    Here is excerpt from the article: Two rumored handsets are both BlackBerry models. The BlackBerry Z50 will allegedly become the new flagship model for the Canadian manufacturer sporting a 5.2 inch screen with resolution of 1080 x 1920, and a quad-core processor. This phone is rumored to be the first BlackBerry model out of the gate in Q3 of 2014. Lastly, the BlackBerry Q30 will be a flagship QWERTY equipped model for BlackBerry. The BlackBerry Q30 is expected to arrive in the second quarter of 2014. If all this is true, it sounds like new CEO John Chen is not going to let BlackBerry go down without a fight.

    Z50 will release Q3 2014?? BlackBerry is alway behind the competition. Samsung will release an Octa Core with Rounded Display.

    Other 0.00001% of the geek population no one on this cares about processing after you get buy a basic dual core, old snapdragon.

    The octo core crap, just marketing for the niche geeks.

    Blackberry is smart using older cores, no one cares.

    Aha, and what is the reasen Samsung is so successful with Galaxy S series??
    If not the powerful hardware is the reasen ppl buy Samsung than what is the reason? The cheap build quality?
    0.00001 % geek population? Where are you living man? Time has change.

    "Just Marketing "

    Yes " just Marketing " but this is the key to be successful nothing else!! BlackBerry is far away from this.

    Well core numbers will matter for the android runtime. And given the new direction for the runtime we �an Suspect that BlackBerry will use android stores as a second source to kill the app gap

    This is too long of a wait. BlackBerry needs to bring products to the market fast and furious so people know they are still alive. Q1 for the Q30 and Q2 for Z50. Specs will be fine. But has to come out then.

    The Z50 and Z30 names havr been mention on the crackberry forums for awhile now (which someone might of just made up the names), so that is nothing new and remember Kevin has already hinted at the new blackberry roadmap with his poem. When it comes to phone arena I take their information on blackberry devices with a grain of salt, as phone arena miss quoted blackberry's interm ceo making it seems that blackberry was going to get rid of either all touchscreen devices or all keyboard devices. What the interm ceo actually said was he was going to make a decision on what blackberry device that he was going to carry around himself; a touchscreen device or a keyboard device.

    I will be fine with Blackberry releasing new phones still running quad processors because just having an octa processor does not mean that it is going to have better performance than a quad. As long as the new device have quad processor that is 64 bit, memory at 3 GB or above, better camera and running a stable 10.2.1 or higher, then I will be more than happy to switch to verizon to get the q30.

    Case in point, the new Air uses the most modern thing you can use in the mobile space right now:
    A 64 bit processor.

    Rumor, not leak.

    That means I will not believe on the specs told of the z50.

    The specs by that time could be more than that, or less.

    Well was considering the Z30 but then I might as well hold off. It's not avaliable where I'm at anyway. Another thing that puzzles me is they won't have any upgrade for the z10 at all (4.2 is by far the most common form factor)

    Sorry, but where did you get it from, that 4.2 inches is the most commonly used form factor? This confuses me a bit...
