Pictures of the BlackBerry 10 L-Series smartphone, codenamed London, have surfaced online again. This comes just days after RIM CEO Thorsten Heins was spotted using one of the same smartphones during an NBA game earlier this week. This time around, the images are showing the phone up close, and possibly in the avatar it will be unveiled in on 31st January 2013 when RIM takes the wraps off the entire upcoming BlackBerry 10 hardware and software ecosystem.
Earlier, we had seen pictures of the same phone alongside an iPhone 5, but the new series of photographs see it sitting next to a BlackBerry Bold 9780 smartphone. These pictures showed up on the BlackBerry centric site, Crackberry.com.
According to the rumor mills, the London device will sport a 4.2-inch (1280 x 768 pixel) display and a dual core processor will power it. This will be supported with 1GB of RAM, 16GB of on-board storage, a memory expansion slot and an 8MP camera. The other phone expected to be launched with the London is the one codenamed Nevada, which is said to sport a touchscreen as well as a trademark QWERTY keyboard BlackBerry devices are so famous for. Unfortunately, we have not seen a lot of leaks regarding the same.
From whatever we have seen in these leaked images, the London looks be slightly taller than the iPhone 5, but may not be as slim. We do not see any resemblance of the London to any existing smartphone, and the design looks minimalistic yet unique.
