Description
The BlackBerry Passport is a pure productivity machine, and emblematic of the company’s professional, business-focused mindset. It’s packing powerful hardware, a slew of clever features, and a great foundation in BlackBerry OS 10.3.
The 4.5-inch BlackBerry Passport is about the same size and shape as an S.A passport. That squat, distinctive square shape will certainly grab everyone’s attention while you’re tapping out missives or holding it up against your face. And at 6.9 ounces (just under half a pound or 196 grams) the phone is light, but still feels solid.
The square 4.5-inch display has a 1,440×1,440-pixel resolution, with a pixel density of 453 pixels per inch. It’s a gorgeous screen but the width is key here, as the Passport can show about 60 characters on every line.
The Passport greets you with a standard swipe-to-unlock lock screen. New messages and notifications will show up here, and you can expand them to see what they say directly on the home screen.
The Passport certainly carries a spec sheet to put performance buffs at ease. With a Quad-core 2.26GHz Snapdragon 801 chip and 3GB of RAM, it’s easily the most robust BlackBerry smartphone to date. The 4.5-inch square display is also of an impressive 1440 x 1440px, which results in an excellent 453ppi.
