Blackberry Passport

The financial condition of the company isn't looking good at the time but with a very small loss in the last quarter shows that Blackberry can still make a comback. This time around Blackberry has launched a very unusual device, the Blackberry Passport.

Blackberry Passport has a very interesting design. The design can attract some people but can also offend some people, but I like the approach of Blackberry of giving us something to think about. Blackberry Passport has the most powerful hardware Blackberry has ever produced. The Blackberry Passport has a very big 4.5" display and also has a physical QWERTY keypad. This is the design you don't see most often. The 4.5" LCD is covered by the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and has a resolution of 1440 x 1440 which makes an insane pixel density of 453ppi. 

The display isn't all, it also has a very powerful Snapdragon 800 SoC along with a 2.2 GHz processor having 4 cores. Moreover it also packs the latest Adreno 330 GPU and a 3 gigs of RAM. The camera department is also revolutionized. There is a 13MP rear camera which has Optical Image Stabilization and can shoot 1080p videos at 60 fps. The 2MP front camera comes with fixed focus. 

Blackberry Passport comes with a 32GB of in-built storage and also has Micro SD card slot. On the connectivity side the device has the LTE connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0 and also the NFC. Blackberry Passport supports only nano-SIMs. It has a 3450 mAh battery and Blackberry's CEO says that it has a battery life of 36 hours, that's insane. The passport runs on the latest Blackberry OS 10.3.

The device is already available in Canada and UK. It costs only $200 on a two year contract until 1 October in Canada, after that it'll cost $250. Blackberry Passport will also be landing in 30 more countries in the upcoming few weeks and the price for the unlocked variant is $699.
