RIM is completely renovating its BlackBerry OS in its BB10
release and its new gesture-based UI. The Canadians also developed hardware
that should stands up to BB OS 10’s biggest competitor, Windows Phone 8.
A leaked specs sheet details the BlackBerry Laguna for
Verizon, an L-series device (those are the touch-only ones) that seems to be
the CDMA version of the oft-leaked BlackBerry London.
According to this sheet, the Laguna will pack a 4.2” screen
with the non-standard 1280 x 768 resolution (only the dev units and the London are supposed to
use this one instead of 720p). The pixel density works out to the impressive
355ppi.
The phone will be powered by a dual-core Krait CPU and
feature 1GB RAM (Qualcomm MSM8960 chipset), the same that powers the upcoming
crop of WP8 flagship devices. Other specs on the BlackBerry Laguna include LTE
(with GSM 2G and 3G for roaming), dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n with mobile hot-spot
and Wi-Fi direct, NFC and microHDMI port.
Then there’s an 8MP camera capable of shooting 1080p video,
16GB of built-in storage and a hot-swappable microSD card. An 1800mAh battery
is set to power the whole thing.
We’ve already had a look at what BlackBerry OS 10 is
like from the Beta 3 demos, but these leaked tutorials give even more detail on
the new touch gestures.
