Blackberry 10 is an operating system developed by Blackberry itself. Together BB10, Blackberry had experienced good times stood on the top of the global handset market. But the market has changed, making Blackberry plummet to the bottom of the ravine.
Lately, often heard the news that the Blackberry is working to make the Android operating system mobile phones with the Blackberry name of Venice. But yesterday came the news that the official name will be the Blackberry Priv Venice. The phone will be the first smartphone that uses the Blackberry OS other than the Blackberry 10. In this regard, an analyst at Scotia Capital, as reported by Daniel Chan of publications Korea, Etoday on Wednesday (24/09/2015) says that Blackberry needs to switch entirely to Android smartphone even for those who will come.
With the shift to Android, according to Daniel Chan Blackberry could save $ 266 million per year. The savings will come from the lay-offs of 1,400 employees in the R & D division. In addition, by using Android, the Blackberry can easily reach the sales target of 10 million handsets per year, because it could represent less than 1% of the market for Android phones.
Chan said that BB10 has failed to recover Blackberry and continues to be a source of major losses for the company. However, it should be noted that the Blackberry itself can not just throw BB10 this time, because the company still has a contract that must be met.
