Editorial note

The BlackBerry Passport stands out with several compelling features. Its high-resolution screen of 1440 x 1440 pixels provides optimal display quality, ideal for an immersive visual experience. Additionally, the 2.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor ensures fast and smooth performance, particularly appreciated by demanding users. The 3450 mAh battery is another major asset, allowing for extended battery life, which is essential for daily use without the need for frequent recharging. The full AZERTY keyboard also adds a touch of practicality, enhancing productivity. However, the BlackBerry Passport has some notable drawbacks. While the physical keyboard is an advantage for some, it may not suit users accustomed to fully touch-sensitive keyboards, making the transition difficult. The internal storage capacity of 32 GB may prove insufficient for those who need a lot of space, even though expansion via MicroSD is possible. Furthermore, the BlackBerry OS 10 operating system lacks applications compared to Android and iOS, thus limiting the user experience. The weight of 196 g may also be perceived as a bit heavy, and the resolution of the front camera at 2 MP is relatively low, which may disappoint those looking to capture quality selfies. In summary, the BlackBerry Passport offers good value for money with solid performance and impressive battery life. However, its limitations in storage and applications, as well as its square design, may not suit everyone.
