Blackberry priv already has beta marshmallow

Blackberry continues with its transition to the Android platform on its new mobile phones, abandoning the Blackberry OS, which finally ended up pale in front of the Google operating system. With this intention, Blackberry is launching a beta of the latest version of Android "MarshMallow" for its Blackberry Priv phone, the most recent that they have released to the market during the past year.

The final version of Android 6.0 MarshMallow for the Blackberry is going to be released only in approximately 8 weeks, but the Canadian company is already enabling users of the Blackberry Priv to install a beta version of it.

Users of the Blackberry Priv should only log in to the Blackberry ID service and join the list, then they should just wait for the call to enable the installation of Android 6.0 on their device, although unfortunately there are no "guarantees" that all users on the list receive the corresponding call, as Blackberry herself comments. From the Blackberry blog it has been ensured that the beta of Android 6.0 will take 4-8 weeks, so the launch of the final version for the Blackberry Priv would arrive during May.

This is what the Android MarshMallow looks like on the Blackberry Priv

The fact that Android "MarshMallow" has not yet reached Blackberry phones (remember that it was launched in October last year), clearly marks the problems of this company to keep up with other proposals in the mobile field such as Apple or Samsung. This inability of Blackberry is reflected in sales in the last quarter of last year, where they only managed to sell 600, 000 units, it is not known how many of them were a Blackberry Priv.

The good news for users is that Blackberry returned to the classic and once again bets on the physical keyboards on their phones , will it be enough to trace the company?
