Nokia Express Music vs BlackBerry Priv: QWERTY smartphones!

With Nokia being confirmed to come back to the smartphone market next year, new concepts for Nokia phones have emerged. One very interesting concept is the Nokia Express Music 2017. Let’s have Nokia Express Music vs BlackBerry Priv, another QWERTY smartphone!

Nokia Express Music vs BlackBerry Priv: Designs and specs

From the first look, both phones have elegant and high-class designs, and that is where we will start off this Nokia Express Music vs BlackBerry Priv battle. The Nokia Express Music series has been very successful during Nokia’s peak in the past, so of course the new concept tried to stick with the established designs, with a little unique touch. The Nokia phone has a unibody, and quite thick as well, along with a keyboard under the screen. Meanwhile, the BlackBerry phone also looks unibody, but with a little ridge under the screen. It also has a sliding keyboard. These phones sure is reminiscent of the old times!

Next will be the specs in this Nokia Express Music vs BlackBerry Priv battle. Nokia Express Music specs include 4GB of RAM, while he Priv only has 3GB of RAM. Another of BlackBerry Priv specs is its expandable 32GB of ROM (+ 256GB max), while the Nokia phone has 64GB ROM. The Priv is powered by Snapdragon 808 chipset. While the chipset of the Nokia phone is unknown, we suspect it would be about the same as the Priv. So, performance wise, these phones are quite similar to each other, with Nokia Express Music edging it out by a little with a larger RAM.

Camera wise, the Nokia phone has a primary 18MP camera, with the famous Carl Zeiss lens technology. The camera of Priv is also 18MP, with Schneider-Kreuznach optics. It’s hard to say which one is winnner here. However, the Nokia phone beats Priv in the selfie department, offering 8MP front snapper compared to the Priv’s 2MP one. Express Music runs on Windows 8 Mobile OS, while Priv uns on Android 5.1.1, upgradable to 6.0. The Express Music actually comes with a very impressive wireless headphone, while Priv only has standard package, so the Nokia phone also wins here.

Nokia Express Music vs BlackBerry Priv: Price

Last but not least is the price of each phone. BlackBerry Priv price is now only $299.99. While the Nokia Express Music price is unknown, it is expected to be higher. We will only know by Q2 of 2017. Overall, the Nokia phone edges out the Priv in this contest with a little better specs, and the obviously better additional headphone!
