BlackBerry launched its new OS software at the end of January, introducing as well the touch-screen BlackBerry Z10 smartphone and the keyboard-equipped Q10. The Z10 is so far available in the U.K., Canada, and India, and is expected to make its arrival in the U.S. later this month. BlackBerry 10 is an important advancement for the company formerly known as RIM as it attempts to hang tough against the giants iOS and Android.
Outside of the aforementioned updates, BlackBerry 10’s new software comes with better camera functionality in low-light situations and enhanced video-playback handling in the browser. The update also includes battery life optimizations.
The BlackBerry 10 update is being rolled out now. The download is approximately 150MB in size. BlackBerry says that it’ll be made available to all of its carrier partners “over the coming weeks.”
