BlackBerry A10 Specs and Features.
Five inches. It's a measurement that pretty much all Android flagships this year have attained as their screen size, from the mega-popular Samsung Galaxy S4, waterproof Sony Xperia Z, budget Oppo Find 5, and even the HTC Butterfly (although not the One).
This week, slides leaked that suggested that BlackBerry's next big handset will also reach that impressive size. The phone's called the Blackberry A10, and will reportedly be the first BlackBerry to include a five inch display, albeit it at a lesser 720p resolution than the Android phones we mentioned earlier.
That's not all either. Changes on the inside are also on the cards, with a faster quad-core Snapdragon S4 Processor running at 1.7 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage plus microSD expansion. We're also expecting a much larger 2,800 mAh battery to keep things going. Connectivity is also fairly strong, with 4G LTE capabilities on top of WiFi N, NFC, Micro HDMI out and Micro USB for charging. Cameras remain unchanged from the current flagship models, with an 8 megapixel shooter on the rear and 2 megapixels up front.
One thing these slides didn't mention is a release date or price, although the slides themselves are dated May 23rd. That means that these specifications might have changed in the time since they were written - we may even see a more powerful A10 than what's been listed here!
Ultimately though, the release date will be judged against what BlackBerry's competitors are doing. With many releases targeted for this autumn - including the Galaxy Note III, iPhone 5S, HTC One Max and Sony Xperia Z Ultra - the A10 might also make a showing in this crowded launch window.
Do you think that BlackBerry need a five inch screen to compete with Android and Windows Phone? Let us know in the comments below. Thanks for reading the article and have a good one!

"Sprint, meanwhile, held off on the BlackBerry Z10 because it saw what was in the works and felt the A10 was worth the wait"
ReplyDeleteThe comment above is complete nonsense. Sprint skipped the Z10 due to the fact they previously made a massive iPhone 5 order and wanted to ensure they get sold. The BlackBerry Z10 would have posed as a threat to it's iPhone 5 sales, clearly seeing how the Z10 was a superior phone on a superior platform, so they decided to skip the Z10. Obviously Sprint and its customers lost. Rumour has it, many customers left Sprint because they did not offer the Z10.
Oh, thanks for clarifying Nikolay. I appreciate it.
