Performance
The BlackBerry Priv was fueled by a Qualcomm MSM8992 Snapdragon 808 chipset, incorporating a hexa-core CPU with a configuration of 4x1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 cores for power efficiency and 2x1.8 GHz Cortex-A57 cores for performance. Coupled with 3GB of RAM and an Adreno 418 GPU, the device handled multitasking and graphic-intensive tasks with relative ease for its time. Though originally launched with Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), it was upgradable to Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow), allowing users access to improved features and security enhancements.
