BlackBerry annuncia Marshmallow per Priv (vantandosi della sua rapidità) e aggiorna le sue app (video)
Momento di forti aggiornamenti per BlackBerry Priv, che vede in arrivo sia un importante aggiornamento di sistema ad Android Marshmallow, che tanti piccoli aggiornamenti indipendenti via Play Store per tutte le sue app.
BlackBerry si vanta infatti del fatto che Priv appartiene alla elite di smartphone dotati di Marshmallow, che in effetti, secondo i dati di aprile, è solo sul 4,6% del totale. Ciò non toglie il fatto che BlackBerry sia stata piuttosto lenta, avendo anche un solo smartphone da aggiornare, ma un plauso va fatto al modo in cui l'azienda ha rigirato la cosa, ed in ogni caso i suoi aggiornamenti di sicurezza sono sempre arrivati prima degli altri.
L'agognato aggiornamento a Marshmallow arriverà quindi con gli update di sicurezza di maggio, e probabilmente ci vorrà ancora qualche giorno perché raggiunga l'Italia, ma ormai il dado è tratto e non si torna indietro; e complimenti a BlackBerry per aver fatto prima di quanto temessimo.
Per quanto riguarda invece le app, in previsione dell'update di sistema ci sono novità un po' per tutte le app del Priv (in molti casi per lo più fix, tranne la tastiera che aggiunge la scrittura swipe, il drag and drop e nuovi strumenti di selezione), che potrete raggiungere sul Play Store tramite il link seguenti. BlackBerry Services, BlackBerry Device Search, BlackBerry Keyboard, DTEK by BlackBerry, BlackBerry Launcher.
A seguire trovate il il video di presentazione dell'aggiornamento a Marshmallow per il Priv ed il changelog completo in inglese.
More Privacy and Security
You get more ways to monitor and control your privacy and better protect PRIV from malware, hacks and data breaches with Marshmallow on PRIV.
- Customized Personal Data Permissions – Apps demand access to personal data, even when it’s not necessary for the app to function properly, but DTEK now gives you the power to control what to share and when. You can turn permissions off at any time and still continue to use the app.
- Clearer Notification Settings – You’ll only see notification controls for sensors that an app has specifically requested access to. For example, if an application doesn’t request microphone access, it will not appear in the list.
- S/MIME Support – The new S/MIME feature in BlackBerry Hub lets you digitally sign and encrypt your emails, adding another level of security to your communications.
Enhanced BlackBerry Keyboard
PRIV’s BlackBerry Keyboard has been updated to provide better predictive typing, accuracy and control with these new features.
- More Emoji – You’ll have access to over 200 new and updated emojis.
- New Keyboard Gestures – The new swipe capability allows you to drag your finger across the keys to enter words on the virtual and/or physical keyboard.
- Enhanced Word Prediction – The keyboard anticipates your next word based on where you place your fingers on keys. Also, predictive typing learns words with numbers and delivers better name suggestions based on your contacts.
- Better Cursor Control – Activate “Cursor Control” mode on the physical keyboard for easier positioning and control. You can accurately place the cursor on the screen by tapping a key on the physical keyboard.
Better Notifications
With Android M on PRIV, you can better organize apps and manage productivity with a touch of a button.
- Mute Indicator – See the phone’s mute status at a glance via the floating phone indicator that appears when a call is active. You’ll see yellow when your call is muted and green when it isn’t.
- New Apps in BlackBerry Hub (right) – Now view notifications from even more of your favorite social media apps – including Instagram, Skype, Slack and Pinterest – directly in BlackBerry Hub to easily manage all your messages in one place.
- Updated BlackBerry Launcher – Better organize apps and widgets into Recent, Personal and Work sections, and you can set a default home screen, delete a home screen and remove apps with a flick.
More Battery Life & Storage
Get even more out of PRIV with battery performance and storage updates.
- Doze – When PRIV is at rest, Doze automatically puts your device into a sleep state to increase standby battery life.
- App Standby – This new feature keeps infrequently used apps from impacting your battery life.
- Media Card Encryption Support – You can safely and permanently increase your PRIV’s storage capacity by encrypting your media cards. If your PRIV is lost or stolen, prying eyes can’t take the media card out of your PRIV and view or copy it. This is a feature that many other Android phone makers do not support.
Camera Upgrades
Engage your creative side with new tools that help you capture the perfect image with ease and flair.
- Capture Professional and Cinematic Quality Videos – Record videos at 24fps – the standard frame rate used in professional feature-length motion pictures – in 4k, 1080p or 720p for high-quality footage to share on social media.
- Slow-Motion Video – Capture smooth slow-motion video with the PRIV’s camera. Capture video at 120 fps and play it back smoothly at 30 fps. The slow-motion effect can be applied after taking the video, and it even can be applied to select specific sections of the video. (Audio is not enabled for slow-motion video at this time.)
