After initially revealing the much awaited smartphone, BlackBerry has officially announced the BlackBerry Passport.
BlackBerry has announced the launch of the BlackBerry Passport, which is the company’s unique high-end smartphone. The phone has a boxed shaped design with a wide portrait screen, which according to the company would suit productivity better than any other narrow screen in the market, hence being ideal for enterprise users. While there is a three row QWERTY keyboard, the phone also has touch enabled keys.
The BlackBerry Passport has a 4 inch display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection and super high resolution of 1440 x 1440 pixels which results in a 453 ppi density. Despite being a high-end smartphone, the device is powered by the almost outdated Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.2 GHz but with a massive 3 GB of RAM.
The BlackBerry Passport has a 13 MP rear facing camera with 6DOF OIS, BSI sensor and a 5-element f/2.0 lens. There is also a front facing 2 MP fixed focus camera. The device runs on the latest BlackBerry OS version 10.3 with a massive 3450 mAh battery. The handset is priced at $599. We also expect the handset to be launched in India early next week.
