Learn more about the BlackBerry Priv in our full BlackBerry Priv review at Pocketnow: /2015/11/18/blackberry-priv-review (Full description below)
A decade ago, the BlackBerry was an almost unstoppable force in the smartphone world, with one out of every five smartphones sold by the juggernaut then known as Research in Motion. Today, BlackBerry is on the ropes with less than 1% market share, a stalled ecosystem and a device portfolio focused more on recalling the past than blazing a new trail. With its new BlackBerry Priv, the former superstar hopes to revive its flagging fortunes by focusing on "priv"acy, and on once again making it a "priv"ilege to own a BlackBerry. Does the company's first Android phone deserve a place in your holster? Let’s find out in Pocketnow's BlackBerry Priv review!

Another great Michael Fisher review. My god he is such an amazing reviewer, what would Pocketnow be without him

To everyone asking about the game titles: as always, they're right on the screen! :) Check the upper-left corner whenever we're showing gameplay footage. "Asphalt 8" and "Galaxy on Fire 2 HD" were the games featured in this review. ^M

M....You got this brother. Still the best reviewer on youtube. No doubt. I can't believe I'm saying this but, I would buy this if it weren't an 808 device. Sadly that means more issues,than not.

@Pocketnow 8 лет назад

Some of you think Michael went too easy on the Priv, while others seem to think he came down too hard on it. Check out the full review to see how he really feels (and to see more of him talking in the third person): pocketnow.com/2015/11/18/blackberry-priv-review ^M

@stevestojan 8 лет назад

Unless the Priv got an 11 out of 10 rating here, and on all other tech sites, I don't see this saving BB. "Annoyances" shouldn't happen on a company-saving flagship.

@govindsomadas2866 8 лет назад

So glad blackberry decided to release an android device. Though I doubt it's the device that'll put them back amongst the smartphone top dogs it certainly looks like a major step forward for them.

@Pocketnow 8 лет назад

+Govind Somadas Well said. It's absolutely a big step. ^M

@Ausholliday15 8 лет назад

+Pocketnow I agree, the functionality concept is praticaly brilliant

@deadlydevansh 8 лет назад

They actually should have done what Google did this year. Release 2 phones with different price points because as much as I like BBs; this is way too expensive.

@LilKray4556 8 лет назад

+Andre Wolff Doubt it because this actually has an audience and appeal. I work at AT&T and we have sold quite a few of these. This phone is really good!

@xandrex 8 лет назад

+Andre Wolff the Amazon Firephone was sold as a physical portal to the Amazon store. Apart from scanning something and being able to buy it from the Amazon store, it had no real reason to exist. The BlackBerry Priv has concrete differentiators that (some) people can relate to: more privacy on Android, more security on Android, and a physical keyboard.

@yeyintmoe4174 8 лет назад

Hey PocketNow congrats on your 5000 videos. I'm a big fan here from Finland. I always rely on your review videos before making any purchase for mobile phones and other accessories. I think pocket now is one of the most if not the most reliable and honest reviewers on the Internet. keep up the good work and congrats on your success!!! lots of love from Finland.

@kaimartens1771 5 лет назад

I guess this phone still garrantee privacy better than most android phones of 2018.

@joaquinperez9146 4 года назад

I'm still using my 4 year old Priv in 2020 because of its form factor with the slide-out keyboard and large screen. I am on my third battery and have had the screen replaced after a 6 ft. drop. Every reviewer gripes about the camera, but I think it takes amazing shots. It didn't take me long to become fast with the keyboard, and the slide out feature is great for typing emails and documents with a full screen when I'm not in the office. In fact, as a solo attorney, I do about half of my work on this phone despite often having a desktop computer in front of me. This phone does drain the battery very fast, and the processor can often be used to cook eggs. But overall I have been happy with it. People always stop me to ask about it when I'm out in public, and are shocked that anyone still has a Blackberry in 2020. It's unfortunate that there won't be any new Blackberry phones in the foreseeable future, so I may break down later this year and get the Key2 despite it having a smaller screen.

