No screen keyboard comes the real keys for typing comfort and security close Tip-even remotely. The BlackBerry newcomer combines both in an acceptable handy housing – a large display, which allows comfortable surfing, and a usable keyboard – makes the Priv to solitaire in the smartphone world
In addition, the BlackBerry has not only the design, but also the functionality of the keyboard successfully transferred to the Android platform. So the keypad also acts as a kind of trackpad that allows you to navigate by finger swipe through pages or to select text blocks. This is so fluid that this lightness you wanted as a standard for the whole mobile world.
Judging by the hardware quality of Android Berry is the claim of the brand and its longtime fans so do justice.
The question remains whether the transfer of DNA has succeeded even in the software? The answer is an emphatic “yes and no”. Because the operation of the Priv but differs in some places significantly from the strongly characterized by swiping operation of BB10 smartphones. Above all, the central upward and sideways movements with your thumb, with the help of long-time BlackBerry users could large parts of the cell phone features operate almost blind, have fallen victim to the regime change.
As the only tolerably familiar swipe gesture the possibility remains the BlackBerry Hub, the central platform for communication and time management, access to the right with the usual thumb string from the middle, bottom of the screen. The finger swipe from the top opens instead of the usual BlackBerry shortcuts for device control, the original Android Short Links.
The reason is that BlackBerry on an unchanged large parts and only single, decisive points functionally enhanced original Android touches down in the version 5.1. Unlike Samsung, Sony or HTC, which have partly changed profoundly the program finishes its Android phones to BlackBerry has focused on not visually but technically adapt the platform to your own ideas.
software security
This is especially true for the question of how to protect the unit and can protect against some hits of data thieves. Similar to their previous models, for example, special crypto modules that BlackBerry developers have therefore also in the Android Priv installed, designed to ensure that if possible no malicious software onto the smartphone arrives, or they at least will not get access to critical user data.
The protection allows, for example, that the user can preset that after a reboot without entering a Entsperrschlüssels not even the operating system of the smartphone is loading. Besides the Priv According to its developers also monitors the integrity of its core applications and operating system components to modification in order to make access of spy programs.
Use the Android app specially developed DTEK, the Priv-users can not only check the machine for potential vulnerabilities in the configuration. The control software also makes it possible to trace for each application when it has on what (personal) data accessed. An application-specific rights management that individual apps would deny access to data or the way into the net ado completely, BlackBerry is retrofitted with the previously announced update to the next generation Android. It should appear in the coming spring.
