BlackBerry is getting ready to take a crack at the Android market and Android Authority has obtained some high-quality leaked photos of the device that give us a nice closeup view of the BlackBerry Venice, which is the current codename for BlackBerry’s first Android phone.

FROM EARLIER: Apple just released an Android app Google will absolutely hate

Much like some earlier leaked pics we’ve seen, these pictures do a nice job of showing us the slide-out QWERTY keyboard in the BlackBerry device, which should appeal to diehard BlackBerry users who also want to have access to Google’s hugely popular app ecosystem. As you can see, Chrome looks like your main browser option on the device so you won’t be stuck using BlackBerry’s default web browser right out of the box.
