New BlackBerry A10 leaked pictures show large 5-inch display

Want to see what BlackBerry's upcoming high-end handset, dubbed the A10, will look like? According to VR-Zone, the leaked pictures show the handset's front and back sides. The pictures show a large 5-inch display on the A10. Other than this, however, there’s not much to see, since, the handset appears to follow the same design principle as the Z10. It is also a general consensus that the handset will be launched running BlackBerry 10.2 out of the box.

The large 5-inch display

Earlier this month, specifications of the handset had 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 the A10 is the massive battery. With 2,800 mAh of juice, the phone should have a fairly long 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-only variant of the A10 seems to be thicker, measuring 9.7mm.

The back seems to have some sort of texture under that plastic

The A10 may 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.

Once again, the display
