The launch date for the long awaited BlackBerry 10 line of smartphones is getting closer day by day. As the big date approaches, the internet is abuzz with the latest leaks and information on the two new BlackBerry smartphones which will be the first to use the new BB10 mobile operating system.
Research in Motion, the Canada based firm behind BlackBerry is hoping that the new smartphones will help it regain its lost market share to fierce rivals, Apple, Samsung and Nokia. The BlackBerry Z10 and X10 will be the first two smartphones available to run on the new BB10 operating system.
The Z10 will be the flagship launch device for the BlackBerry 10 operating system and according to RIM’s training material that has been leaked on the internet, the Z10 packs a powerful punch.
With a 4.2 inch large display delivering a high definition resolution of 1280×768, the Z10 will deliver a beautiful screen result for new users. The high definition resolution delivers 355 pixels per inch, greater than those delivered by Apple’s latest iPhone 5.
Like most new smartphones, the Z10 also packs NFC technology allowing the device to send files, links and other information to NFC enabled smartphones. Additionally RIM has also done a deal with Visa to allow customers to pay for goods by tapping their phones on the till.
According to leaked specifications, the Z10 will boast 16GB of memory, 2GB of Ram and a large 1,800mAh battery.
This is RIM’s final opportunity to become relevant again in the smartphone market and the Canadian mobile giant will be hoping for a big consumer response to its new BB10 line of smartphones.
