The company took the stage of MWC 2015 to introduce its first-ever Android phone BlackBerry Priv in October last year. BlackBerry Priv got off to a strong start, but with the passage of time sales started to decrease. Nevertheless, BlackBerry did not lose hope in its Android debut, with rumors spreading that the company would be coming up with another Android device. CEO John Chen had already said it that 2016 will be a year of Android phones for BlackBerry.

Like the Priv, BlackBerry Vienna is expected to have a display of 5-inch with a resolution expected to be around 1080p. Unlike the Priv, Vienna might not be powered by a Dual-core 1.8 GHZ processor and 3GB RAM, so don’t get your hopes high. Similarly, Vienna would not have the 18MP camera, but it likely to have both front and rear camera with LED flash. Card slots are on the left-hand side of the phone with the charging slot above them. The phone is expected to come out in four colors.

The MWC 2016 will see some of the biggest smartphone manufacturers launching their flagship products from its platform. Be it the Samsung Galaxy S7, LG G5, or HTC One M10, BlackBerry needs to make sure that its Vienna stands out among the rest. BlackBerry could be the surprise factor in the Congress that can take everyone by storm. Looking at the current state of BlackBerry, it desperately needs to make headlines in the MWC.
