BlackBerry released its latest operating system (OS) the BlackBerry 10 in January this year along with the BlackBerry Z10 and the BlackBerry Q10 running the OS. Now it seems that the Canadian company is on the verge of launching another QWERTY handset, the BlackBerry R10, running on the latest OS as pictures and specifications have leaked online.
Previously, a red variant of the BlackBerry R10 made a appearance but details of the specifications were unknown. However, recently pictures of the handset have leaked with some hardware specifications of the R10.
Chinese website DGtle has leaked a few pictures of the device and says that the handset will be a mid-level one. DGtle also reveals the following specifications expected to feature in the upcoming BlackBerry R10:
3.1-inch display, 720 x 720 resolution
5-megapixel rear camera and a front camera
Support to shoot up to 2560 x 1920 resolution photos
2GB of RAM
8GB internal storage
1800 mAh non-removable Battery
BlackBerry 10.1 OS
The QWERTY-style BlackBerry Q10 has a higher price tag than the all-touch BlackBerry Z10. Mobile phone customers who prefer a QWERTY-style handset and are looking for a pocket-friendly device may want to buy the BlackBerry R10 when launched.
BlackBerry has not officially announced the BlackBerry R10. In the world of touchscreens and bigger displays, it will be interesting to see if BlackBerry is able to find a room for the upcoming R10.
