New renders of BlackBerry's Android smartphone, which the company code named "Venice," have surfaced on the web giving fans a sneak peak of what the device has to offer.

"Venice" first emerged over the weekend from CrackBerry. The website managed to seize the new batch of leaks, which consisted of three pictures.

The first picture shows the Android Lollipop-powered BlackBerry Hub. It appears to be capable of simple but efficient messaging through email or social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

This is well in line with BB's press release last March when they tackled about the company's software and services vision.

"Expanding cross-platform strategy will deliver BlackBerry's best-in-class mobile security, productivity, communication and collaboration capabilities to any smartphone or tablet running iOS, Android and Windows," the mobile company mentioned in a press release.

John Chen, BlackBerry's CEO, said users have asked their firm to create a collaborative device that would mirror the users' lifestyle and personality while still having the security system and core productivity that BlackBerry products are known for.

"We will continue to look for opportunities to broaden our software footprint in the market. Our goal is to be wherever our users need and want us, with our software suites, whether that's on an iPhone or a BlackBerry Classic," Chen concluded.

In the second picture, we get a glimpse of the smartphone's camera and other rumored specifications.

As earlier reported by N4BB, "Venice" will have a 5.4-inch quad HD display, a hexa-core 1.8GHz Snapdragon 808 processor, 3 GB of RAM, and an 18 MP main camera with a 5 MP front shooter.

Lastly, the third picture suggests that "Venice" will be capable of Google Chromecast. This development is sure to spark speculations even more about BlackBerry's collaboration with Google for an Android phone.

Chromecast is a 2-inch USB type of device that is plugged into an HDTV. It acts as a gateway for Android users to search video content from their device and stream it on their Smart TVs. By this, smartphones and tablets wouldn't have to do streaming tasks thereby saving battery life.

As for the smartphone's look, Android Authority has the scoop:

"We can make out a new curved display design that bears a striking resemblance to the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung may been keen to sell its AMOLED technology to other parties, but it is also possible that LG could be providing the display. A similar looking LG prototype display was spotted behind closed doors earlier this year."

BlackBerry's first-ever Android device is rumored to release later this year.
