BlackBerry Porsche Design P9983

BlackBerry Porsche Design P9983

The rumors of the BlackBerry/Porsche design smartphone have finally been confirmed within the last week with the announcement of the new Porsche Design P’9983. Its sense of style is impressive with the ability to create custom wallpaper and watch face which are features stemmed from the Porsche. Unlike the BlackBerry Q10, this new Porsche designed model is a bit more angular which is a nice fresh breath of air away from the curved aesthetic that is becoming the new popular design for smartphones. The personalization, crisp design and harsh lines combined with the glass looking QWERTY keyboard, expect to turn some heads.

Iconic Design

If you’re a loyal BlackBerry customer, the iconic design of most BlackBerry devices shines though in the P9983. It includes a premium forged stainless steel frame to withstand drops and other force that would otherwise destroy it. There is also a genuine leather backing for a more premium feel, wide iconic BlackBerry keyboard which is combined flawlessly with a luxurious full touch screen. The P9983 is engineering at its finest, combining all the most desirable features and sleek design to create a one of a kind smartphone, perfect for every professional businessman.

Internal Specs

The BlackBerry Porsche Design P9983 price has not yet been determined in the Saudi Arabia but all of its predecessors were released at high end market prices so we expect this model to be as well. That’s not surprising though with a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm MSM8960 processor, 64 GB of internal memory, Dual-band Wi-Fi, a 5 MP camera, and 720p HD video recording. The P9983 supplies you with the power and technology you need to get through your day while you’re on the go. Thanks to all this power and the removable 2100 mAh lithium-ion battery, you can have up to 14 hours of talk time, 12 days on standby and up to 45 hours of audio playback time. On top of the 64 GB of internal flash storage, it can support up to 120 GB of expandable memory.

With the rear 8 MP camera, you can capture 1080p HD video recording as well as impressive photos in any setting. This is possible with the rear LED flash, face detection and image stabilization. The device also supports geo-tagging and scene modes. For the premium price of the P9983 also comes premium materials such as sapphire glass as the camera lens, increasing the overall quality. In addition there is a new front facing 2 MP camera with 3x digital zoom as well as image and video stabilization.

The Bottom Line

This one of a kind phone has everything: sleek design, impressive internal specs, and unique features. The only questionable factor at the moment is the Blackberry Porsche Design P9983 price but it’s sure to be similar to previous models alike. The battery life and camera are acceptable but not quite up to par to other smartphones available currently but the processor and memory are sure exceptional.
