Blackberry Q20 Release Date, Specs: Smartphone Maker Back In the Game with BlackBerry Classic

The Canadian QWERTY phone maker is back in the game with the announcement of a line of BlackBerry phones, including the Blackberry Classic, which will reportedly launch this November.

The BlackBerry Q20 or BlackBerry Classic, which was first announced back in June, is now ready to launch in November, returning with BlackBerry's signature navigation keys, trackpad and the QWERTY keyboard which has made it popular among businessmen wanting to send emails and create documents on the move.

Some of the details about the BlackBerry Classic were announced by CEO John Chen at the simultaneous global launching event of a series of Blackberry phones including the newest BlackBerry Passport at Toronto, London and Dubai on Sept. 24.

"There's a new product called the BlackBerry Classic that's coming out. It's an updated and enhanced version of one of our most popular and successful products called the Bold," Chen stated.

"It will include a keyboard and a good touch-screen, very fast Internet, Web-browsing capability and multimedia capability. But also it will be very productive and very secure," he said.

The iconic keyboard had a major upgrade as that of the Classic will extend across the edge of the device, making it easier and more comfortable to type on.

Aside from that, the BlackBerry Classic is said to run on the latest software created by the Canadian smartphone maker, the BlackBerry 10.3, according to GSMArena.

The device will reportedly sport an impressive 13-megapixel camera, and a 3.5 inch capacitive touch-screen display with a resolution of 720 x 720 pixels.

It will allegedly run on a Dual-core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor and have 2 GB RAM Internal memory and microSD slot up to 64 GB.

With the release of its new series of phones, Chen remains positive that the Canadian tech company will be able to and once again capture its businessmen-centered market and have a successful comeback in the smartphone industry currently won over by electronics giant, Apple Inc.
