The guys over at Into Mobile have received some information on the specifications of the BlackBerry Storm 3. It looks like the BlackBerry Storm 3 will come with a 1GHz processor, plus 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage.
Other reported specifications include LTE-capable, a five-megapixel camera, and it will be running a new OS, separate from 6.0, and it will include personalization and widgets.
Enhanced Specifications and Features
Some of the specifications do seem a bit high, although if they want to compete with the iPhone and Google Android smartphones, then they may need to release a BlackBerry with similar specifications. The inclusion of a 1GHz processor and 1GB of RAM suggests that RIM is aiming for a high-performance device capable of handling multiple applications and tasks simultaneously. The 8GB of storage, while not groundbreaking, is a decent amount for a smartphone, allowing users to store a fair number of apps, photos, and other media.
The LTE capability is particularly noteworthy as it indicates that the BlackBerry Storm 3 will support faster data speeds, which is essential for modern smartphone users who rely on their devices for streaming, browsing, and downloading content. The five-megapixel camera, while not the highest resolution available, should be sufficient for casual photography and video recording.
New Operating System and Design
The new operating system, separate from OS 6.0, is an intriguing aspect of the BlackBerry Storm 3. This suggests that RIM is developing a more advanced and possibly more user-friendly OS to compete with the likes of iOS and Android. The inclusion of personalization and widgets indicates that the new OS will offer a more customizable user experience, allowing users to tailor their home screens and settings to their preferences.
The BlackBerry Storm 3 will probably also get a completely re-designed chassis over the Storm 2, although RIM is reportedly testing the Storm 3 in a Storm 2 chassis. This redesign could mean a more modern and sleek appearance, possibly with improved ergonomics and build quality. A new chassis design could also mean better durability and a more premium feel, which are important factors for consumers when choosing a smartphone.
