23 November, 2015
It looks like the Canadian smartphone maker is looking to diversify beyond Qualcomm for chipsets.

Flagship have 16mp camera, 4gb ram, 64gb internal, Snapdragon 820 coming soon next year. Exynos 7420 is almost a year old. Exynos M is the new one. This is really not worth it. Smaller screen too with QHD compare to Priv. Priv itself is rather unsuccessful anyway. The keyboard is too small for fingers. The apps is not very useful and undeletable. Forget security, its a mess in there.

              BB PRIV is the best mobile used so far. amazing display, quality and best android smartphone with security from boot level to app level

                  More like DeadBerry....

                      I hope that the build quality on this potential device is better than that of the Priv.

                          kilbuzz, 23 Nov 2015But faster, smoother, more stable and definitely more secur... moresecure...... as long as BB continues using android that wont help to that goal plus ...... i dont think those are betetr unless they implemented the all time reboot after update / installation .....or 1/2 hour boot after battery went to 0% ...yeah sure.. also because of the looks.... we cant compare a 2014 smartphone with an almost 2016 ..only a dumb will do it. lets compare it to a G5 still pending like this processor boy

                              Main question is why on earth they will be releasing a 2015 flagship when the new chipsets are pretty much less than 2 months away from market.

                                After trying the Priv for 10 days, I can honestly say it is one of the worst phones in my life.
                                Build quality is very poor.
                                Software filled with bugs that shows up as error messages every minute.
                                Average battery life and crappy camera.
                                I just requested return today
