BlackBerry has launched a non-camera variant of the Classic QWERTY smartphone exclusively for the Verizon Wireless mobile carrier. The handset might be a great option for some users who are not allowed to carry a smartphones with cameras to office due to the potential risk of leaking documents.

The BlackBerry Classic Non Camera is now available to pre-order at Verizon starting at $99.99 (approximately Rs. 6,200) with a two-year contract while is also available unlocked at $399.99 (approximately Rs. 24,700). The original BlackBerry Classic smartphone was unveiled globally in December and was priced at $499 (roughly Rs. 30,800).

Both the camera and non-camera models of the BlackBerry Classic smartphone feature identical specifications except that the latter doesn't include cameras - rear and front.

The BlackBerry Classic (Review | Pictures) QWERTY smartphone features a 3.5-inch display with a screen resolution of 720x720 pixels offering a pixel density of 294ppi.

The smartphone is powered by a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus (MSM8960) processor alongside 2GB of RAM. It comes with 16GB built-in storage, which is further expandable via microSD card (up to 128GB). The BlackBerry Classic Non Camera is powered by BlackBerry OS 10.3.1, which was rolled out earlier this month.

The handset includes Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, GPRS/ EDGE, GPS/ A-GPS, Glonass, Bluetooth, and NFC connectivity options. It packs accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, proximity, ambient light, and hall sensors.

Unlike the global variant that packs 2515mAh battery, the BlackBerry Classic QWERTY smartphone launched exclusively at Verizon includes 2500mAh non-removable battery.
