In addition to the price, the BlackBerry Q10 release date in the UK has also received a mention, even as Clove has graced the manufacturer’s second BB10-powered handset with a retail value of £445.83, excluding taxes. Combined with VAT however, the smartphone will amount to £534.99. By the looks of it, April 26 will mark the arrival of not just the Samsung Galaxy S4, but also the device in question.
Shedding some light on the properties of the device, it follows the company’s age-old tradition of incorporating a QWERTY keypad, unlike the Z10. While the typing mat takes over the bottom half of the smartphone’s front panel, the top portion is dominated by a 3.1-inch Super AMOLED touch display, putting forth visuals at a resolution of 720 x 720 pixels.
With respect to memory however, e-retailers across the expanse seem to disagree on the expandability options. While Carphone Warehouse and Clove state that the smartphone will support a 32GB microSD card, Unlocked Mobiles outlines 64GB as the maximum storage capacity. In any case, they all have the same opinion regarding the 16GB onboard hoarding space.
Moving on, 2GB of RAM will be assisting a 1.5GHz dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor. An 8MP camera will find its way onto the device’s rear panel and pack features such as auto focus and dual LED flash. A 2MP webcam has been squeezed into the space above the screen and it is capable of capturing videos at 720p. A 2,100mAh battery and connectivity attributes including Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, mobile tethering as well as NFC should round up as the handset’s additional highlights.
The BlackBerry Q10 is up for pre-booking at a bunch of online outlets at present. It has arrived on the Carphone Warehouse and Expansys websites without a retail tag, but Unlocked Mobiles has promised to sell it at a discounted rate of £529.98.
Let’s take note of the significant specifications that the smartphone will be incorporating:
– BB10 OS
