BlackBerry allegedly plans to launch its next flagship smartphone, called the BlackBerry A10, during the holidays.
CNET reported on Wednesday that BlackBerry's forthcoming all-touchscreen handset - pegged as the high-end successor to the Z10 - will sport the next-generation BlackBerry 10 operating system. The report also said BlackBerry hopes the A10 will "keep up with the likes of the next iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S4," as well as "cater to consumers of varying income levels" by pushing the Z10 and Q10 to mid-tier and Q5 to the lowest tier.
Citing a person familiar with the carrier's launch plans, CNET said US carrier Sprint Nextel, which passed on the Z10, plans to offer BlackBerry's next smartphone in November. The carrier reportedly has no plans to sell it as a top-tier device, but AT&T and Verizon might since Sprint does not have an exclusive agreement with Blackberry.
There are no pictures of the A10 currently available, and CNET further warned that the device's final name could still change.
