BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9981
BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9981 is a model released in December 2011. It has a 2.8 inch TFT capacitive touch screen with a 640 x 480 pixel resolution. Powered by a single core processor at 1.2 GHz, this model is basically the 9900 but in a new chassis with different trimmings. One of the visible changes is the reposition of the microSD slot under the battery. Overall, the device looks unique and different and a user can’t be without an opinion – most of us either hate it or love it. Importanty, the phone has an aluminum frame – a single piece of metal that makes the phone sturdy. BlackBerry Porsche Design P9981 is heavier than the 9900 due to its metal body. It weighs 155 grams and measures 115 x 67 x 11.3 mm. The phone is running a Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.2 GHz supported by 768 MB of RAM. The added speed compared with the old-gen models such as 9700 and 9780 is noticeable. Overall, this model is very fast and reliable with an excellent screen with crisp and clear image plus accurate colors. The pixel density is excellent – 287ppi. The P9981 comes with 8 GB of storage and a microSD slot. The battery is 1230 mAH. | |
