The image suggests that the phone has an on-screen keyboard, similar to Android’s stock keyboard pictured below.

The on-screen keyboard is for whenever the user wants to quickly reply to a text, take notes or otherwise add text.

In case of heavy usage like sending an e-mail, the user can opt for t he physical keyboard, which is believed to be placed beneath the slider display. This is similar to the Blackberry 10 model picture below.

The Venice release has been eagerly awaited ever since Blackberry CEO John Chen revealed that the company was looking to make an Android handset as long as it can make the platform secure enough.
