Blackberry’s smartphone business has been considered to be ailing over the years, especially with its rivals releasing flagship handsets on an annual basis. Well the new BlackBerry Priv features both of those things and is now up for pre-registration on their website. For those not familiar with Schneider-Kreuznach, a few quick research tells us that these lenses are popular in Kodak and Samsung digital cameras, but have also been featured in a few high-end cameras. The company also decided that employees who wish to continue using the Blackberry device issued to them can do so, but they will now be required to pay the monthly data invoice.

The Canadian company also confirmed the smartphone will come with a “stunning” 5.4-inch dual-curved capacitive touchscreen display and a “long lasting” 3,410 mAh battery. Not only will it bring BlackBerry’s strong privacy DNA to the Android platform, but Priv will deliver top-of-the-line features for your maximum productivity, including an oversized screen and, underneath it, a smooth sliding mechanism that unveils the iconic BlackBerry keyboard.
