Details regarding the BlackBerry Z10 price and release in India have finally been disclosed, and the smartphone is all set to be unveiled for the country on February 25, tagged at Rs. 39,000. It is being said that the handset will be arriving splashed with both its black and white colors. Launched along with the swanky new BB 10 platform at the end of last month, this device’s entry into the country is being looked at with anticipation, as it is a big market for the BB brand.
Press invites for the handset launch event are being sent by BlackBerry at the moment, and although the company hasn’t specified what the event will be all about, its intent is utterly apparent. Information about the rate at which it will be selling in the country’s market was revealed yesterday by NDTV Gadgets. The website has also stated that the device is expected to begin retailing soon after its launch.
UK and Canada have already got to lay their hands on it, whereas those residing in America can now purchase through a lesser-known carrier dubbed Solavei. It will be hitting major stateside network providers in March this year. Equipped with a 4.2-inch touchscreen display, this smartphone is able to throw its visuals out with a resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels at 355ppi.
Under its hood lies a dual core Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon processor with a clock speed of 1.5GHz. Besides, Adreno 225 graphics as well as 2GB of RAM also form part of its main attributes. The device, on its back, houses an 8MP shooter with auto focus and an LED flash. This snapper is capable of delivering 1080p videos at 30fps. A 2MP camera also finds its way into the handset.
An accelerometer, a compass as well as gyro and proximity sensors form part of its offerings. The BB 10 platform has been infused into it by the company, offering potential buyers a slew of fresh features. If reports are to be believed, the BlackBerry Z10 should land in stores soon after its official unveil which is slated for February 25.
