A square 1440x1440 display is the first thing you'll notice, and it's paired with a physical QWERTY keyboard, something you won't find on most phones today. The Snapdragon 801 chipset with 3GB RAM handles BlackBerry OS 10.3 without fuss, and 32GB of onboard storage expands up to 128GB via microSD.

The 13MP rear camera adds optical image stabilization and shoots 1080p video at 60fps, a solid spec for its time. A 3450 mAh battery backs it all up, which is generous for a 4.5-inch screen. BlackBerry Passport price in Malaysia starts from RM899.

You get NFC, GPS with GLONASS, dual-band Wi-Fi and LTE support too, plus the keyboard doubles as a trackpad for scrolling. It's a distinct alternative if you're after something other than a slab of glass.
