The BlackBerry Z10 price in UK has been declared by Three and the first smartphone to roll out packing the company’s latest BB10 OS has been made available for £69 followed by a per month rental of £34 on the Ultimate Internet plan. The handset has moreover been made available through a number of e-retailers in the region on contract-free basis as well.
As known to many, the Z10 has abjured the QWERTY keypad routine and given refuge to a 4.2-inch full touch display within its dimensions of 130mm x 65.6mm x 9mm. Internally, a dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor will be joining forces with 2GB of RAM to carry out multitasking.
Not surprisingly, the smartphone bags in dual cameras. An 8MP rear-facing snapper features auto focus and an LED flash, whereas a 2MP webcam has been drilled onto the front panel with attributes such as 3x digital zoom and HD video recording capability. Over and above the flash memory of 16GB, the OEM offers scope to expand the storage capacity up to 64GB using a microSD card.
A 1,800mAh Li-ion battery should be able to render up to 10 hours of talk time or 13 days of standby to those on 3G. On the other hand, the activity time derivable for 2G users hasn’t been defined currently. Some of the features worth keeping an eye out for include BBM Video and Screen Share as well as the Time Shift camera mode, amongst many others.
Apart from the aforementioned retail value, the BlackBerry Z10 can be picked up via Three for £69 along with £36 monthly EMIs on the One Plan. Those who wish to grab the smartphone through online shopping outlets should find it stocked on websites such as Amazon at varying amounts starting from £519.99, and the device has been stashed with Carphone Warehouse for £529. The second BB10 handset, the Q10, is expected sometime in April and we promise to put forth its details just like we have with the relevant phone.
