  1. BlackBerry isn’t ready to give up on Android. The company is reportedly planning to release three new Android phones this year, which will come out one per quarter for the next three quarters, according to VentureBeat. That’s a lot of Android on BlackBerry, especially considering the company’s first Android phone, the Priv, completely flopped this past year. The company only sold 600,000 units during its first quarter of 2016.
  2. Still, today’s rumors aren’t a complete shock. CEO John Chen mentioned the creation of two new Android phones earlier this year. At the time, he said the Priv was a failure on his company’s part. "The fact that we came out with a high end phone [as our first Android device] was probably not as wise as it should have been," he said. He then added that the $699 slider phone was "too high-end a product," noting that "a lot of enterprise customers have said to us: 'I want to buy your phone, but $700 is a little too steep for me. I’m more interested in a $400 device.'"
