Similar to the Silver Edition smartphone, the original Passport was recently spotted in multiple images running Android 5.1 Lollipop. The leaked images showed the Passport smartphone's prototype handset with Android 5.1 on top and also had "Not for Sale" tagging tipping that the company may be internally testing how Android Lollipop runs on its handset.

Back in July, a report had suggested that BlackBerry may launch more than one smartphone running Android OS.
