14 DAY TRIAL // With just one day remaining until BlackBerry Passport is supposed to go official, the first video demo of another upcoming smartphone to be released by the Canadian company, the BlackBerry Classic, has just leaked online.
The comprehensive video demo comes via @DHabkirk and includes some of the most important aspects of the BlackBerry Classic, such as design, camera and audio tests, trackpad navigation and more.
Those who aren’t that excited about the Passport and decided to wait for the BlackBerry Classic may want to know that the latter is still on track for a November release.
BlackBerry Classic is expected to pack a 4-row QWERTY keyboard and a small 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display. It features a classic BlackBerry design, hence the name.
Hardware-wise, the device is expected to be equipped with a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor and 2GB of RAM. There’s no word on the amount of storage yet, but as shown in the video, the smartphone features microSD card slot for memory expansion.
The Classic is a mid-range handset aimed at nostalgic fans who want something to remind them of the old BlackBerry smartphones that made history several years ago.
BlackBerry has yet to officially announce the Classic, but the smartphone was shown by the company’s CEO John Chen a few months ago. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
