BlackBerry CEO
John Chen said in an interview, 'The company does plan to release at least one, possibly two, new
smartphones in 2016, both of which would run Android.
Chen hopes the Android-powered Priv phone will help keep the brand alive. struggling company released its first Android device, the BlackBerry Priv, last year. The handset is simply the best BlackBerry in a decade, it has been on
sale about two months and will soon be available on more carriers and in
more countries, which should help bolster sales. BlackBerry will continue to exist, but won't offer any phones running
on its own BlackBerry 10 software. Still, future Android BlackBerry
devices means more choice besides the usual mix of Samsung, LG or HTC
Android phones.
Chen declined to comment on timing or details of the upcoming phones.
Roughly
two months into sales of the Priv, however, it's "so far, so good,"
Chen said. "I'm taking a cautiously optimistic view."
