Passport is expected to be the company's flagship this year and looking at the design it actually looks like one. An important thing to note on Passport is the lack of punctuation and numeric keys on the keyboard.
Classic on the other hand will come with a traditional QWERTY keyboard that Blackberry users are quite familiar with.
A closer look at Passport
Passport has a 4.5-inch display with a resolution of 1440x1440 which makes it a square unlike other smartphone of rectangular shape which we are accustomed of seeing. Its square display makes it quite wide at 3.18-inches making it wider than Samsung's Galaxy Note 3.

Even though specifications are not released officially but its rumored to be powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 800 with Adreno 330 GPU and 3GB of RAM. It will be launched at a London event in September. It's now available on Amazon for a price of INR 49,990.
