BlackBerry Z10 and Q10 unveiled, first BB10 smartphones

RIM (well, BlackBerry now) has opened a new chapter in the history of its platform with the release of its first to BB10 OS devices, the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10.The new OS is centered around touch gestures, even the Q10, which has a hardware QWERTY.

The BlackBerry Z10, however, joins the ranks of the touch-only army with a 4.2” WXGA screen (1,280 x 768, 356ppi pixel density). A dual-core 1.5GHz CPU has been enlisted to run the new OS and there’s 2 gigs of RAM to make sure there’s room for multitasking, which plays a huge part of the new experience.

The company also made sure the Z10 is capable in terms of multimedia with an 8MP main camera that shoots 1080p video and an HDMI port. The phone packs 16GB or 32GB of storage and you can throw in a microSD card to expand it.

The Z10 boasts an advanced touchscreen, which should completely make up for the lack of hardware keyboard.

And if you still need a physical keyboard, the BlackBerry Q10 is the one you should be looking for. The smartphone keeps the trademark hardware QWERTY keyboard. It has a touchscreen too - it's a bit unorthodox, a 3.1" square with 330ppi pixel density.

The chipset of the Q10 is the same as the one on the Z10.
