Pricing and release details have not yet been announced, but the company is already displaying the product on its official website. The device features a physical keyboard, making it comparable to earlier BlackBerry models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The keyboard is relatively large and includes a shortcut bar beneath the display, along with dedicated numeric keys, eliminating the need for secondary key functions when entering numbers. This layout is intended to support faster typing. A second display is integrated into the keyboard with an always-on mode for showing the time. When the device is in active use, this display switches off but remains available for input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main display measures 5.3 inches, has a 4:3 aspect ratio, and offers a resolution of 2560 \u00d7 1920 pixels. Buyers will be able to choose between OLED and IPS panel options. The device is expected to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with 24 GB of RAM and up to 1.5 TB of storage. Its dimensions are listed as approximately 5.87 \u00d7 4.45 \u00d7 0.33 inches, and its weight is around 9.45 oz. Additional hardware features include an IR blaster, allowing the Diplomat to function as a remote control for devices such as televisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lotus Technologies has introduced the Lotus Diplomat&nbsp;smartphone, which will be funded through a crowdfunding campaign.
