SlideShow: Check out the new BlackBerry Passport Silver edition

Photos by Alex Davies

While we've not been able to review or test the new BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition, contributor Alex Davies got to spend some quality time with the new and improved variant of BlackBerry's work-wide device. What's new aside from the colour change are the new textured back which is grippier. The camera now has a metal bezel which protects the glass from touching the surface. 

The more refined build and finish is apparent and similar in look to the AT&T version of the Passport that was released early this year.  BB10 version 10.3.2. is also preinstalled. Here's our review of the original BlackBerry Passport.

All the Nexus 6P details leaked in review document

While a few days away from launch (and likely, subsequent short online supplies), Google's newest Nexus devices have already been leaked in various renders and documents, but not like this. A complete reviewer's guide was leaked recently and made available on Imgur. 

Designed to focus on talking points for product reviewers, the document explains and confirms many of the features coming to the Nexus 6P including a unibody construction, fingerprint reader, improved camera and sensors, USB Type-C charging port and Android Marshmallow preinstalled. What isn't discussed in the document is the price, which will be the biggest factor whether users will flock to the new Nexus devices or consider other mid-range options from the likes of Motorola, HTC, OnePlus and others.
