The first image of the BlackBerry A10 has been leaked! It's looking an awful lot like the BlackBerry Z10, and it's running OS 10.2.
We're expecting a 5-inch 1280 x 720 display and a dual-core processor when it lands in the fall. The Aristo has been long-rumored, and though we aren't seeing a ton of surprises here in terms of physical design, it will be mixing in a bit of the BlackBerry Q10 style for the rear, apparently.
What do you guys think? Is the Z10 style good enough for the A10? What would you like to see in an extra-large BlackBerry?

PLEASE BLACKBERRY IM A BIG FAN BUT AFTER Z 3O BUILD ONE WITH ALUMINIUM CASE...FORGET THE PLASTIC STORY BLACKBERRYIS NOT A TOY IS A PHILISOPHY, BLACKBERRY IS A WORKING TOOL, BLACKBERRY IS LIFESTYLE...IS NOT A GAMEBOY...THANX AND SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH...LONGE LIFE TO BLACKBERRY ONE OF THE BEST LABEL EVER AND LABEL NAME
Personally I would love to be the first using the z10 in ma country..
It seems this big shovel with no popular apps gonna be the same expensive, glitchy and pointless toy as Z10 is. I'd better go for another iPhone.
Well if you are looking for a cost effective and a cost reliable smart phone the New blackberry A10 (Aristo) specifications says it all http://www.sodinc.blogspot.com/2013/07/specification-for-blackberry-a10-... the smartphones processing power and battery life is really amazing compared to others.
A10? M10? X10?...
Hah, they dont even finished the Z10 as a proper device and now we are talking about new "flagships"... meh.
Just hope there is enough juice to power that big screen all day long...
Better not be a dual core or this phone will be a failure before it launches, do blackberry ignore the world around them and just chuck old hardware around thinking it's not?

BlackBerry can't win with that...

This is BlackBerry's match to Samsung Note 3? ROTFL!!
Posted via CB10
Also, the pricing of these things (existing BlackBerrys) ... Nokia has the sense to sell their phones for a lot less than the competition that's why they are at least able to shift units.
Why would anyone (that is not a fan like us and posts on CrackBerry) buy a BB10 device that is the same price or more expensive than an iPhone?! I don't believe BlackBerry has considered that.
The vision of BB10 being the "mobile computing platform" that we haven't even heard any details about is not a reason for new users to switch from their iOS or Android devices to BlackBerry.
Compete on price guys.

Looks rather Meh! Where's the Aluminium industrial design or something different? Can't say I'm particularly impressed in the looks department, no matter what specs it's packing. BB10 runs just fine on existing specs.

The A10 will probably be competing with the Note 3. And I hope BlackBerry gets this right. The latest product line (A10, Z10, Q5 and Q10) might just be BlackBerry's last shot at the smartphone market.
I was pretty certain I would get the A10 when I first found out about it. But now I'm beginning to have doubts. Main reasons are:
(1) Lack of native apps. I must give it to SoundHound. We need more app developers like SoundHound for BlackBerry. Thanks to this app, I don't care if Shazam ever comes to OS10.
(2) I need to do plenty of acrobatics before I can get some things to work on my Z10. Case in point, calendars. I have problem adding ICS extension to the native calendar. Yes it might be my IT administrators who are doing a bad job. But it still works on my iPad. As end-user that's what matters to me. I'm not interested in what goes on behind the scene.
(3) Lacking customisable features. I like Android's widgets. Active frames could possibly do something similar but most app developers do no implement it well.

Pass. What happened to the quadcore?
Posted via CB10
I'm getting one as soon as it is released
Posted via CB10
Here are my dream specs. Super Amoled, 5", high pixel density screen. Camera - HD, 1080p, 12 mpix rear, 5 mpix front. 4GB rom. 32 GB ram. Quad core 1.9 ghz or higher. Expandable memory - SD card 128 GB max. Removable battery - this is a must!! No sealed battery doors. This is why many haven't jumped ship to the iphone. The batter just has to be high capacity - 3200 mAh or better. Then, of course, all the other usual stuff like LTE, Wifi, HDMI, etc, etc., as some have already commented on.
They've got to come out with something solid. Even if the OS doesn't need high end hardware to run, it's got to compete with the competition. Blackberry are you listening?!!
Posted via CB10
Almost 600 comments about a blurry picture with rumored specs. (I have 2 or 3 in here but nothing too serious)
Enjoy your weekend!
Make it an edge to edge screen design. Bring down the BlackBerry logo onto the actual hardware which would allow for larger screen and keeping the overall phone size smaller.

