BlackBerry Classic, one of the upcoming smartphones to be launched by the Canadian company, is still a mystery when it comes with hardware configuration.

The company’s CEO John Chen confirmed that the smartphone will be launched this year, but did not share too many details regarding the Classic’s specs sheet.

Well, not anymore. The folks over at N4BB have just spotted the smartphone’s benchmark scores, along with some of its specs in Geekbench Browser’s database.

According to these results, BlackBerry Classic will be powered by dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.5GHz, as well as 2GB of RAM. These are the same specs as the BlackBerry Z10, but the Classic seems to have achieved a better score than the former.

While the BlackBerry Z10 has been listed with a score of 453, the Classic managed to hit 500 points in Geekbench Browser benchmark. The reasons are unknown for the moment, but more details on the phone’s specs could shed some light on this one.

BlackBerry Classic is the spiritual successor of the Q10, which means it will pack a full QWERTY keyboard. The smartphone is expected to arrive on the market sometime in November, but an exact release date has yet to be announced.
