RIM recently announced that they would be launching their new BlackBerry 10 OS on the 30th of January 2013, and we heard earlier today that RIM is expecting to launch their new BB10 devices shortly after the release of the OS.
There will be two devices available, one with a physical QWERTY keyboard similar to the BlackBerry Bold, and a full touchscreen device, which is expected to be the BlackBerry L-Series or the BlackBerry London, have a look at the photo below.
This is not the first time we have seen the BlackBerry L-Series smartphone, although this is the first time we have seen it next to Apple’s iPhone 5, so we can now get an idea of the size of the handset.
Features and Specifications
The BlackBerry 10 OS is expected to bring a host of new features and improvements over previous versions. Some of the anticipated features include a new user interface, enhanced multitasking capabilities, and a more robust app ecosystem. The physical QWERTY keyboard device is likely to appeal to traditional BlackBerry users who prefer tactile feedback, while the full touchscreen device aims to attract users who are more accustomed to modern smartphones.
The BlackBerry L-Series, also known as the BlackBerry London, is expected to feature a high-resolution display, a powerful processor, and an improved camera system. The device is designed to compete with other high-end smartphones on the market, such as the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3. The inclusion of a full touchscreen is a significant shift for RIM, as it shows their commitment to adapting to current market trends.
Market Expectations and Competition
RIM’s decision to launch two different types of devices indicates their strategy to cater to a broader audience. The physical keyboard model will likely attract business professionals and long-time BlackBerry fans, while the touchscreen model aims to capture the interest of younger, tech-savvy consumers.
The smartphone market is highly competitive, with major players like Apple and Samsung dominating the landscape. RIM’s new BlackBerry 10 devices will need to offer unique features and a compelling user experience to stand out. The success of these devices will be crucial for RIM, as they have struggled in recent years to maintain their market share.
We are expecting RIM to launch their new BlackBerry 10 smartphone sometime either at the end of January or early February of next year. As soon as we get some more information, we will let you guys know.
