BlackBerry launches Classic in India

If BlackBerry Passport was a bit wide for your taste, the Canadian company has launched a regular looking QWERTY phone in India. Aptly named the Classic, the device brings a classic keypad experience along with trackpad running BlackBerry OS 10.3.1 and when compared with BlackBerry’s yesteryear’s flagship, Bold 9900, the BlackBerry Classic boasts a three times faster web browser with 60 percent more screen space and a 50 percent longer battery life.

On the features side, the BlackBerry Classic comes with a 3.5-inch touchscreen display, 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal memory with microSD card slot, 8 megapixel main camera, 2 megapixel front-facing camera, BlackBerry Blend, BlackBerry Assistant and support for Android apps with Amazon Appstore pre-loaded onto the device.

BlackBerry will sell the Classic on Snapdeal from today for Rs. 31,990.
