One of the images show the BlackBerry Venice with a large touchscreen and a physical keyboard that slides out. However, the interesting thing to notice in the image is the slight curves on display which are looking like the edged display of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge or the Galaxy S6 Edge+. The other set of images leaked by @evleaks suggests that Android Lollipop will come along with the device, but since Android Marshmallow (Android M) is also expected to launch this year, the BlackBerry smartphone may come with that instead. The other leaked features are a mail client , the UI of BlackBerry data transfer, and Chromecast.
There have been a lot of rumors related to the BlackBerry Venice ever since the company teased a slider phone with curved display at MWC event this year. There were even rumors of the Venice landing in India for testing purposes.
As for the specs, we have nothing more than rumors to go with at this point of time. Those rumors point towards a 5.4-inch QHD LCD with curved glass, Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 SoC, 3GB RAM, and 18MP/5MP cameras. However all of these are just rumors, so it's better to take everything with a pinch of salt at this point of time.