Posted via CB10
I'm sure no is going to by this.. 2GB of ram is old news.
Posted via CB10
Just put a quad core into the device and power down the two cores to preserve battery :) LOL Then wait a year and enable it with a battery upgrade.
Who cares about 1080 on the device if it can display 1080 through HDMI output on a TV. I'll be happy with 1024. p.s. Make it water proof! I've been caught in the rain with my Z10 a few times and I'm glad (knock on wood) that it has stood up.
I see nothing wrong with this. Z10 front and Q10 back and a larger screen. Nice
It has the white at the bottom...ZOMG ITS LIKE THE Z10..
Really? Looks nothing like the Z10, looks like a Galaxy with the rounded edges..
I was holding back on commenting on this post, I wanted to see what everyone has to say, I personally will reserve judgement until BlackBerry unveils the phone. This picture doesn't look like a final product they would release, and since the Q5 and Q10 follow a similar design, I will speculate that the Z10 an all touch phone, and the A10 another all touch phone will also be more similar than the picture present in this post. If they aren't, I will expect the A10 to have its own unique design since it is a flagship and the first of its line. I don't think it will be a fusion look between the Z and Q lines. I'm betting this is a photoshop.
Posted via CB10
If this analysis (http://www.canadianbusiness.com/blogs-and-comment/a-ray-of-hope-for-rese...) is correct, and I think it is, smartphones are the new televisions. We don't buy them on features so much as price, as they're ubiquitous. We expect them to be full-featured. As such, the A10 needs to be at the forefront of specs, but it also needs to be built cheaper and aimed at a broader market -- the upper end of the smartphone game is not where companies are going to win market share. It's in the middle.
I would like to get front facing speakers just like we have on the PlayBook (so we aren't following the HTC One). We definitely need 1080p and maybe higher frame rate or 3D features (just to be better than others). We definitely need a better camera or higher resolution on the A10. I don't know about other places but here in NY, almost everyone is on Instagram, so it's a must. I know we can side load, but most people would be hesitant and go with the S4 instead. So BlackBerry please get the instagram app before laughing the A10.
Loving my awesome Z10 baby!
Wait....WHAT?!?! White on the bottom, black up top?!?!? I'd rather it was the other way around.........(giggles)
Looks impressive and I'm sure can hang with the big boys in the industry
Posted via CB10
It better have kick ass battery life. That is my only qualm with my z10
Posted via CB10
The demise of BB is premature, give time, time. But if this is the Aristo, it'll look like the Galaxy line, all curvy and I hate that, they should stay with the Z10 design, the iPhone look, which is much better IMHO.
No!
Posted via CB10
I think this is no good for BlackBerry. Why another Z10 in extra large size ? I haven't seen anyone running around with a Note - ever!
BlackBerry is smart enough, we hope, to at least match their competition in the spec department if not then they might as well throw in the towel. This phone will be their make it or break it smartphone so BlackBerry please put all you got into this one, no half-assing your hardware.
what do i think?
sounds an awful lot like a Sony SP hardware wise, so i'd hope it arrives with an SP like price, i.e. circa £300 sim-free.
and not circa £450 sim-free as the ridiculously overpriced Z10 currently is!
Which is actually a really good phone, but you're right - eveyone (all of the reviewers) agree that Sony have designed a really awesome, top of the range MID TIER phone. That they've done this, and priced it appropriately is a real credit to them as it's a really compelling device.
If it's not top of line in specs, we should be advocating dismissing the head. He is lost his ability to compete already. No tablet on QNX??? Really ??
Posted via CB10
Wow! I love that they kept the bottom design and switch up the top. Looking good, now lets get factual under the hood. (here's hoping quad core and more and 3+gb of RAM)
IIIIIIIIiiiiii Dont think this is the A10. Its most likely the Z5.
Orgasm
Posted via CB10
Looks like z10, quite disappointed.
Posted via CB10
Oh wait, this is now the flagship phone....didn't they say that about the Z10.
Regardless of the specs, everyone here is gonna say its the best phone, just like the Z10?
This is going to be epic.........
If it will have hi quality camera and audio capabilities - I'll buy it.
Not necessarily 12 MP, it can be 8 MP, but faster, sharper ...
It's obviously a photoshop people.
Posted via CB10
I'm beginning to get Confused, is this not the top tier device that's been rumored or is the device I've been hearing about simply another budget all touch bb10 device like the q5
Posted via CB10
Design guy on holiday? Oh wait no you still make keyboard phones Blackberry...
Looks like someone photo-shopped the z10 and q10 together, hmmm...
it looks soooo.... dull... honestly speaking....and the specs.... *sigh* I hope it is not the speculate specification on dual core version....somehow I feel BlackBerry is moving into a wrong direction....
It's like a slab, what's the purpose?
Posted via CB10
My contract runs out in December and, if you had asked me a couple of weeks ago what my next phone would be, I would have said Blackberry A10, hands down. Since that time I've learned that my Playbook has been essentially abandoned and that the "beast" of a flagship phone will be more pussy cat than tiger. I've got months to make up my mind, but I gotta say that the Galaxy S4 is looking pretty good right now.
Quit bitching about quad core, damn we all know bb10 doesn't need so many cores, how bout they just tell us it is quad and stick with dual everyone would be obliviously stoked on it. I've gotten caught up in specs myself but realize it's just silly, I would rather them improve battery and camera quality before I care if it's quad core.
Posted via CB10
It looks like z10. I was hoping for something more slim and with more style, and better quality than the z10. If this is the A10, then BlackBerry has a problem. I certainly hope this is not the aristo.
Posted via CB10
Core this, memory that, screen size this. OK can I get the RSA app for any BB10 device please.
I'll be picking it up once it goes on sale. I like!
So the A10 is a pumped up Z10 with a 5" screen still including wide bezels which will probably make it the size of a note, but still with mid 2012 specs in late 2013, likely at $649 to $699.
FAIL.
Posted via CB10
If they're smart, which is doubtful, they will change the way it looks because the Z10 isn't a show stopper and it hasn't sold like hot cakes, have a 1080P screen, quad core, more than 2GB ram, 12MP camera, and most importantly, a significantly upgraded BB10 OS. Otherwise this company will go the way of Nortel and my shares will be nil.
Posted via CB10
Looks like Z10 will my last device from BlackBerry, is the game finally over?
Posted via CB10
I NEVER thought I'd ever say this, but same here unfortunately.
Months from launch, the A10 already sucks and this comes from a diehard BlackBerry fanboy. My gosh.
Posted via CB10
Add color for smartphone like cyan yellow red etc...
Posted via CB10
I also think they should build in a digitizer and a stylus. The Galaxy Note line should not be better at PDF mark-up and product sketching than business-oriented Blackberry.
They can partner with N-trig to get it done instead of Wacom.
Posted via CB10
It better not have a damn dual core. Bring the specs up or blackberry needs to shut the doors and sell out.
Posted via CB10
Let's face it... if this device can not brew a real Italian Espresso I Won't buy it... :D
Posted via CB10
Why a 5" z10? Why not 8". The q10 and z10 need a companion at least not a substitute.
Posted via CB10
Perfect
Posted via CB10
Why not simply called it Z10 XL!!
I will keep my Z10!
Posted via CB10
And A10 if it goes like this, they will be just like when iPhone 4 going into iPhone 5. Just increase screen size, everything else is just the same. But less because at least iPhone get spec upgrade where bb is really just screen upgrade.... shame.
Posted via CB10
I like BlackBerry. But if Z10 isn't selling too well, how would this leaked A10 sell well? It looks too similar to a Z10. If you ask me, a blue Z10 may just sell better than this.
I expect a big differentiation otherwise BlackBerry should just focus on improving the software and roll out 10.2 or 10.3 much quicker.
Posted via CB10
I think from the picture and specs are not sufficient enough to make people who already have Z10 to move.
They can try to keep the 720p but if they do that, they should increase the battery effieciency where they can sell the longest smartphone without extra battery. If the specs is not that great and unable to beat a better spec usage then it is not good enough.
And about the look, personally I like the Z10. And I will buy A10 if it was the same size dimension with Z10 with no bezel. Why bb touchscreen must have a bezel? Why not erase it so the screen will be bigger. iPhone can do that, android can do that, why bb can't?
Some people don't care about dual or quad core, if all the apps and other things run smooth in both core. At least the Os work with smoothness and less waiting time.
Making a more "premium" feels will also make things better. Some people just buy a phone that the appearance appeal to them. It looks good and people will buy it.
I know packing all good things in small dimension is harder then using bigger dimension, yet it can be done.
Posted via CB10
I hope it will be able to synch outlook notes, task including by category.

