BlackBerry's third Porsche-pal smartphone is readying up for launch, and we're now privy to host of new handset details thanks to Indian tech site BBIN. The Porsche Design P'9983 is tipped to be a luxury blower (read: paycheque price-tag) that will follow the earlier P'9982, a Z10 revamp.
The new device is expected to sport the BB Q10's innards with a ritzy Porsche exterior that looks to justify an expected price hike. So, onto the specs then. Visuals will be beamed to your retinas by a 720 x 720 OLED display measuring a typically BB-esque teeny 3.1-in corner-to-corner. The display is touchscreen, naturally, but the device will also rock BlackBerry's usual physical QWERTY keyboard.
The P'9983 will make use of a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, and will tout a respectable 64GB of built-in storage. Snapping potential comes courtesy of an 8MP rear-facing camera with 5x digital zoom, autofocus, and image stabilisation. A front-facing selfie shooter measures up at a smaller 2MP, but also boasts image stabilisation alongside 3x digital zoom.
The device will chug juice from a 2100mAh li-ion battery, expected to be removeable for spare-carrying power users. Other notable features include 4G connectivity, a raft of sensors including accelerometer and proximity, GPS tracking, and BlackBerry's 10.3 OS.
BlackBerry's product roadmap was leaked earlier this week, revealing that the Porsche handset, codename Khan, would be releasing towards the end of Q3 this year.
