BlackBerry Z10 now available for $100 with T-Mobile on two-year contract, or $532 without one

blackberry-z10-1Ahead of its New York event, T-Mobile has put the BlackBerry Z10 up for sale on its website, where it’s available for $100. This isn’t all you pay though, as to get the Z10 at that price, you also need to splash out an additional $18 per month for the duration of a 24 month contract. Alternatively, you can buy the Z10 without any contract at all, when you’ll need $532 sitting idle in your bank account.

Although you’ve probably heard enough about the BlackBerry Z10 over the past few weeks, here’s a quick reminder on what BlackBerry’s newest touchscreen phone has to offer. It has a 4.2-inch screen with a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, a dual-core, 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory. Of course, the BlackBerry 10 operating system is the phone’s primary highlight.

Comparison of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite and MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processors.

The flagship mobile silicon race has entered its next phase, one that will dictate the trajectory of Android hardware heading into 2025. Merely weeks after MediaTek wowed us with the Dimensity 9400 system on a chip (SoC), Qualcomm also pulled a surprise with the reveal of the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