@lampardroXX 8 лет назад

When I heard that blackberry was coming out with another phone... Got my hopes up so high and after the review started coming and whenever I saw these negative comments a tear would fall from my eye and after watching Michael's review I am the happiest person on earth... Love your reviews brother. Just love the priv and how it looks... Would love to get one. Thanks Michael best review ever!!!

@keithrice6631 8 лет назад

Great review Michael! If you could do a "revisited" review after the new year (or after the Marshmallow update) that would be much appreciated. I really want to give Blackberry another shot but these inconsistencies are going to be hard to look past come upgrade time. Cheers!

@CdnYnot 8 лет назад

I originally wanted to hate this video due to the title, but Micheal did an amazing job. Many videos of the Priv which I've seen have been a tad bias and pretty harsh at times. You told what you liked, and then what the Priv didn't do well... with examples. I have a BB10 Passport which I adore, and was totally opposed to the Blackberry Android amalgamation, then started playing with the Priv one day. Now I would consider even buying this phone. But maybe I'll wait, as there is nothing wrong with my Passport. Keep up the great reviews!

@xFreshKicks08 8 лет назад

I would have been sold on this phone if it had a fingerprint scanner and 5mp front facing camera.

@SouthBayLA1310 8 лет назад

@SouthBayLA1310 8 лет назад

+Keenan Spencer You my nigga, are a Samsung fanboy

@The-Heart-Will-Testify 8 лет назад

+xFreshKicks08 s6 edge is one slippery phone lool it looks like its fake...why the build is so cheap u can tell they wanted to save money on hardware lol....the curved screen on the s6 is only for show lol...battery is bad ...lol@at keen saying bad battery lol I didn't charge it for a whole day...ive owned the s6 and the battery was bad

@xandrex 8 лет назад

+Keenan Spencer well the S6 has a fantastic build quality. But not the S6Edge. The phone's back is an aggression to the palm of a human hand, however big it is, and the overall quality of the S6Edge is inferior to most Huawei smartphones. Besides, every reviewer has stated that the curves on the Priv screen are better used than the curves on a S6Edge screen. Most people who understand what security is stay away from fingerprint scanners on smartphones. Regarding the 2MPix selfie camera, yes it is anemic, and yes it can be a showstopper for some people. I'm not part of those people.

@ameyphatale4407 8 лет назад

@Michael I am a blackberry fan and for some reason I liked the genuine critics you made. I am using blackberry 10 since it's launch and feels extremely fluid for my usage over and over the updates. Switching to android creeps out at time, because when I used it, it just doesn't do my things as easy as BB 10 dose. What is your choice between BB Passport Vs BB Priv, considering I don't care about google services. Is BB priv more productive than BB Passport??

@Pocketnow 8 лет назад

+Amey Phatale If you don't need Google services and BB10 suits you fine, then there's no reason to switch. In some ways BlackBerry's own software is more consistent and fluid than its Android launcher. We can't speak to BB's long-term plans regarding BB10 though. ^M

@bradleyschey 8 лет назад

I have both the Passport and the Priv. The Passport is by far the better device for communications and productivity. If you can afford it and your use to having two devices, the Priv is a good secondary device, which is how I use mine. Better than the other Android devices I've tested, and prefer it over the iPhone 6S Plus.

@rockster32 8 лет назад

Been using the Priv here in the UK for a little under a week now. Using on O2 but it is available on other networks. Also, I've noticed that phones seem a lot more expensive in the US. The Priv is a great phone; used and owned all the big named phones and I am enjoying this phone more than those. I think the build is good, the physical keyboard is fantastic (once you get used to it) it really is great seeing the full screen while typing. Yep, software is a bit confusing here and there, some things are duplicated, for example Gmail, you're going to want to cancel Gmail alerts as the Hub will keep you right. Also, every time you take a picture it asks you if you want to save to the SD card, every time. As mentioned, with a couple of software updates and tweaks the phone could be fantastic. Blackberry have been releasing the occasional update so hopefully they'll be able to address some of the issues.

