BlackBerry has showcased two new smartphones, named as BlackBerry
Passport and BlackBerry Classic. The upcoming Blackberry Passpost has a
rectangular design just like the BlackBerry Z3 while the Blackberry
Classic bears more of a previous generation BlackBerry device look. John
Shen, chief executive officer of BlackBerry, briefly showed off the two
smartphones on the sidelines of the company's Earnings Call.
BlackBerry Passport indirectly imitates the Passport in terms of size
and offers best of both words - large touchscreen and keyboard. Unlike
previous generations, the BlackBerry Passport has 4-inch display with
1440x1440 pixel resolution and a three row straight
QWERTY
keypad with metal frets between the rows. This smartphone will be
powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 mobile chipset paired
with massive 3 GB RAM inside.
At the rear, BlackBerry has placed a 13 megapixel camera with LED
flash and a huge 3450 mAh battery to make it last for long hours once
charged. The most distinct feature of the Passport would be the lack of
Symbol keys and only three row QWERTY keyboard. In a way, it reminds us
of a stretched out Nokia E61 smartphone.
BlackBerry Classic is the amazing marriage of the Bold 9900 design
with that of the Q10/Q5 design. The Classic carries Bold 9900's four row
QWERTY keyboard with metal frets between. Meanwhile the side and rear
profile of the phone with well rounded corners will remind you of the Q5
and Q10. The BlackBerry Classic has a 3.5-inch screen.
Both devices are expected to arrive with the BlackBerry 10.3 OS update scheduled for fall.
