Peering under the BlackBerry Z10 hood
Keywords:smartphone? baseband? LTE? GPU?
It didn't help matters that BlackBerry's last product launch was an understated one for the Playbook LTE and was met with a lukewarm response from the consumer base. Many are hoping that the staggered launch of the BlackBerry Z10 (launching first in the U.K. on Feb, 1, in Canada on Feb. 5 and in mid-March for the U.S. and other countries) won't encounter the same issues that the last high-profile BlackBerry launch (the original RIM BlackBerry Playbook) met when it was released.

A look at everything that comes in the box of the BlackBerry Z10.
The BlackBerry Z10 is the first BlackBerry handset to feature a dual-core processor. Notable is the inclusion of 2 gigabytes (GB) of internal RAM. From a "bells and whistles" perspective, the Z10 claims to feature a display of higher resolution than Apple's "Retina" technology while also incorporating an 8-megapixel auto-focus camera with backside illumination (BSI) and a 2-megapixel camera for use in video conferencing. It also features BlackBerry's answer to Apple's Facetime, called BBM Video.
