With the updates comes in very handy Marshmallow features like Doze, which is popular for helping to elongate battery life. BlackBerry has also made the additions of extra security to the phone as Blackberry revealed it has been in work with a lot carriers with the aim of relapsing monthly security updates.

Also to come with the update is the capacity of the physical keyboard to be compatible with swipe input. We have not really seen this feature on a hardware keyboard so far. Though BlackBerry Priv’s on-screen keyboard is capable of responding to swipe input too.

With the updates, the camera brings in 24fps modes for 1080p and 720p, in addition to a 120fps slow-motion mode. The autofocus is quite at an improved speed but then these updates don’t really have much as changes to image quality.
