The images were first leaked by Vietnamese site Tinhte.vn They purport to show the BlackBerry 10 L-Series, which is
expected to be released at the end of January.
The images are similar to the handset shown in previous
leaks, but are far clearer than those previously seen, many of which were
blurry.
The chunky bezel at the top and bottom of the phone,
adding extra length to the device, are the feature that brings up the most
similarities to Apple's no iconic offering.
But unlike the iPhone, the new BlackBerry has no home
button adorning its front. It is expected that the software will allow users to
switch between apps without having to go via a home screen.
Pictures of the side of the device shows it boasts not
only a micro-USB connector, but also a slot for a micro-HDMI cable, which could
enable it to connect to high resolution external displays.

Who will ever thought will the android mobile operating
system will get this big so soon. I’m yet to try it though.
Almost three out
of four of smartphones around the world are now running the Android mobile
operating system, a new report has said. According to IT market research firm Gartner, Google’s
mobile OS now has a 72.4 per cent share of the market for mobile operating
systems, a massive increase from the 52.5 per cent it held a year ago.
Samsung’s wildly popular smartphones accounted for a big
portion of that gain, with the South Korean tech giant shipping 55 million
units, the majority of which run on Android, the Daily Mail reports. According to the survey, Apple, whose devices run on its
own proprietary iOS software, sold around 23.5 million phones over the same
period, the third quarter of 2012.
That was up from 17.3 million a year ago, but the rise
was not enough to stop the market share of the Silicon Valley company’s
operating system slipping from 15 per cent to 13.9 per cent, the paper said.
According to the paper, the survey said the fall in
Apple’s market share could have been a result of users around the world waiting
for the release of the iPhone 5 in their countries.
“With the launch of iPhone 5, Gartner analysts expect iOS
share will grow strongly in the fourth quarter of 2012 because users held on to
their replacements in many markets ahead of the iPhone 5 wider roll out,” the
firm added.
Gadgets and smartphone lovers across the world have had the name iPhone 5 trending on their lips and on social media for a while now.
The tablet was unveiled yesterday in the US after weeks of anticipation and hype. On the Apple website, it is described as “the biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone”.
The new version of Apple’s flagship device is 18 percent thinner
than before and 20 percent lighter than the 4S, thanks to new
technology that eliminates a separate touch-sensing layer in the
screen. It is made entirely of glass and aluminium and sports a larger,
4-inch screen.
Apple describes the iPhone 5 as the thinnest smartphone in the world.
Apple Vice president of Marketing, Phil Schiller said at the special unveiling published by Fox News that
the new iPhone 5 is twice as fast as the 4S thanks to a smaller,
faster processor called the A6. The new phone sports an 8MP camera,
similar to earlier models, but it has better low-light performance and
faster image captures.
Here are some
excerpts of its features:
iPhone 5 supports ultrafast wireless
standards including LTE and DC-HSDPA, so you can browse, download and
stream content even faster. To support the latest LTE technology, Apple
has pioneered a unique single-radio LTE solution that provides blazing
fast speeds while fitting perfectly into the new remarkably thin design.
iPhone 5 features dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi support for a wireless
experience up to 150 Mbps.
The 8 megapixel iSight camera is the most
popular camera in the world and with iPhone 5, it’s even better. The
new camera is completely redesigned with incredible optical performance,
yet amazingly it’s 25 percent smaller than the camera in iPhone 4S. The
new iSight camera in iPhone 5 features a sapphire crystal lens cover
that is thinner and more durable than standard glass with the ability to
provide crystal clear images. The new panorama feature lets you capture
jaw-dropping panorama images of up to 28 megapixels by simply moving
the camera across a scene in one smooth motion.
iPhone 5 introduces new enhanced audio
features including a new beam-forming, directional microphone system for
higher quality sound, while background noise fades away with new noise
canceling technology. iPhone 5 now includes support for cellular
wideband audio for crisper word clarity and more natural sounding
speech.
iPhone 5 comes with iOS 6, the world’s
most advanced mobile operating system with over 200 new user features
including: an all new Maps app with Apple-designed cartography,
turn-by-turn navigation and an amazing new Flyover view; Facebook
integration for Contacts and Calendar, with the ability to post directly
from Notification Center; Passbook, the simplest way to get all your
passes in one place.
It doesn’t look much different from iPhone 4, still its sleek and
attractive self. The smartphone which comes in either white & silver
or black & slate is not yet availabe in stores but Apple notes that
the suggested retail price in the US is $199 (N31,452) for the 16GB
model and $299 (N47,257) for the 32GB model and $399 (N63,062) for the
64GB model.
