While BlackBerry didn’t divulge much in the way of the Q10’s specs, it did note that the device comes with what’s called a “glass weave cover.” “You won’t find it on any other device. It is thinner, lighter, and stronger than plastic,” Heins said.

Slightly more standard is the Z10, an all-touch device that features a 4.2-inch screen, 1.5GHz processor, and 16GB of internal storage.

We’ll have more information about the devices as BlackBerry announces it.
