BlackBerry fans it's time to get excited, a new version of the Passport is on its way, according to a new leak.
The BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition should be bringing improvements on the original Passport, and it's expected to be revealed today.
The leak came from Swiss retailer PCP where the smartphone was listed ahead of its official announcement.
The Swiss site shows the BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition in a render from which upgrades can be made out.
The design of the new handset is less angular than the last with more rounded bottom left and right edging.
The camera should also be improved. Last June CEO John Chen tweeted that an upgraded Passport with enhanced camera was coming. Now we can see a different looking camera and flash module. While the spec reads "13-megapixels, OIS, f/2.0", the same as the last model, something must have changed. There should also be a 2-megapixel front-facing selfie camera.
Other specs appear to be the same as the Passport with a 4.5-inch 1440 x 1400 screen for 453ppi. The unit is powered by a quad-core 2.2GHz Snapdragon 801 processor backed by 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage plus microSD expansion up to 128GB.
The battery should be a 3,450mAh unit and the OS is expected to be BlackBerry 10.3.2.
The BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition is expected to cost $540 which is about £345. Although it may launch in the US only, initially at least.
