The device recognized well in the market, after the warm reception of the device now the company has announced to move Android handsets. At CES, John Chen, CEO of BlackBerry confirmed that all upcoming mobiles by the company will run the Android operating system.

Now the company will tap those customers who care less about BlackBerry security and enterprise system and love more with apps and games. So instead of BB10 the company will run a Google operating system in its upcoming mobiles.

As Priv mobile has various best features that made users content. The device was targeted to corporate sector so it came with strong security and enterprise features.
