The BlackBerry Q10 is a touchscreen-based QWERTY smartphone developed by BlackBerry, previously known as RIM (Research In Motion). The BlackBerry Q10 is the second of two BlackBerry smartphones unveiled at the BlackBerry 10 event on January 30, 2013.[2]

Hardware

The device has the company's distinctive QWERTY keyboard similar to that found on the BlackBerry Bold series and a 3.1-inch square Super-AMOLED capacitive multi-touch display (built on 77 µm pixel size).[3] The screen displays at 720x720 px resolution at 328 ppi. This is the first device based on new BlackBerry 10 OS to have physical keyboard; another first is a HDMI port to connect a TV or monitor to the cellphone.[4]
