BlackBerry has finally launched its secure Android-powered smartphone in India called Priv. After the struggling BB10 OS-based smartphones, it is BlackBerry’s yet another attempt to capture the smartphone market, but this time with Android OS, which would take care of the app gap that has plagued BlackBerry OS.

BlackBerry smartphones have always been known for physical QWERTY keyboards and with the Priv, the company has included a slide-out keyboard. The company has also included addons such as BB Hub, BBM (BlackBerry Messenger), BlackBerry Device Search, DTEK by BlackBerry warning system, BlackBerry Notes and BlackBerry Password Keeper on top of Android.
