The Blackberry Classic or Q20 was announced before the Blackberry Passport, possessing similar specs as the latter.
However, unlike the Passport, not a lot of details have surfaced about the device other than what BlackBerry has told us—which mostly is the fact that it would be bringing the physical tool-band of hardware keys (call keys, back and a menu key) along with a track pad back. It would be the first BlackBerry 10 device to feature those keys.
Thanks to Geekbench though, we can now tell that the device would have a dual core processor clocked at 1.5Ghz and 2GB RAM. This puts it on par with the international variants of the Z10, Q10 and Z30 in that department.

Geekbench benchmark, gives it a score of 500 points, ahead of the BlackBerry Z10’s score of 453 even though they both are running pretty much the same hardware.
There is a chance the performance difference is down to better-optimized software, as the Classic is running a much newer OS—BlackBerry 10.3.1.317.
We’d probably get some more details of the BlackBerry Classic as the launch date approaches; let us know if anyone fancies this one.
