BlackBerry continues to struggle for relevance in the mobile space dominated by Android and iOS. But according to the company’s CEO John Chen, it has one ace up its sleeve that might tip consumers to consider their products. In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Chen said its latest BlackBerry 10 platform is capable of running 98% of all Android apps.
“Android’s strength isn’t really the quality of the phone, which BlackBerry has. BlackBerry phones are well put together. We have a great BlackBerry Messenger experience, a great operating system. And it’s the most secure phone. Secure not only in data, but in personal identity. Younger consumers love all kinds of apps, and BlackBerry runs 98% of all the Android apps. All BlackBerry die-hards know they can run Android apps,” Chen said.