BlackBerry please QUAD CORE 3 GIG RAM and BIGGER BATTERY
Posted via CB10
C'mon if it's running only on dual core what's the different between A10 and Z10. Most of people who wanna use BlackBerry 10 already got a Z10, so if BlackBerry wanna make A10 their super high end phone they have to give something else other than screen size
Posted via CB10
Totally agreed.
Posted via CB10
Love it. Z10 has the perfect design. And i love the fact that A10 is almost the same
Worried as well....!!!!
Posted via CB10
Agreed They need to attack the premium metallic look...give best of both Samsung and Apple/HTC...Size of Samsung and Metallic look of Apple or HTC...
In it's current styling it's a flop.
DESIGN and STYLE matters !!!!!
Posted via CB10
I'm very worried for the specs of this rumored device! As is, it will b murdered in the reviews!! BB are widely considered behind d curve on price, experience, apps and specs + BB10 adoption has not been stellar..so if the specs aren't at least competitive then who will buy at the alrdy high prices!?
Blackberry always releases phones with last year's specs. That's not going to change. They don't have the research and development budget to do otherwise. 720p and dual core is not going to cut it this fall against the top end competition, and there is no doubt Blackberry will price this device at the top end. The Moto X will spend 500 million dollars advertising, Apple and Samsung will spend similar, and they will all have something to shout about with the latest specs. The best Blackberry will be able to say is "this runs BB10 and the screen is bigger than the Z10 ( which didn't sell too well)."
How does that sound to consumers? We are all Blackberry fans on this site, by definition, but surely it is obvious that Blackberry cannot go head to head with the latest handsets. They cannot afford to price their handsets lower. How will they ever get enough market share to make them viable ?
After PlayBook fiasco, it's understandable to loose some grip n trust, but chewing what BGR spits is unthinkable result
Posted via CB10
I guess that another z series phone with high specs would be my choice
Posted via CB10
Not a fan of the aesthetics of the phone, the z10 with its top and bottom bezels looks much nicer.
Posted via CB10
To be honest I think it should look more premium like the metallic silvery style of the iPhone... get rid of the plastic or find some way to have it mettaly.. not sure exactly how. but I've heard from a lot of people here that it doesn't look premium enough (z10) unlike the iPhone.. I have to agree. Nothing to do with the a10 though
Posted via CB10
LOL! Why is everybody asking for quad core and 3GB ram?
Instead you should be asking for more efficient BB10 that doesn't require more than 512MB of RAM because there is nothing that operating system does that should require more memory or CPU power.
BB10 like Android suffers from lazy software development it has nothing to do with the specs. Only reason why would you want more RAM is when you are playing a 3D game and multitasking at the same time but there is a way to deal with that too. In other words every single 3D game that runs on any mobile OS can be run with 512Mb of RAM if coded right.
Android is here to sell hardware and developers are getting extremely lazy cause they know they can rely on next quad or penta core CPU, there is absolutely no reason for BB10 to go this route.
Same thick bezel as Z10's. Same cheap looking white plastic as Z10's. Can anyone with common sense explain why should sales of this barely average designed device, with traditional "minimalistic" BBRY marketing support and "sensitive" pricing policy, be better than probably "astonishing" sales of Z10's?
I think Thorsten (and his team) already showed that he is not able or willing to design and sale competitive all touch device. What else will Thor and his team have to do to get shareholders to realize that his goal is lower the (stock) price of the company before buyout take place. Ditching hardware division (at least all touch devices) is only a part of this strategy.
I really HOPE this BGR picture is fake.
I really hope the final product is better than that. BlackBerry needs to realize that it's best customers will shell out more money for better looking better quality BlackBerry phone.
Posted via CB10
Powerful spec's is my choice but right now my z10 is a mistake decision I make. Shame on you BlackBerry smartphone

Why do you feel that?

