Blackberry 10 and BBM Leaked Images and Specs

BlackBerry 10 is round the corner. Details regarding the BlackBerry 10 operating have been mildly out in the open. However, little has been known regarding the first BlackBerry 10 all-touch smartphone and the eventual physical keyboard iteration, until now.

N4BB brings us some more details:

BlackBerry L-series:

  • 768×1280 screen resolution
  • 55mm wide*
  • 356 PPI

If you’ve had the opportunity to use a Dev Alpha, you’ll realize the amazing screen quality. The BlackBerry 10 L-series will even beat the iPhone4/S’ retina display, but you’re eyes might not really be able to tell the difference.

BlackBerry N-series:

  • 720×720 screen resolution
  • 52 – 53mm wide*
  • 330 PPI

The BlackBerry N-series, which was previously codenamed Nevada, will be the first BlackBerry 10 device with a physical QWERTY keyboard. Think of this device as the BlackBerry 10 Bold. The first N-series is said to use OLED screen technology, but later releases may use LCD display.

N4BB, which has been on a roll lately with BlackBerry 10 scoops, has obtained some images showing what RIM’s BBM app will look like on the new BlackBerry 10 operating system. Among other things, N4BB notes that the new BBM will feature a darker theme and colors that will save battery life on BlackBerry 10 devices by an estimated 25%, while “optimization to take advantage of the OLED screen… could decrease upwards of 75% battery consumption.”
