BlackBerry gets ready to launch new device in two weeks

If you’re still keen on BlackBerry, get ready to get excited because the company is getting ready to launch a new device in two weeks time — no prizes on what it will be.

Come September 24, BlackBerry will lift the covers of what is likely to be the Passport, The Passport marks a different approach for BlackBerry in its pursuit to strike a balance between having a physical QWERTY keyboard for its die-hard fans and a large touchscreen display to entice new users to jump on board the BB bandwagon. The device is also spotted on the SIRIM database which means it’s coming to Malaysia very soon.

Based on leaks, the Passport features square 4.5-inch display 1440×1440 pixel pushing an impressive 452ppi. Underneath the display is a simplified 3-row QWERTY keyboard with an integrated hidden touchpad for quick one-handed navigation. There’s an extensive hands-on here if you’re curious. Other rumoured specs include a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor with 3GB of RAM, there’s also a 13MP main camera and a 2MP front facing unit, and a large 3,450mAh battery. On the software side, the Passport is expected to be released with BlackBerry 10.3 complete with BlackBerry Assistant voice navigation.