Is it me or has CB been lacking with the news this week??? I feel like I still don't know what all happened at the shareholders meeting. Freaking BGR has more news about BB.
ahah, this will be a fail.. I guess Blackberry is only good at doing Qwerty phone!!
Imo, an epic battery would make BlackBerry like a god.
Posted via CB10
Oh! Well.. it looks like the z10 lol
Posted via CB10
It looks like a Blackberrry 10.
As a long-time RIMM/BBRY user, investor and supporter, I must reluctantly comment that I think the A10 phone could be one of the final nails in BBRY's coffin, or at least its smartphone group. And I'm not being hyperbolic when I say this.
Reasons: 1) The Z10 is a fine phone, what I use and prefer over my iPhone 5, yet it has not been marketed, advertised, supported, updated (BB10 OS) rapidly, arrived with a dysfunctional contact/calendar for many, and has a form factor that, for me, and many others in these posts, is at the upper limit of "comfortable" for a business phone. 2) Given that the Z10 met a lukewarm response despite, what I feel, are compelling advantages over the iOS platform (intuitive typing, larger screen, fast browser, Hub, multitasking, etc), its inability to gain traction gives me little hope that there is anything about the A10 that would draw users from either Z10 (as commented upon by so many) or away from iOS or Android. 3) if BBRY has secret marketing surveys that this is what "women" want, as TH cryptically referred to in his AGM Q/A response session, shows us the market research that shows how/why this phone will sell 4) if BBRY releases another phone to a tepid response, the $$ wasted will be gone for good, and much better spent on promoting BES10 in the enterprise or on upgrades (better camera), faster turnaround on BB10 OS on Z10, get the Q5 out there, supported, and with happy users, etc.
I fully admit I could be wrong about adoption, but this has all the makings of "Playbook 2", only worse, no offense to Playbook users. If BBRY can't get current QWERTY users to upgrade to Q10 "en masse" (we'll learn next quarter, but not holding my breath, since being smacked silly by overblown projection of BB10 device sales last quarter), I have little confidence Playbook users, already far fewer in number than overall installed BBRY user base, will get this puppy off the ground.
So who will they sell this to? Gamers? Gamers who will give up Android devices? If so, reality check badly needed, as many have commented that "specs" of A10 will already be outdated.
While BB enthusiasts may decry such "negativism", all I can say is that I want this company to succeed as, or more, than you do. So take this perspective in that light. If anyone wishes to challenge this perspective, please do so. It's time to stop asking for feature creep in these devices, and for the company to get it's sh** together, present a coherent picture of what it is, what markets it will serve and why, and built a compelling argument for existence around that. TH did a good job with regarding that with security during the AGM: unfortunately, the A10 already starts to contradicts this "new" BBRY tenet of not being all things to all people. WHO ARE YOU BUILDING IT FOR? As we are seeing high end smartphone device sales CRUMBLE, this is NOT the segment for market growth/penetration at this time. Please tell me someone on the Board gets this. Far better to make the Q5 a smashing success while introducing Z10 "two" that is awesome and ADVERTISED for what it can do.
The enthusiasm of the Crackberry crowd must work with the realities of the investment community to create a future in which BBRY creates relevant products that smoke the competition.
The problem is that BB made the conscious decision to appeal to everyone and noone at the same time - they don't want to be pigeon holed as being 'just for x user', but in taking this approach they aren't releasing products with a compelling reason for any single group of purchasers to buy.
*. smh.
*sighs
Question #1 If this rumored A10 is gonna be the the phone everyone wants, then why the fuck did they not release it first?? If this phone is gonna be so spectacular don't you think it would have made more sense to release it instead of the Z10?? Make the big splash right away!! 5" quad core or octacore or whatever!! Then 4GB of RAM!! Who gives a shit if BB10 is optimized on a 2GB memory platform!! If you are gonna sell based on specs, the general public doesn't know what the hell you people are talking about when you say that crap about optimization and efficiency of a platform!! On Paper, and in every review of any new phone I've seen on YouTube, all they talk about is Quad core and increased levels of RAM!! 4GB 6GB, a million GB of RAM!! You gotta have something Samsung and Apple doesn't have!!
Question #2 Why the fuck is BlackBerry wasting time and money (which they are quickly running out of) on another goddam device that will maybe sell 2 or 3 million units!!! For Christ sake, take that money and go to the app developers that matter most, with a blank cheque and say "Fine!!!! How Much???" Get it done!!! It's not rocket science people!! Just talk to the teenagers, which is one of the biggest demographic in mobile purchases and ask!! They will tell you!! The apps aren't there!! Right now, as compared to iPhone and SG4, BlackBerry is just not cool at the present time!! Period!!! A fancy 5" screen with 1080p or whatever just doesn't matter right now!! They need Candy Crush!! They need Subway Surfer!! They need Netflix!! They need Shazam!! They need soooooo many apps that Apple and Samsung customers basically take for granted!!
Start with that!!! Once that is done, then you can talk about some new flagship phone!! So given that, if you wanna talk about specs once your appworld is in place, take what everyone else has done and make it new and better!! Enough with the PLASTIC!!! The word premium and plastic should never ever be in the same sentence!!! Period!!! The General public likes the words Gorilla Glass?? Give them Gorilla Glass!! Aluminum body has been done??? Give them 304 Stainless Steel!!! 13 mp camera has been done??? Give them 16!!! Is this over the top and unnecessary for a mobile phone?? Absolutely!! Does it look spectacular on paper and in a YouTube unboxing and review?? You bet your sweet ass is does!!! A 3000 milliamp battery would make the phone heavier than an iPhone??? Sure!!! But one charge last 3 days!!!That will sell!! Obviously, I'm embellishing a bit here, but you get my point!!
Cheers!!

