What we have received so far is the information about BlackBerry Priv price which was leaked in China not long ago. Accordingly, the Priv will cost 3,999 Yuan, equivalent to $630 or RM2,625 as the BlackBerry Priv Price in Malaysia. Obviously, this cannot be called an affordable device; it will mainly aim at those who want to purchase a high-end machine.

As we mentioned above, BB Priv looks really special when sporting the Android interface, but other BlackBerry Priv specs are also impressive. They include a Quad HD 5.4-inch screen, a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 1.8GHz chipset and 3GB RAM. As for the camera, there is a combo of a 5 megapixel front and an 18 megapixel rear snapper with Schneider-Kreuznach lens, autofocus function and ability to record 4K videos. In addition, the handset’s internal storage is capable of 32GB. For a fuller view of the BB Priv Specs, check out the table below:
