14 DAY TRIAL // The Q10 is the second BlackBerry smartphone officially announced by the Canadian company back in January. However, the device has yet to make its debut on the market.
Even though BlackBerry offered few details on the Q10 price and availability, it looks like UK-based retailer Clove managed to get more information.
According to Clove’s official blog site, BlackBerry Q10 will arrive in stock on late April for no less than £535 / €630 / $810 outright.
There’s more to it, as the retailer also kicked off pre-orders for the Q10, so those who want to be among the first to receive the smartphone may want to check this page.
Keep in mind that Clove will only sell the black version of Q10 initially, but a white-themed variant may arrive in the coming weeks.
Unlike its full-touch counterpart, BlackBerry Q10 does not feature such a large display. Instead, the smartphone offers both worlds, as it comes with full QWERTY keyboard and 3.1-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that supports 720 x 720 pixels resolution.
There are some differences when it comes to hardware as well. BlackBerry Q10 will be equipped with a 1.5 GHz dual-core TI OMAP 4470 processor, which is complemented by a PowerVR SGX544 graphics processing unit and 2GB of RAM.
In comparison, the Z10 packs a similar 1.5 GHz dual-core CPU, but it’s manufactured by Qualcomm and comes with an Adreno 225 GPU.
On the inside, BlackBerry Q10 embeds the same amount of storage, 16GB. Still, users can further expand internal memory up to 64GB via microSD memory card.
The Q10 boasts the same 8-megapixel photo snapper, which features autofocus, LED flash and HD video recording. A secondary front-facing camera has been confirmed as well, but the number of megapixels is unknown for now, so stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
