BlackBerry’s upcoming Android powered smartphone, codenamed Venice, has been leaked in new images, courtesy of a Vietnamese website. They show off the the device from different angles, as well as a sliding mechanism that shows off its physical QWERTY keyboard.

The leak reveals a bunch of features about the upcoming device. The top of the device will house the SIM card slot as well as the microSD card slot. The rear of the phone will have an 18MP camera with optical image stabilization, along with Fast Focus Technology and dual-LED flash. The display of the device shows slightly curved edges, similar to the Samsung S6 Edge and S6 Edge+.

As per rumors, the phone will have a 5.4-inch QHD display, 18MP primary camera and a 5MP secondary camera. The phone will be powered by a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 SoC, and will have 3GB of RAM. 

This leak gives us the best view yet of Blackberry’s upcoming phone. However, it certainly isn’t the first leak. Back in MWC, we got a first glimpse of the phone, and since then. leaks have been steadily coming in. Back in July, it was rumored that the BlackBerry Venice had arrived in India along with another phone, codenamed Dallas, for testing. The Dallas was basically a BlackBerry Passport that ran Android. Well known leakster, Evan Blass AKA @evleaks, also posted a promo video of the Venice on his Twitter account. Just last week, there was an entire video of an Android powered BlackBerry Passport that was leaked. All these leaks point towards two Android Lollipop-powered BlackBerry devices,, that may be launched this year. However, since Google has already revealed Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the two devices might just come with the new OS.
