At BlackBerry's Annual Meeting, the Chief Operating Officer of the Canadian smartphones and tablet making company, John Chen shows their two new devices to the Press media present at the event. Well, we may not yet call this an official announcement from BlackBerry, for the smartphones that the CEO showed a couple of days back, but he definitely unveiled what's yet to come from this manufacturer next.
And with this two new releases, the firm is trying to hold back their position in the global smartphone market, it's not everywhere you see people carrying a BB handset, like it did in the past. But unfortunately, we haven't got our hands on to the complete list of it's internal specification details of the devices you see from both above and below photographs, just yet.
So, first is an 'awkward' looking handsome smartphone, named BlackBerry Passport, which has got an interesting shape and hardware. The phablet like new phone is more than just the squared word, packing a 4.5-inches capacitive square touchscreen of 1400 x 1400 resolution display, and a three row hardware physical QWERTY keyboard below the handset. The phone is expected to sport an improved Quad-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC with 4G LTE network capability and running BlackBerry operating system 10.1 out of the box. The phone is tipped to arrive later this year, we hear some dates of the month September.
Another units is dubbed as the new BlackBerry Classic, which is a successor handset to the company's previously announced smartphone from their 'Q' line-up of devices, which includes the high-end Q10 and middle-ranged Q5. The phone almost resembles the firm's old, Bold 9900 handset, with that chrome rim going through the sides of the chassis. This brand phone you see above will to have the same BlackBerry's traditional QWERTY hardware keyboard and optical trackball, and on top of that sits a 3.5-inches in diagonal capacitive touchscreen of the aforementioned pixels rate. We also hope this model to tot the same Quad-Core Snapdragon 800 processor, LTE network support with latest BlackBerry OS on top. These specific smartphone is mentioned for a November launch.
