A detailed video running down all the features of the L-Series BlackBerry 10 phone we’ll see early next year has appeared on the internet. Unfortunately, its in Vietnamese.
Still, the video, posted by the Vietnamese site Tinh Te, provides one of the first detailed looks at a phone that RIM has kept secret. The company is staking its comeback on its next-generation phones and the operating system that will run them, so it’s no surprise that leaks happen. A good leak is better than bad press, which RIM has gotten a lot of lately.
The walkthrough covers many of the features RIM has been sharing with developers at its BlackBerry Jam events. The Hub, BB10′s home for notifications and messages, is closely detailed. The Flow UI shows off the phone’s ability to quickly access the most-used features of the phone and the back of the phone is removed to show off a removable battery.
The leaked phone is compared to the bulkier Dev Alpha B phone RIM has handed out to developers. And at the end of the video the iPhone 5 makes a cameo appearance. The L-Series phone seems to be a little taller than the iPhone 5 in the video. Of course, we’ll have to wait until the phone actually hits the market, or another more in-depth leak surfaces with detailed measurements.
We should expect more leaks and news out of RIM as the Jan. 30, 2013, BlackBerry 10 launch event approaches. The event could be a sink-or-swim date for the company. In addition to having to woo casual customers, the company needs to win back businesses that have all but abandoned the handset maker in favor of Android and iOS phones.