Kiss Army, you got it right. Aside from the fact that among your comments there actually is at least ONE app that fits your bill, called SoundHound, that is similar to Shazam. Alas no tie in to iTunes, but it recognized "Born to Run" in 5 seconds. And in NYC today used another useful app "TaxiFare Finder" to tell me how much cab fare would be from point A to point B in a very nifty way. MORE OF THIS IS NEEDED.
Beyond that, BBRY, it's time to wake up and smell the roses. You ain't getting any younger.
is this diagnosis on the bottom of the screen a standard feature in 10.2?
Missing such a thing on 10.2!
I'm going to wait and see what the real deal is with the aristo... so far I am more than happy with my Z10 so far... no issues and works perfectly...

Hey guys, ignore all this dual/quad/oct core stuff, its not about the number of cores its about the speed of each one. Faster is better than more and slower especially if things arent optimised to run in parallel
I've lost my faith in BlackBerry..You need a 1080p full hd display for a 5" phone..plus a 2 gig or 2.5 gig ram with quad core processor is a must with 32 gigs of internal storage..if BlackBerry doesn't get these specs into the picture..i guess it shall be the end of them..
Posted via CB10
So BBRY launched playbook with beast spec. and half baked OS before, and now decided to put the fully baked OS into a soon to be outdated (spec wise) phone? Yeah i get it, BB10 doesn't need more cores, nor maybe more ram, and you most certainly can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a phone, but hey, it's those Android spec junkies and dumb media that BBRY needs to attract. If playbook is a mistake that has been made (still the best experience imo), at least BBRY should avoid the new one by making a real beast to wow the world. Dumb technical decisions can sometimes be smart in marketing don't you think?
Quad Core will help the performance of BB10 how!?
My Tech-Fleet: Q10; Z10; PlayBook; Surface Pro; Xbox 360; HP TouchPad; iPod Touch 5
I want a killer battery life and a side physical keyboard (like the Torch, but landscape instead of portrait). Why can't we get that?

Yehey Blackberry A10! My money is waiting for you! :)
Where is the edge to edge glass, at least a 14 mp rear and 6 mp front facing camera. If the same specs as a z10 besides bigger will be another lame phone. Produce some wow factor already.
This leaked photo is bs anyways showing it only has 1048mb of memory...

Man if the resolution is the same as the Z10's then that's just a larger phone!!!!! What's the point? The only problem with the z10 is the narrow screen. With the same resolution nothing will be better. Am I right or someone can help me understand this.
Posted via CB10
It most likely has less screen resolution them the Z10 if it has the rumored specs and also BlackBerry already mentioned they are only going to use 2 types of screen resolutions within their line up of devices other then the Z10.
BlackBerry for life. Kick'n it with my Z10.
I'm 99% sure,this is a white Z10 on the picture..just check the strange angle of the photo..simple manipulation: they set the letter size to the smallest, put the camera to this strange position ( the object looks longer,larger than in reality) and used a longer focal length lens. that 's all. It's fake.
Z10 : Black is back
It's not a white Z10. Look at the top of the phone. It does t have the plastic bumper or whatever you want to call it as the bottom of the phone. Also look at the placement of the speaker and camera on the top as compared to a Z10. It's definitely a different device.

I will stick to the Z10 thank you berry much if there isn't anything more bleeding edge in terms of Ram and Processing power. What's the point of upgrading to a slightly faster and larger z10? Also the design looks funny, whereas the z10 is balanced and a perfect fit. This looks like its got a bumper on the bottom of it and the top of the phone looks like a Nexus 4. So make it balanced, symmetric and uniform. One up the competition for once please. Give us 4+ cores minimum (even if it's not supported by BB 10 OS yet, turn the extra cores off) and give us 4GB of Ram and a 13MP camera and 1080p display. Anything less will be as mentioned below outdated by the time it hits the shelves and yesterday's news.
Looks just like any all touch phone. I hope BlackBerry comes out with a flagship physical keyboard as well.

Lets go BlackBerry quit ffing around! Quad core all the way ...tired of supporting you when your a day late and a dollar short.
The device does NOT NEED Quad cores or 1080p to RUN well.

