- The team behind BlackBerry Classic’s Android revival is now working on a similar project for the BlackBerry Passport.
- Zinwa Technologies, the team behind the project, plans to sell DIY kits that will allow users to run Android on the Passport.
- The kits aren’t available immediately, but will be available sometime in 2026, which is slightly disappointing.
Old, discarded BlackBerry phones are having a renaissance moment. We recently witnessed an initiative where decade-old BlackBerry Classic phones are being revived with newer hardware to run Android on those devices. And now, the BlackBerry Passport is in for a similar treatment.
Zinwa Technologies is the company that has recently started reviving old BlackBerry Classic handsets by installing new hardware and running Android 13 on them. Now that BlackBerry Classic mods are already in mass production, the company is shifting its attention to other products. It had previously promised to provide DIY kits for enthusiasts who wish to revive their old BlackBerry Passport, and has now updated the information about availability on its Discord server (via Liliputing).
