BlackBerry has tried to come in the market of smartphones many times. But all effort has been in vain. But there is something up BlackBerry’s sleeve that we yet not know about. The weapon BlackBerry has is the BlackBerry Classic. The yet to be released BlackBerry Classic appeared in a number of live photos.

Images and Design
The leaked photos of the next BlackBerry flagship i.e. the BlackBerry Classic showcase the device alongside a handful of its relatives. They include BlackBerry Q10, BlackBerry Bold 9900, and the BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9981 as well.
The BlackBerry Classic, as the name suggests, will target BlackBerry traditionalists who do not like to change their smartphone habits. The handset will feature the classic trackpad, the classic menu and classic buttons. The phone will also have keys for picking up and rejecting the phone calls.
The rumored specifications of the BlackBerry Classic are also aforementioned.
The phone is expected to reveal itself at some point in November at a ominously lower price point.