I'm not sure how I feel about this rumor. I'm kinda torn about where this is going... I think I gotta see more and determine if I even consider the A10... I like to keep my phone for at least 3-4 years...so unless it really gets my attention, I think I'll be fine with my z10. Additionally, if the z10 craps out early then I'd have to question the quality of the phone... so assuming the phone is built to last either I'll completely over look the A10, buy one, or just jump the proverbial blackberry ship... there's a lot at stake here, BlackBerry can't depend on its current owners for all its sales. I'm the perfect example, specifically after last week's Shitty news. This A10 needs to really WOW and court new customers...
Posted via CB10
Should we all tweet Thorsten and ask him to deliver a 1080p and Quad Core?
Posted via CB10
No it isn't! The Z10 doesn't look like a high-emd device! Oh Goddd BlackBerry give the A10 an expensive looking design!!
The design is awful. Z10 with a bigger screen I'm not impressed. If Aristo is BB's new high end phone with the shown design then this is the beginning of the end of BlackBerry.
Posted via CB10
can anybody tell, why you guys want 4 cores? Does OS10 need it? I think no... Do not compare it to Android, it handles resources much better than Google's OS. everything depends on optimalisation. Is the Z10 or Q10 slow? I don't think so. also think about battery time...2 cores for a huge HD display is far enough if the system itself is well optimized. Counting the cores should remain for Android, BlackBerry has much better basics on Qnx,they just need to use it properly.
Z10 : Black is back
I love my z10 but I believe they need some differentiating styling between Z10 and A10, keep same design language but with a little difference(and larger isn't different enough). Spec wise they need to go overboard. Get tongue wagging. Make a statement!
Hope they step up

A Quad Processor and better Screen resolution.
This looks like a Z10... it doesn't even look bigger. Are we sure that's not just a white z10?
Swordsmanship Channel: C000C9AF6
Honestly this spec thing is really starting to piss me off. The last thing someone wants in their phone is a quad core processor, NO ONE is editing video or playing any graphics intensive video games on their phones. If it hasn't been clear enough the BB10 OS runs perfectly fine on the Z10/Q10 hardware, more RAM could definitely go a long way however.
Posted via CB10
Ahhh crap... It's gonna be a bigger z10 with a bigger battery. So basically a Z10 1.5
Not gonna go over well with A LOT of people :(
WTF.... if (IF!) the specs of the A10 will be nearly the same like Z10 (but with a turn to the worse in context with resolution and ppi) BlackBerry should go to hell... BlackBerry is already "Mid-tier" (like the Z10 should official become with release of the A10), but with a bloat device (without technical closing of ranks with iOS and Android) they would deserve to become a torturesome oversized wallflower of market...
with the leaked specs it might come with separate graphic processor .....i would be delighted if they bring with a exchange offer for playbook in india (offer is on for z10 in exchange for bb7 devices ) !!
Good start...
Posted via CB10
Aristo, I <3 U
dual core is sickening. if they release this as dual core bb will die from bad PR alone. i dont care what they think, they need to release SOMETHING that will get good PR.
Awesomeness! Let's release this soon! The competition for US consumers interested in a 3rd choice is the Lumia 1020 with the amazing camera. The release should be timed accordingly. I think a November release might help make that quarter less harsh, but I'd love to see August, but early enough so it gets a month and a half or so before iPhone 5s and Note 3 hoopla. It's a very competitive market, but this device with a cool, unique hardware accessory could be a winner in the US. Very excited!
Posted via CB10
Really not necessary. BlackBerry needs to focus on improving the current experience on their flagship BB10 devices. Multiple devices that do the same thing won't solve much. Focus on what you already put out BlackBerry!
Posted via CB10
Agreed. They should just roll out 10.2 or 10.3 faster and focus on improving the software first. Next, they should offer more differentiation, a smart watch, a smart dock or anything else is better than a bigger Z10.
Posted via CB10
I hope they do bring this phone up to a truly competitive level. It just sucks I have my Z10 And I'm not one to go and drop so much money on a phone so I'm gonna have to wait for another 2 1/2 years:( . I love the os (except the rebooting...), but the sound sucks, the voice command is the dumbest ever, plus I hope they do something with the phone case itself. I despise this phones casing. Bring back the smooth identifiably blackberry edges like the torch. This phone sucks to hold to my ear.
Btw, does any seriously believe that's the aristo? Looks like a z10 to me. Look at the letter distancing from the edges, looks equal to my z. I bet cb will post a retraction article for the false alarm.

I just want to know when will the a10 be released so I can plan on selling my Z to get the A10!!

Its looking pretty good but I don't think its real. Too much Mr. Blurry cam to see the device.
Needs a 4.8" screen min (just go with the 5"), 1080p, quad core CPU, 2-3GB ram, 32 GB ram (with expansion capability), gorilla glass 3 (crack the current variant and you have dead phone), highest PPI in industry, Super OLED and not look like a Z10 run over by a steam roller.
Remember this phone has to go toe to toe with not only the SG4, HTC One but the new Moto/Google flagship and most importantly the iPhone 6. The latter which will have a 4.8-5" screen, new CPU, new GPU, better screen, more memory, better cameras, thinner, smaller bezel and running iOS7. Coupled with a billion$$ in Ads & lots of carrier support. Imagine the media blitz the iPhone 6 will have if it ticks all the outstanding boxes. It will drown out every other phone on the market for a good two-four months.
BB cannot afford to come to that party with what looks like a Droid mid range phone (in terms of design)
Come up short and its bye bye birdie at XMAS time and into 2014.
Bye bye birdy? LOL. What?

BlackBerry developers need to be let go. When you come out with a flagship phone that's already behind the power curve, don't release it. Your developers might be able to defend the specs, but the general buying public that aren't developers will see the specs as inadequate or below par with the competition. Why can't BB get things right already????
I could be judging too quickly but I don't the physical appeal at all in this model

It was fine for me a new polished Z: some aluminum, some fine materials, A COMPLETE SOFTWARE! And so on. For me 5 inch is too much...and mean less. A phone us be a phone and maneuverable with one hand...most of the time. if it is not possible, sorry there is another device, not a phone.

