BlackBerry A10 information and Z15 form factor revealed in new leak

BlackBerry devices used to come in many different form factors, ranging from completely touch-based devices to keyboard-only handsets. With the migration to BlackBerry 10, the company has focused on pure touch-based and touch-keyboard hybrids so far. However, if leaked pictures spotted by ExpertReviews are true, the company may very well be diversifying its upcoming line-up.

The Z30, earlier known as the A10, will have a large 5-inch display

The leaked pictures show two new handsets, dubbed the BlackBerry Z30 and the Z15. Earlier codenamed the A10, the Z30 will have a large display measuring at 5-inches and a 720p panel. It will be powered by a Qualcomm SoC clocked at 1.7GHz. The dual-core setup will be based on the Krait architecture. Of course, we’ve known about this handset for quite some time through various leaks and rumours.

According to earlier reports , the A10 may have an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 2 megapixel front-facing camera. Memory wise, the handset is equipped with 16GB of internal storage along with a hot-swappable microSD card slot, which can be used to shove in an extra 64GB. Connectivity options seem to include LTE with the standard Wi-Fi, 3G and GPS functionality. It will also have NFC and DLNA. Under the hood, the handset will run on a dual-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon S4 processor and the graphics will be handled by a quad-core GPU.

The Z15 will have an old-school slider form factor

The Z15 will be a return to the older slide-based form factor. It will feature a full touch display that can be slid upwards to access a full QWERTY keyboard. Sadly enough, there haven’t been any revelations about the specifications of the Z15. As is the case with rumours, however, we recommend taking this information with a pinch of salt. The Z15 picture could simply be someone messing around in Photoshop and proclaiming it to be a leak.
