Here's a promo video of the upcoming BlackBerry Venice

The Blackberry Venice seems to be a high-end smartphone that will run on Android OS with a sliding QWERTY keyboard and feature a screen with slightly curved glass, probably like the one seen on that of the Galaxy 6 edge.

The rumored specs include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chipset, 3GB of RAM, QHD display, and 16MP main camera.

We wait and see if the OS switch will pay off for the struggling Canadian company. The smartphone is likely to be released soon.