Now that I see it. I might be getting it. Just one thing. I want to see how big it is next to a Q10. Then I will know.
Posted via CB10
although I'm going to reserve full judgment for when the final product comes out....based on this picture I'm not so sure its going to be a hit design wise. It doesnt really wow me. I saw someone with the HTC One today and I actually thought it looked pretty cool.
specs wise, BB definitely needs to step it up. If they're going to try to regain market share, they need to stop doing what they've been doing which is coming to the party late. They need to bring specs that other phones don't have right now. quad core is a DEFINITE. 3-4gb ram would be great too.

Why can't the screen be wider and taller with the same size z10?
Posted via CB10
The fuck, dual core? What does BB think this is, 2011?
I don't like the look of the phone. Expected a different look and feel. Not a z10 replacement. But like I've been telling my friend, it's not the cpu or ram. It's how you use it. BlackBerry is the most efficient phone out there right now. It's amazing what the z10 achieves with it's current specs. So a small hardware upgrade will definitely put the a10 on par with the other phones.
Posted via CB10
This "brick" will bring BB10 to the next level!? The next Droid and iPhone release will eat the A10 up! I'm going to pretend I never saw this!
Posted via CB10
YES, the Z10 is a very nice looking phone, much much better than the S4 by far.
As for specs, well Quad-Core is nothing more than a Gimmick. I rather have a fast Dual-Core CPU with a beefy graphics and 4GB of Ram versus a Quad-Core that will most likely just kill your battery anyway.
Also you will not be able to tell the difference between screen resolutions whether they be 1080p or 720p, its a 5" screen for goodness sakes lol,
dual core that's all? I won't buying it for the extra .8 inches of screen if it only comes with a dual core CPU.
Is it just me, or is the photo just a white z10
I put my z10 on an angle and it looks exactly like the photo
Am I missing something?

No thanks. Still happy with my Z.

I seem to remember someone at BlackBerry saying they weren't going to deviate from the two screen sizes now out to make it easier on developers. Maybe it was just sticking with the same resolution though.
Posted via CB10
I also like the design.... would love the quality of the Q10 with the Z10 design in 4.8in or 5in 1080p design. Anything less would be hung mistake for blackberry and I would take it as the same old mistakes RIM did in the past. After all, there's is going to be are lot's of 1080p quad core phone by September. (LG, Sony, Samsung, HTC, etc.)
i share the sentiment being expressed by some people here- Blackberry has got to go big on the specs, and market the heck out of these phones with smart and witty techniques.
I doubt that Apple will release a 5 inch phone this year, so this is a great time to become one of the leaders in this market segment.
In terms of the design, it's not too bad, but im not "wowed"
Posted on my Q10
WOW..
This came from BGR, so I guess their report on hardware specs is correct. If that's the case, it's a BIG FAIL for BB. Again hardware a generation behind and it will most likely be priced at $$$ as the top of the line Android devices that are faster, with 1080 screens and more.
When will TH and gang learn from past mistakes already?
Will it be deja vu all over again for BB shareholders? During the Q3 conference call on 20-Dec, Herr Heins will apologize to shareholders that the A10 will be LATE. It was once again a very tough decision. The device won't arrive until very, very late in Q1 F2014. It will be curtains for BB. On a different front, directors and management gurus Stymiest and Martin will announce they are co-authoring a new book "A post mortem of our directorship at BB."
For the flagship device, the screen size is nice but I would b looking for a quad core processor & 3GB of RAM. I hope to see that in this "flagship" device.
I actually really like the design if that is indeed the A10.

I'm sold. But what will I do with my Zed10?? I don't want to trade it. :( I guess I'll pay full price for the A10. Any ideas about the "special" specs???
Posted via CB10
Why are people so caught up with specs? Specs are not important, it's how the device runs. If I run Microsoft Word on a machine with 4gb of Ram and then run it on a machine with 16gb of Ram I will not see any difference because the program doesn't even require the 4gb, far less the 16. Samsung has to push specs because they are using the same OS as countless other phones but that doesn't mean the user benefits. The Z10 runs BlackBerry 10 without a hitch on 2gb of Ram. This is because the OS is efficient at managing the memory. Why should they release a phone with more than 2gb when the OS does everything quickly and smoothly on 2gb?
Posted via CB10
Too small there isn't enough differentiation between the A10 and Z10
5.7" looks right.
Keep some sharp corners, don't make it shapeless like the Samsung blobs.
Posted via CB10
It would be unique if they could make the whole front glass with no bezel, use the new super thin display that LG announced, quad core, minimum 2GB memory, 13mp camera on rear, 2+ on front, nfc, motion sensor so don't even have to touch the screen, gorilla glass 3, super thin like the new Sony Ultra. Anyway some of what I would like to see and as someone mentioned preloaded with all the apps you would normally like to have. This has to be good, really good or they are dead in the water. It would be nice if they listened as in past when we have had leaks, the product when released looked pretty much like the leak.
Whatever they do I really hope they bring back the dedicated shutter button and convenience keys. Unfortunately, BlackBerry has a history to be late to the game and by the time it releases the specs will be outdated. The only thing I see saving BlackBerry is advertising, advertising, advertising and apps. They need to get their name out and show what it's capable of doing in commercials. Make it an awesome media and mp3 player device. I would love it if they brought widgets for it as the OS looks kind of plain and it's what's happening to Apple with their iPhones.
Some of the apps I'd like to see are:
HIIT Interval Training
Stopwatch & Timer
HBOGO
Android MP3 Pro
MP3 Music Download
Sling Box
Torque OBD Check
Google Nav
Overall I'd really like to see a better way (easy one) to transfer from any other phone i.e Samsung, Apple, Windows phone etc. to BlackBerry. Link still sucks!
It's a fake. LoL
Posted via CB10
It looks like a very close-up pic of a Z10 that couldn't decide if it was white or black. The competition amongst high end/flag ship touchscreen devices is very, very strong. The A10 really needs a keyboard if it is to stand out and sell. If that's not in the cards, Blackberry may want to offer an optional mini bluetooth keyboard. This would be my ideal device if it had a landscape slider.
Z10 is perfect size for me though but some might like the bugger A10 good for BlackBerry for having a bigger device.

