BlackBerry recently announced that Passport Silver Edition and many people were wondering why the company was releasing a refresh of one of its most recent smartphones. Well, if these leaked images of a pre-release version of the device are anything to go by, BlackBerry actually had Android running on the smartphone at some point, so this could be the fabled Android smartphone that the company is supposedly working on.

As I’m sure just about every CrackBerry reader knows already, BlackBerry has officially announced the BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition and as expected it’s running BlackBerry 10. But what if some of the pre-release versions were set up to run Android? A new set of images, as well as a video, have now appeared over at Mondo BlackBerry which appear to show off just that. A pre-release BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition running Android. As we know from history, it’s pretty easy to fake a BlackBerry running Android through the use of any of the launcher apps on the Google Play Store and about 3 minutes in Photoshop but there’s something a little bit more interesting about this set of images and video. A few signs that maybe, just maybe, this thing might actually be legit. To be clear, I’m not saying it is. I’m just saying, there are signs that may otherwise not be accomplished. Which signs you’re asking? Let me tell me you.
