BlackBerry 9720’s supposed images have been spotted online while BlackBerry A10 code-named Aristo’s alleged specifications have been revealed by online tech publication BGR.
The report further mentions that the BlackBerry A10 or Aristo will be the next most powerful device from the company and will focus on gaming. The A10 is expected to boast a large 5.0-inch display.
However, BlackBerry has never released a device with a screen larger than 4.2-inch (the BlackBerry Z10) and so the BlackBerry A10 would indeed become the smartphone with the largest display in BlackBerry’s portfolio. Other alleged features include a dual-core processor and 2GB of RAM.
The site also claims that the BlackBerry A10 would feature the same silicon structure as that of the iPhone, however separate CPU and GPU processors are expected to be used unlike the latte. The BlackBerry A10 is expected to be launched sometime later this fall.
The BlackBerry 9720 runs BlackBerry OS 7, the company’s legacy OS that has been replaced by the new BlackBerry 10 OS on flagship devices. The 9720 is likely to be the upgraded version of BlackBerry Bold 9700 targeting users in the emerging markets.
Recently, the BlackBerry 9720 had leaked online with purported images of the phone appearing on the Internet, earlier this week.
As a part of their global roll-out, BlackBerry is all set to launch its third BlackBerry 10 device, the BlackBerry Q5 in India, next week. The company has already sent out invites for the upcoming event which is scheduled for July 16.