No Simon, we aren't expecting it to be 1280 X 720, we are expecting a 1920 X 1024 full hd 450ppi if not 500. And a quad core not dual, among other aspects.

Looks like bull squirt to me. Funny angle on a Z10.
Posted via CB10
Don't expect a resolution higher than 1280 x 720 pixel resolution unless they want to suffer the wraith from the developers (that is the resolution they told us for their post Z10 device). Otherwise, double the resolution to 2560 x 1440 pixel... I highly doubt they will do that though. They just need to have at least one compelling feature (like Nokia's camera) to get people to buy it.
What the difference? 1280x720.... 1920 x1080 and 2560 x 1440 are all the same? ...... Their all 1.78-1
Bbry failed at the playbook and z10. The best solution was thor to combine the fail into the lovechild aristo phablet. I have a feeling it's just a bunch of butt slapping and high fives at bbry, they really don't get it.

Come on! Why compete with big touch screen phones in the current market?? I seriously doubt this A10 will do all that well regardless of the specs. BBRY should focus on their strength! Keyboards! Come out with a big screen big QWERTY keyboard device and it will be a hit!
As a Storm9500>Storm2-9520>Torch9800>Bold9900>Q10 BlackBerry user and a shareholder, I seriously and sincerely hope to see BBRY succeed but I am perplexed and disappointed with their recent launch marketing efforts, and device decisions (eg. launch of another OS7 device).

Q10 with a 4inch screen would be awesome we will call it X10

Get real BB, Another flop on the way.
I love my Z10 size is perfect, I love to use it just with one hand.
Phones with screens bigger than 5 are a joke!
I am VERY disappointed with the aesthetics of this phone are terrible, in my opinion. If your going to have a phablet then you need to take the largest screen and place it on the tiniest case possible, little to no bezel, the front is just pure beautiful screen. This phone already looks old to me.
I have the Q for work, my wife has the Z, and I was waiting on the A for my personal device, but now I just feel so dissapointed. I thought it would be visually pleasing and powerful. Now I doubt it will be either! I know beauty is subjective, but I can't believe anybody would find this phone pleasing to look at. To each their own.
Quad-core processor and 1080p display. Anything else would disappoint!

Almost every leaked pic of an upcoming BlackBerry product has always been called ugly, nasty, "looks like the _____"....

Not for me as its all touch.... But bb needs 6' screen (not 5) a quad core and 3 gig of ram and atleast 32gig storage (lol and a huge battery so it lasts more than an hour) ... Cos it needs it? Nope... To keep up with the jones's... The A10 needs to be the one that completes on specs
And atleast a 1920 x 1080 screen resolution
+1 on the resolution.
But a 5" screen is big enough. 6" is silly IMO.
Posted via CB10
I'm hearing ya.. I think 6' is silly too.... But it needs it to compete with the note 2/3
Guys, I remember after the launch on Z and Q that Thor said that he was really excited about a specific product. He said exactly : "It takes BlackBerry 10 to another level in terms of the user experience". Do you guys really think he was talking about a bigger Z10? With the same specs but 5"? Sorry, I just can't believe that! Besides that we all know Z and Q will become mid devices. How a top device can share specs with mid device? Just nonsense for me!
Posted via CB10
Your logic makes perfect sense, but if it turns out to be a dual core...
Will any of us really be surprised??

I can tell you right now that that image has been altered. Look at the top left of the phone. You can tell it was edited. Q10/Z10 mixture. I bet my life on it.
Cool. They should be coming out with a sharp new design, one that catches other phone users eyes. I like this design but it doesn't have the wow factor. With the market so competitive one of the only things you can do to improve product image is hardware design, or a sensor that warns you to look up when a hot chick walks by.

I don't care what the specs are. As long as it loads web pages more completely, and more quickly than any other phone out there.
It should load applications more quickly and allow them to all run at top speed when loaded alongside of several other applications. All this whole running many other headless application processes.
All with no lag.
P.S. Kind of like the Z10 does now. For me anyways.

I want somebody to design a phone that's just one big bezel. No ram. All you do is look at it and it does stuff for you. Levitates too

I hope that they provide a more solid backdoor. I'm now using the third backdoor on our Z10 and that only after 4 months. Cheap crap...

What are you doing to your battery door? I've had mine since Canadian launch and it still works as it did when I got it. Sucks that you've had that experience. I guess it's good they were just on sale for like 50 percent off the other day.

Same. I do too many battery pulls on this thing to keep it running right, and it's starting to show. Makes a stupid crackly noise when you apply light pressure to the back.
Allegedly they won't have a removable battery door on the A10. Hopefully that makes for a more solid device.
