With the launch of BlackBerry 10 coming closer and closer, the rumoured BlackBerry Aristo, which means “the best” in Greek, was noted to be a successor of the BlackBerry London series and the start of the new A-Series devices.
We can now reveal leaked specs of the alleged device and they are looking pretty awesome.
The BlackBerry Aristo is powered by a Qualcomm APQ8064 quad-core Krait processor running at 1.5GHz coupled with 2GB of RAM. The smartphone also impresses with a 4.65-inch OLED display of HD resolution.
The screen is said to use OCTA Glass made by Samsung, which eliminates an additional touch screen layer and integrates the touch sensor directly onto the AMOLED panel instead.
As a result, the BlackBerry 10 Aristo will measure just 8.85mm thick. It’s not the thinnest device out there, but it’s certainly the slimmest in RIM’s portfolio. Connectivity is reportedly going to be pretty solid as well with NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, microHDMI out, Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA and microUSB.
Above the display stands a 2MP front-facing camera capable of shooting 720p video, while at the back the Aristo will make use of an 8MP snapper with auto focus and LED flash. Naturally, it will have no problems shooting 1080p at 30fps.
There’s 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable thanks to the microSD card slot. The slide also suggests a beefy (but non-removable) 2,800mAh battery.
