We just saw some leaked photos of the new BlackBerry Oslo and now BlackBerry has dropped the price of the BlackBerry Passport in the US and Canada.
BlackBerry has reduced the price of the unlocked BlackBerry Passport in the US by $50 to $449 and in Canada by $100 CAD to $599 CAD.
Limited Time Offer
The price drop has been listed on BlackBerry’s website in the US and Canada, and it looks like the reduced price of the handset is only available for a limited time. This strategic move by BlackBerry could be an effort to clear out inventory before the launch of new models or to make the Passport more competitive in the market. The BlackBerry Passport, known for its unique square design and physical keyboard, has been a favorite among business professionals who value productivity and security.
Features and Specifications
The BlackBerry Passport boasts a 4.5-inch square display with a resolution of 1440 x 1440 pixels, providing a sharp and clear viewing experience. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, coupled with 3GB of RAM, ensuring smooth performance for multitasking and running demanding applications. The device also includes 32GB of internal storage, which can be expanded via a microSD card slot, giving users ample space for their files and media.
One of the standout features of the BlackBerry Passport is its physical QWERTY keyboard, which not only offers tactile feedback but also doubles as a touch-sensitive trackpad. This allows users to navigate the interface, scroll through web pages, and select text with ease. The keyboard also supports customizable shortcuts, enhancing productivity for power users.
In terms of camera capabilities, the BlackBerry Passport is equipped with a 13-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization, enabling users to capture high-quality photos and videos even in low-light conditions. The front-facing camera is a 2-megapixel shooter, suitable for video calls and selfies.
The device runs on BlackBerry 10 OS, which offers a range of productivity features such as BlackBerry Hub, a unified inbox for all communications, and BlackBerry Blend, which allows users to access their messages and content from their computer or tablet. Additionally, the Passport supports Android apps through the Amazon Appstore, providing users with access to a wide range of applications.
