The new Passport smartphone design by [BlackBerry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unihertz-titan-2) offers business clients the chance to better see Word documents and spreadsheets thanks to a [large squared screen display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huawei-mate-x7). While the size and shape of this mobile device seems a bit awkward, the concept of making a wider screen to view business documents is rather beneficial for those that use their smartphone to view these types of files.

The Passport mobile device comes with a 4.5-inch screen embedded with high resolution display. The smartphone still comes with BlackBerry's [signature Qwety keyboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/communicator) that adds quite a bit of bulkiness to the smartphone's overall design. The phone boarders on the size of a tablet more so than a cellphone. If you plan on picking up a new smartphone for answering emails and viewing business-related documents then the Passport might be ideal for you.
