We're getting a BlackBerry 10 update today. And no, it's not OS 10.3. It's a 10.2.1 update that brings a few new enhancements and features to your BlackBerry 10 smartphone. We actually saw this OS version drop as a leak early in the month of May. If you're one who prefers to load officially, then look out for the update as it will be rolling out today for all BlackBerry 10 devices.

New features in OS 10.2.1.3175

  • Applications - No more limits on the number of applications that can run in the background.
  • Support for 64GB and higher exFAT MicroSD so you can store and enjoy more photos, music and files to your BlackBerry 10 device.
  • Enhancements to Bluetooth, Media, Browser, and more!

The update will show as Software version 10.2.1.2941 but it is OS version 10.2.1.3175. As usual, this update is carrier dependent and the rollout for the update starts today.
