A Reddit user that goes by the handle "Imsorandom" apparently attended the CISO conferences held in Toronto recently. He stumbled on to an actual BlackBerry Priv handset and captured several impressive live shots with the device.

According to the Reddit user, a BlackBerry Executive attending the same CISO conference allowed him to play around the BlackBerry Priv, also dubbed Venice. The Reddit user apparently owns a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 phablet as well. Comparing the Samsung device, he said that the Priv by BlackBerry is thinner than the Galaxy Note 5, even with a sliding keyboard attached to it.

He further added that the BlackBerry Priv comes across as smooth, fashionable and the keyboard is very likeable. The device has "full access" to the Google Play store, as rumored earlier. Speaking of design and display, the screen apparently looks stunning with a "high pixel density" and it flaunted rounded corners. The Reddit user also gave a final verdict by saying -- "I'm definitely interested in Blackberry again."
