In addition, the latest version of proprietary operating system Blackberry OS 10 should solve the problem with a small number of applications. “Focus” is that it supports 98% of applications for Android.

There were fears that non-standard aspect ratio could in any way prevent them from working correctly on Blackberry Passport, but recent leaks, trapped in order n4bb, dispel them.
