It is expected that supporting the features like, providing BlackBerry Flow, BlackBerry Hub, BlackBerry Balance, and the BlackBerry Keyboard will be a part of this launch. BlackBerry Hub will be major part of the latest features for the upcoming OS. As the name suggests, HUB is the area where all messages, notifications, feeds, and calendar events can be viewed.
