Well, this could be interesting. A spec sheet of a supposed new phone from RIM has turned up on RapidBerry, and its specs actually seem — for once –pretty modern.
Here’s the spec rundown: a Qualcomm APQ8064 Krait Quad Core 1.5GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, LTE, an OLED 4.65-inch 1280×720 screen, 16GB of storage with a microSD card slot and a 2800mAh battery. Its dimensions at 68mm x 136mm x 8.85mm put it basically right at the same size as the Samsung Galaxy S III, which is 71mm x 137mm x 8.6mm.
So it looks like this should be, on paper, a solid, competitive phone. But RIM has fallen flat with competitive hardware before. The success or failure of any new BlackBerries, if their fate isn’t already sealed, rests with software. And it’s still not clear if BB10 has anything people actually want. Still, for the RIM faithful, this should be at least mildly exciting. [RapidBerry via Slashgear via GSMArena]
