Blackberry, trying to make a huge comeback this 2014, introduces its all new flagship the Blackberry Passport. Seeing its design and shape, we don't have to ask why it was named that way. The only confirmed specs we have now are its 4.5-inch display rendering an impressive 1440 x 1440 pixel resolution at 453 ppi.
It is expected to measure 128x90.3x9.3mm, and weigh 194.4 grams, definitely surpassing the sizes of other recently release Blackberry flagships.

Meanwhile, speculations about what's inside the chassis include the Quad-core Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974-AA) processor,clocked at 2.2GHz, an Adreno 330 GPU with 3GB of RAM, and 32 GB internal storage. A microSD card slot that can hold up to 64 GB of data is also allegedly available in the Blackberry Passport (via NDTV Gadgets). It is said to come with a powerful battery life of 3450 mAh, but the power consumption of its huge display must be taken into consideration.
