On Monday, we showed you some screenshots from BlackBerry 10.3. Now, a deeper look inside the OS build finds a number of 1080p assets for core apps like Box, Clock and Dropbox. The super high-spec'd Windermere, with its wide QWERTY keyboard, is believed to have a resolution of 1440 x 1440. The BlackBerry Ontario has been rumored to have a resolution of 1080 x 1920.
A 1080 x 1920 FHD screen has not yet been seen on a BlackBerry device. Under CEO John Chen, BlackBerry promises to catch-up to the higher spec'd Android and Windows Phone models. And while most top-shelf Android models are still sticking with a 1080p display for now, Oppo has kicked off the QHD generation by launching the 1440 x 2560 resolution Oppo Find 7.
CEO John Chen has alluded to a super spec'd 'Berry with a 64-bit octa-core chip. Originally rumored to be released in 2015, the most recent rumor has the device coming to market by this September. This could be the Windermere, which is believed to use a unique QWERTY keyboard that combines the pressing of keys like on a physical QWERTY, and the slight tapping on keys like on a touchscreen.
