As you’ve probably heard, on January 30th 2013 RIM will unveil BlackBerry 10 OS and at least two new handsets: BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry X10. The first is a full touch smartphone, while the second is a QWERTY + touch phone. We’re more interesting in the Z10, since it was recently rendered by Martin Hajek, a designer who imagined the look of the upcoming phone.
I should probably mention that the BlackBerry Z10 has leaked a bunch of times, so everyone knows what it looks like. However, we’re still lacking a press release and a press image, so we have to do with these renders, that are actually pretty well done. From what we’ve heard so far, the Z10 will be a handset without front side buttons, either capacitive or physical. It will rely on gesture control, a major part of BlackBerry 10 OS. The Z10 is rumored to feature a TI OMAP 4470 1.5 GHz dual core CPU or a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor for USA and Canada.
Other specs include a 4.2 inch display with a 1280 x 768 pixel resolution, quad band LTE connectivity, 2 GB of RAM, 16/32 GB of storage and an 8 megapixel camera at the rear with LED flash. There’s also a microSD card slot, a 1800 mAh battery, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 and a micro HDMI out port. So, fancy a BlackBerry Z10 based on these renders?

Designer Jupeng Zhai proposes us a theme that we’ve seen before: a Nokia Lumia Pad tablet designed just like the Lumia handsets. It even adopts the vivid colors of the Nokia Lumia 920, especially the yellow. Rumors say that Nokia will unveil a tablet, maybe at CES 2013 or maybe at MWC 2013, both taking place in the next weeks.
If you ask me, there are only two choices of CPU here for the Finnish company: Intel or Qualcomm. The latter would be a Snapdragon quad core unit, while the former is probably an Intel Atom new generation, or maybe something stronger. As far as memory goes, 2 GB of RAM would be enough, plus 32/64 GB of storage, an SD card slot AND microSD card slot, plus microHDMI and we’re all set.
The back camera could be a PureView, an unique feature for a tablet, even nowadays. The device would also have to include some special software, filters and lenses to use with the camera. Also, maybe Nokia will solve the problem of holding a huge 10.1 inch device in your hands while taking a pic. A brilliant idea would be detaching the camera sensor, sort of like a beefy stylus, maybe? What do you think?
