BlackBerry Classic, 3.5-inch display & optical trackpad

PRICE 22 DECEMBER, 2014

The Classic upgrades the Q10 with a touch of the old Blackberry experience. The latest Blackberry 10 device brings back the classic navigation buttons and an optical trackpad. You could make and receive calls with the efficiency of dedicated buttons or navigate through onscreen content via an improved trackpad. With this handset, Blackberry gets rid of touch dependence that restrained the Q10 from being an ideal productivity tool the company had wished for.


Blackberry Classic
The display has grown from 3.1 inches on the Q10 to 3.5 inches on the Classic. With Blackberry’s new operating system that focuses on minimalism, the display appears to have grown even more. It’s a perfect square display with a resolution of 720 x 720 pixels and 294 ppi in pixel density. Blackberry settled for this shape in order to give users a spacious viewing experience for documents and webpages. The device has significantly grown in proportions over the Q10 but one-handed operation is still easily possible.

The keyboard is almost a complete replica of the one on Q10. You have sculpted keys with metal frets separating each row. With the enlargement of the device, the keyboard has grown equally wide. You should be able to accomplish tasks fast and easily via shortcuts embedded inside Blackberry 10. The trackpad comes in handy when you need to scroll through texts but you can also achieve this using the keyboard’s space key. For those completely stuck on Android and other platforms, this experience sadly cannot be compared to anything else out there.

The loudspeaker on the Blackberry Classic doesn’t disappoint at all. It’s large and loud and despite being mono manages excellent audio. This gives you a better chance to hear notifications when they arrive. Designed for reliable communication, the speakers are fine-tuned so that calls don’t crackle at high volumes. Blackberry has fitted in a 2515mAh battery which is about 20% larger than the one on its predecessor. This promises up to 17 hours of 3G talk time and roughly a day of mixed use.

All the same, the stylish Blackberry Classic has a few skeletons in the closet. For starters, the non-removable battery could be a major disappointment for heavy users who probably need to carry a spare battery for the day but now can’t. Otherwise, it is an improvement over the one on Q10 offering a significant boost in 3G talk time. The display has also been downgraded from OLED to an LCD panel. This gives you very decent outdoors visibility at the expense of color intensity and battery economy of the Q10.
