BlackBerry Classic, one of the upcoming smartphones to be launched by the Canadian company, is still a mystery when it comes with hardware configuration. The company’s CEO John Chen confirmed that the smartphone will be launched this year, but did not share too many details regarding the Classic’s specs sheet. Well, not anymore.

According to these results, BlackBerry Classic will be powered by dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.5GHz, as well as 2GB of RAM.