fingerprint scanners aren't that secure

@arthurk5808 8 лет назад

I see it like this...if someone gets access to where my fingerprint is stored I can't get a new one ...with passwords I can just change them whenever I want

@andyH_England 8 лет назад

+Arthur K you have obviously never used a fingerprint reader, once you do you will never go back to PIN security. The tech is there so not having it is a major fail for a smart phone OEM. When you take the price into account it is even less forgivable. Why isn't it launched with Marshmallow. For a business phone why is the front camera so poor? Why on benchmarks is it performing worse than phones half the price? Lots of good stuff but they have not done the really important stuff well for the price. Hopefully software tweaks can improve things but I suspect mark 2 will be the one to go for, assuming BB is still making phones.

@arthurk5808 8 лет назад

+amfrepo it might be convinient but that doesnt defeat my earlier comment

@john_hunter 8 лет назад

Idk why but that skin is so simple yet so beautiful. I love it how they changed alot of the icons but kept them very material design like, and didn't take them to far from the original icons. The charging bar that wraps around the screen is a nice touch as well. If you couldn't tell I'm the kind of android user that looks at the design of the os and how it looks and feels when I'm using it instead of only settling for the best of the best phone. Give me a phone with a good app store, nice screen, decent specs, decent battery, good looking icons and lots of cool animations hidden around and you have me sold.

@sethpowers5069 8 лет назад

This is the device I have been after since it was first thought to be the name of Venice. Priv is an interesting name but is one that follows BlackBerry and their history of secure devices. My first smart phone was a BlackBerry, now that they've entered the Android subspace, it makes it that much more drool worthy. Thanks for an awesome review!

@originaldeftom 8 лет назад

@GoldGiggler 8 лет назад

On of the concerns of the Priv right now is that it packs a powerful battery, but it doesn't to hold up as long as it should. With this in mind and all the other performance issues faced by Priv, I believe we would all appreciate a relook of the device once it gets a Marshmallow update. In any case, keep up the good work and have a great day! :)

@BatsiraiMusuka 8 лет назад

l am turning into a BlackBerry fanatic with each release. There is a bit to fix within the company, but l love their integrity and hope they get back to a corporate level where they can splurge more on their flagships to see strong returns. BlackBerry is doing interesting things now that they are the underdogs. l think the Priv would work better for me in Zimbabwe (currently l'm on the Z10. Its required some technical maneuvering since Zim has no BB support whatsoever). So you really have to be a die hard BB Fanatic outchea. Loved this review. Brilliant job Pocketnow. As for me l think HTC and BlackBerry rock!

Now we just need a horizontal slider. Nobody was asking for a vertical slider, but that capacitive scrolling feature is kind of neat.

Where was the footage shot for this review? I'm road tripping across America next year and the town in this video was beautiful. Would like to see it in person.

I have had mine for 5 days. I haven't experienced any lag at all and that's amazing considering its android. I feel blackberry have done a wonderful job. my battery seems pretty good. camera I'm still trying to get a nice day to try it. will I keep it. yes it's for better android experience than anything else. it just needs a few updates to smooth things out.

I like the trackpad option and the 3 points feature. it seems most problems are software fixable. decent showing by BB. Good review.

Nice, balanced review. Thanks! Although I did not like the BB's I had to use for work, I was happy to see the Priv and interested to see it's capabilities. Too bad it's so last, but hopefully the update to M will help.

How Priv handles email? on BB10, when you are using Exchange email, the BB10 preserve the format as in you send your email on microsoft outlook in PC/Laptop. iOS and other android phone (both stock email client app and third party app), changed the formatting into a sort of text only email. it is very unprofessional judging by the formatting and the view of the email. Does Priv do the job like BB10? thank you in advance.

My favorite thing about the Priv is the keyboard. I really miss having a nice physical keyboard. It would be awesome if I could get my hands on one! It looks pretty sweet!
