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.

The Pixel 9a has been officially revealed, and while it's an eye candy, there are some visible cutbacks over the more premium Pixel 9 and 9 Pro series phones. The other cutbacks we don't see include lower RAM than the Pixel 9 phones, which can limit the new mid-ranger's ability to run AI applications, despite running the same Tensor G4 chipset.

Google's decision to limit the RAM to 8GB, compared to the 12GB on the more premium Pixel 9 phones, sacrifices its ability to run certain AI tasks locally. ArsTechnica has reported that as a result of the cost-cutting, Pixel 9a runs an "extra extra small" or XXS variant -- instead of the "extra small" variant on Pixel 9 -- of the Gemini Nano 1.0 model that drives on-device AI functions.
