BlackBerry 10 Aristo specifications leak, get us excited
02 October, 2012

The BlackBerry 10 OS launch is fast approaching and we already got to learn the specs of RIM's upcoming BlackBerry L-Series phone. Turns out, there's a much more interesting device in the pipeline dubbed the BlackBerry 10 Aristo.

Revealed in a leaked specifications slide, the Aristo (Greek for "the best" is rocking some serious processing power under the hood and, if the info is trustworthy, this is set to be quite the beast.



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 leaked slide also suggests a beefy (but non-removable) 2,800mAh battery.

If the slide hasn't been faked, we might be looking at a device well suited to start RIM's fightback.

I've seen the specs n they're plenty impressive, I have doubts like, if a device like dis is gonna come out next year, why is it not the flagship device launching in january. The hardware specs won't also mean much if the OS falls short, fingers crossed. Would b nice to c em come back to haunt the competition tho

Yeah I also hope it's not a little too late. I would hate for blackberry service to disappear, I am enjoying the service too much.

I trust Nija gehs.. They'll be the first to use it! And na we go buy am for them!

After all the show, the Android still beats blackberry hands down

8MP CAMERA? COMMON THEY CAN DO BETTER COS EVEN NOKIA VE 8MP PHONES.

all this one no move me. android will still be ahead of bb. more over this BlackBerry 10 will be too expensive.

Only God knw how much dis one go be now, but trust nah and aristos go still buy the B B 10 aristo give there babes.

Aristo ke? E don shele be that. By their phones you shall know them.

Its like RIM hv run out of ideas. they just recycle same things, I still like blackberry but they really need fresh ideas its not by just name 'porsche','aristo'

Blackberry want to win other mobile? Before it was BBP and nw BBA, (pls not Big brother Africa)

bknight: Its like RIM hv run out of ideas. they just recycle same things, I still like blackberry but they really need fresh ideas its not by just name 'porsche','aristo'

If uv bin following their progress u won't say this.

The specs Я impressive...RIM should use a ba3 with a higher power rating....a 2800mah ba3 will be overtaxed by a hardware with specs lyk dis.

Blackberry wan initiate more young girls into Aristo tinz be that. The population of aristo chiks will increase come next year. Men are in trouble!

Goodluck to the blackberry fans. As for me, my Nokia C3 still rocks!

some of the devices will have amoled and slcd displays.

Blackberry aristo na wa o!

*Waiting* one problem, its probably going to be at cut-throat prices, far above its worth.

You must be a capital FO.OL for saying this, in what way is Nokia inferior to Blackberry?

With all this their ashawo BB, them go just make Nokia vex move from Nokia Asha to Nokia 2face.

That's a nice development for RIM. But why would the OS not support BB 9900?

Why would u buy a flagship phone and in less than 6 months when a new OS would be available, u'll be stuck with BB 7.0?

That's why am gonna stick with the mother of all, yes u guessed right-- Android OS.

pDude: After all the show, the Android still beats blackberry hands down

of course naa.
To me, this is how d list goes:

1. Android
2. iOS
3. WP8
4. Others (this is where BB OS falls)

nanotechy: what d Bleep was dat? 'even' nokia? Excuse me! Are u aware nokia has the best camera phone ever made? Nokia 808 (pureview) is equiped with a 41mp camera

41MP camera sensor, its still a 5MP device

gboss4sure: Do they mean i cant upgrade my bold 5 os to the new bb 10 os? if thats the case then Bleep RIM. gonna stick to my tab then

Nope u won't b able to upgrade any phone currently running bb os 7.0/7.1. It was stated about the same time the bold 5 launched.
The new OS is optimized for dual core devices they say

If Nokia catch u with dat ur comment, u go hear am. Nokia launched 808 pure view early dis year and it's d best camera a phone could have. Even so many digital cameras don't av 42 mega pixels. It is real cos dat d fone my supervisor uses, dat fone na die
