BlackBerry may launch a second Android-powered smartphone in 2016

During a recent interview with Bloomberg, BlackBerry CEO John Chen hinted that the Canadian company may well launch a second Android-powered smartphone in 2016. Like the Priv, the upcoming device, which has been codenamed Vienna, is expected to a be a mid-range to high-end handset featuring the firm’s iconic hardware keyboard.

Unfortunately, Chen didn’t elaborate on a specific time frame for the device. He merely stated that its release will depend on how the Priv performs on the open market in the coming months. At present, the handset is only available in four countries, but will touch down in an additional thirty-one within the next three months.
