BlackBerry Laguna specs revealed?

Published

on

RIM does seem to be on the verge of something good here (great might be too strong a word methinks, how about you?), where they intend to make quite the splash with the BlackBerry 10 operating system that is tipped to boast of a new gesture-based user interface. Well, it seems that specifications for the BlackBerry Laguna has leaked out, where this L-series device will most probably be the CDMA version of the BlackBerry London.

It will most probably come with a 4.2” display that carries a 1280 x 768 resolution, with a pixel density that stands at a rather impressive 355ppi. What other goodies can you find underneath the hood? Well, we are looking at a dual-core Krait processor that will be accompanied by 1GB RAM, LTE support, dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n with mobile hotspot and Wi-Fi direct, NFC and a microHDMI port. Other than that, you will find an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p video shooting capability, 16GB of internal memory, and a hot-swappable microSD memory card. Not only that, an 1800mAh battery will keep the BlackBerry Laguna powered.

Karalux Extends Midas Touch To BlackBerry Priv

karalux-priv-1Back in the day, it was anathema to think that Apple computers would run on Intel processors, and Apple machines would have Microsoft Office running on them. Well, those days have long since arrived and gone, and it looks like to hear of a BlackBerry device running on Android? Now that’s what is going to happen with the BlackBerry Priv, where the folks over at Vietnam-based Karalux have something special up their sleeves for this handset, that is, by offering a gold-plating service.

It is going to be more challenging than usual though, as Karalux shared, “Unlike the previous generations, it is a little bit more difficult to disassemble BlackBerry Priv. Karalux engineers took nearly 2 hours to ‘operate’ its details, and spent 4 more hours with more than 10 different procedures to complete the first gold-plated BlackBerry Priv in Vietnam.”

The handset and gold-plating will cost $1,111 thereabouts, whereas international customers will have to fork out more at approximately $1,350 to bring one of these puppies back home. [Press Release]

blackberry-10-logo-602x316It looks like BlackBerry has not decided to call it quits just yet where the smartphone market is concerned, and this time around, their unannounced smartphone has been given the codename BlackBerry Venice. What makes the BlackBerry Venice special is the fact that this could very well be one of BlackBerry’s very first devices that will run on the Android mobile operating system.

In recent times, we have heard that the BlackBerry Venice ought to be made available some time down the road over at AT&T. Apparently, @evleaks claims that this new handset, too, will be sold by T-Mobile, although there is no exact word on availability.

Whispers on the street point to the BlackBerry Venice arriving later this November. I guess all that we can do now is to sit tight and wait.
