BlackBerry Passport Now Official: 4.5-Inch Square Display, BB10.3 OS, 13 MP OIS Camera and More
After months of rumors, BlackBerry on Wednesday - finally launched the BlackBerry Passport in an aim to win over the enterprise market. The square shaped BlackBerry Passport has a 4.5-inch touchscreen display with touch-sensitive keyboard.
The newly launched handset is primarily meant to cater high-profile senior executives and elite business class. The BlackBerry Passport is now available in the U.S and other prominent markets, including Canada, the UK, France and Germany.
The unlocked version of the BlackBerry Passport is priced at $599 or Rs. 36,000. The company says the BlackBerry Passport is coming to 30 more countries later this year. Apparently BlackBerry is hosting an event in India early next week, where the firm might showcase the BlackBerry Passport. The odd-looking handset is expected to cost upwards of Rs. 45,000.
BlackBerry has been struggling in the consumer market for quite long. Its last few flagship handsets, including the Q10, wasn't been a huge success. But at the press conference held in Toronto, London and Dubai simultaneously, the company to some extent clarified that they would be entirely focusing on enterprise market. BlackBerry is betting big on the device's extra large screen, long battery life and dedicated keys.
BlackBerry Passport - Key Specifications
Specs-wise, the BlackBerry Passport has a 4.5-inch diagonal display with a resolution of 1440 x 1440-pixels. The phone's display is designed in such a way to make more room for editing texts or spreadsheets. Like previous generation BlackBerry phones, this very handset does come with a physical keyboard with touch capability.
Other highlighted specs of the BlackBerry Passport include a 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of native storage, BlackBerry 10.3 OS, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, a microSD card slot, a 3,450mAh battery.
Software is still a big issue in front of BlackBerry. The firm has failed completely to revamp the BlackBerry store. To date there are few apps made available on the store.
It seems that the BlackBerry Passport is a premium device, with more focus on select business class rather than the consumer market.
Stay tuned to GizBot for more updates on the latest smartphone.
