    Somewhere on the label behind the SIM/SD door is a three digit code, something like "F9E". Could you post yours?

    You sure there's nothing like that just above the camera?

    THANX!!How do we find that with the code? It's really old, still my battery lasts for 2 days, shows 90% health in the app. Does passport battery last that long??

    If I have it down right...

    First character is day of the month, 1 = the 1st, A = the 10th, V = the 31st, etc.

    Second character is month, 1 = January, A = October, etc.

    Third character is year, 1 = 2001, A = 2010, F = 2015, etc.

    I used to get the better part of a day with moderate to heavy use.

    Passport seems to really have a great battery life with a heavy usage which I do. In 4 years the battery life down by only 10% (health 90%). I don't think any other mobile's battery will live that long. Passports battery stays longer than keyone. I use both but using a passport, feels much better is everyway.

    Well, considering your KEYᵒⁿᵉ is doing dozens of things in the background, it's difficult to compare.

    BB10 was never particularly battery efficient, so comparing apples to apples, KEYᵒⁿᵉ/Nougat would win hands down.

    True, but a normal user won't actually think what's running. A normal user will just compare them.

    What's the oldest you have ever seen a Passport manufacturing date?

    From Googling around for pictures of the SIM/SD area, and only counting release hardware, September 3, 2014. My own launch day unit is dated September 13.

    Thanks for that Thurask. I went got out my Passports and had a look Is this coding system on all devices?

    I think they used it up until the Silver Passport. The oldest device I have on me with this code is a Z10 (M1D/January 22 2013), but I can't find the code on a PlayBook or a Classic. Googling around, I can see it on BBOS devices, even ones as old as the 7105t (HA5/October 17 2005, by the way).

    I briefly used the Passport couple months ago and currently have a KEYone, and the latter wins hands down.
    That being said, I found the Passport's battery comfortably serviceable to a full day of use, and I had quite a few Android apps installed. It was a bit better than the Priv, and ALOT better than the Classic. But the KEYone still wins, and I think a unit that is a year old will still last a bit longer than a Brand new Passport. The Motion obviously beats all of them.

    I agree, but my 2015 passport gives longer battery than 2018 keyone.
    Wondering how will the keytwo be.

    It's not.

    He's just not running anything on the Passport.

    I use pp for emails, FB lite and gbwhatsapp. So guess it consumes less battery.
