It is also a general consensus that thehandset will be launched runningBlackBerry 10.2 out of thebox.
Earlier this month, specificationsof the handsethad been
leaked. And the information looked like it was a slide taken right off a BlackBerry presentation. One of the stand out new feature that we can see in theA10 is themassive battery. With 2,800 mAh of juice,the phone shouldhave a fairlylong battery lifedespite the larger 5-inch display. Other thanthis, we can now also see that the A10 measures 140.7x72x9.4 mm. However, the Verizon-only variant of the A10 seems to be thicker, measuring 9.7mm.
The A10 may have an 8-megapixel rear camera, and a 2-megapixelfront-facing camera. Memory wise, the handset is equippedwith 16GB of internal storage, along with a hot-swappable microSD card slot which can be used to shove inan extra 64GB. Connectivity options seem to includeLTE with thestandard Wi-Fi, 3G and GPS functionality. It will also have NFC and DLNA.

5-inch BlackBerry A10 to have large 2,800 mAh battery and quad-core GPU
While we've seen bits and pieces of the rumoured BlackBerry A10 here and there, we finally have some specifications to go on. The specifications were leaked by
CrackBerry forum member nereuszeer, and reveal quite a bit about the handset. The leak looks like it was a slide taken right off a BlackBerry presentation.
One of the biggest new features that we can see in the A10 is the massive battery. With 2,800 mAh of juice,the phone should have quite a battery life despite the larger 5-inch display. Other than this, we can now also see that the A10 measures 140.7x72x9.4 mm. However, the Verizon variant of the A10 seems to be thicker, measuring 9.7mm.
The A10 will have an 8-megapixel rear camera, and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. Memory wise, the handset is equipped with 16GB of internal storage, along with a hot-swappable microSD card slot which can be used to shove in an extra 64GB. Connectivity options seem to include LTE with the standard Wi-Fi, 3G and GPS functionality. It will also have NFC and DLNA. Under the hood, the handset will run on a dual-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon S4 processor, and the graphics will be handled by a quad-core GPU.
We already have a fair idea of what the handset will look like thanks to earlier leaks. It is worth noting, however, that despite the similarity the A10 has to theZ10 in terms of looks,the A10 will be a larger phone with a 5-inch display. The A10 will run on the latest version of BlackBerry 10 right out of the box, which is rumoured to be BlackBerry 10.2 by the time of the handset's launch.
