BlackBerry Z10 Successor Update: A10 Surfaces in Leaked Photos, Video, Specs

The next flagship device for BlackBerry, the A10, has been seen in a leaked video and photos from a trusted Vietnamese source.

The BlackBerry A10 has been rumored about for a few weeks now, and it looks like it is becoming closer to a reality than a rumor. Currently, Blackberry's flagship smartphone is the Z10, which shares the spotlight with the Q10 - BlackBerry's qwerty keyboard model. It looks like the A10 will share the slate touchscreen form factor of the Z10, but there are some differences in appearance, judging from the photos and video, leaked by the Vietnamese site Tinhte, which, according to the Verge, has a "prolific history of acquiring devices before their official announcement."

First of all, it looks like the rumors that the A10 will include a larger, and seemingly industry standard, 5-inch display are true, at least if the phone depicted in this video is actually the BlackBerry A10.

Also, the BlackBerry A10 looks to have a two-color scheme, with a rounded aluminum-colored bottom margin and an all-black top half. It's hard to tell, but the sides of the display screen look to be slightly thinner than the Z10 as well. Also, judging from pictures of the back of the device, the A10 will have a more rounded taper than its flagship predecessor, though the overall shape of the A10 conforms to a similar shape as BlackBerry's Z10 body.

The A10 is rumored to have a 5-inch HD display, and you can see what looks like a confirmation of that fact on the back of the device in the video. It is also rumored to be powered by a dual-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, and have an 8-megapixel main camera, a 2-megapixel front facing shooter, 16GB of internal storage, and a microSD slot, which also appears to be confirmed in the video. The battery looks to be 2,800 mAh, which you can also see in the back of the device.

Stay with us for more details, as the A10 is rumored to start heading to wireless carriers starting in November. However, as with all rumors and leaked details, take it with a grain of salt.
