A few hours ago, BlackBerry unveiled a smartphone, according to all indicators distracting from the overall number of mobile devices that we have seen lately. The new flagship of the company has a unique hybrid QWERTY-keyboard, 4.5-inch screen with an aspect ratio of 1: 1 (enable 1440h1440 pixels) and top-end features: quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 800 with a clock speed of 2.2 GHz, 3 GB RAM and 32 GB built-in memory, and battery capacity of 3450 mAh battery, which provides up to 30 hours of battery life in a mixed mode.
Shortly after the presentation of the company's official blog there were some interesting videos that show unpacking new items, work a hybrid keyboard and unique features of its work, as well as a little promo video demonstrates whom is primarily designed this phone and in what situations it may be used.
We should also talk about the keyboard. The fact that she did not like the full keyboard, which we used to see in the usual QWERTY-devices. Firstly, the mechanical buttons are combined with touch panel by swiping your finger on which you can scroll the page, move the cursor and confirm certain actions. Secondly, the panel with numbers and punctuation marks is on-screen, and appears only as needed. This saves space on the front of the unit, most of which is occupied by the screen. Thirdly, BlackBerry Passport has a system of predictive, predicting what word will follow recruits, which greatly simplifies and accelerates the set message. In addition, special gestures allow you to highlight text and perform various operations over it, without touching the screen and leaving fingerprints on it, complicating the perception of information.
It is unlikely that someone will be a secret that Passport is primarily targeted at the corporate segment, but the representatives of creative professions and even doctors will also be able to find a use for this smartphone.
BlackBerry Passport will go on sale for $ 599, and in a number of countries, to purchase it will be before the end of this year.
