BlackBerry 10

BlackBerry Z10

The Z10 - formerly known as the BlackBerry London and L-Series - features a 4.2-inch four point multi-touch LCD display with a 1280 x 768 screen resolution, equating to 356 DPI.

The handset also features a dual-core 1.5GHz processor with 2GB of RAM. That isn't Galaxy S3 standards of speed, but then BB10 is a bit less of a processor hog than Android.

As for the rest of the hardware, the Z10 ships with 16GB of internal memory, expandable with a microSD card. Then there is a 2100mAh battery inside which keeps things ticking over and, given its size and the processor's power, should last longer than a day.

The phone will weigh around 125g and is 130 x 65 x 9mm in size. Fairly pocketable then. On the back there will be an 8-megapixel camera and on the front a 1.9-megapixel offering.

The phone will also ship in white, but only from Phones 4u initially as it has a limited time exclusive. Bluetooth 4.0 is included along with Wi-Fi a/b/g/n and, crucially, a 4G mobile hotspot option, handy for those who opt for EE.
