Blackberry Plans To Make A Middle-end Android Phone

Since the release of the Android powered Blackberry Priv the Canadian company appears to have a better chance at returning to its past, lost glory than they did last year.

Before the release of the Blackberry Priv, Blackberry had a market share of less than 1% and was really struggling to make sales.
Blackberry had to make an android device since their BB10 devices didn't sell as expected.

The Blackberry Priv is the first ever Android device from blackberry and according to a video interview on Bloomberg, there is probably another android blackberry device coming soon.
In the interview, Blackberry's CEO John Chen announced that the company might be making another Android powered Blackberry device in 2016. According to him, if the sales for the Blackberry Priv are favorable in the first quarter of 2016 the company would likely add another Android device to the lineup.

According to CrackBerry, the device will be called Vienna.
The Blackberry Vienna will not have a 'slider' as previously seen on the Blackberry Priv, instead it will feature a fixed keyboard like the Blackberry Q5 and Q10.
