will easily get addicted to once you start using it. The Hub pulls your Gmail, Calendars, Twitter mentions, your messages together in one place. You can swipe down to peek into your calender for example.

It’s a productive place and BB has stuck to material design, so it fits with the rest of the Android apps you love. Once signed in, you can turn off syncing on your Google accounts for calendar and Gmail, because Hub will do it for you instead.

Scolding myself for taking out time to read this garbage of "features".
Today is Sunday; if not the OP should have been jailed for spurning out trash.

Wil glo 1k work on It

loomer:


U no go blame them na, na china wey come make fones cheap

That is because they know Nigerians like to use phones and they see Nigeria as a dumping ground for all those things which they don't need.

Emeskhalifa:

Jus like d day I saw an abokee okada man with phantom Z, I almost went crazy, wanted to walk pass him but cudnt. So I approached and asked some question, I even collect d phone look d spec sef. Ah swear it was phantom Z!!!
Then I asked him if he 2go and whatsapp and he said no. that all he does wth d phone is make call, recieve call play music N watch video. I almost fainted at that point

Yes now you will see so many of them with good android but if you ask them many of them don't know anything about IMEI or how to root the android.

loomer:


Which country, oga dey watch news jare make u see how dem dey suffer plus the story wey dem dey make us believe say them get

When westerners judge us on what they watch on the "NEWS", we start crying foul play that the " NEWS" doesn't show d good part about Nigeria, and now ure judging a whole India with what u saw on the NEWS, talk about highest level of hypocrisy....

Blackberry Priv is a lovely phone,the "Priv" is culled from private,its not for the crowd! Get a feel of it battery life a sharp contrast of the boring norm
