The UIQ Evangelist

The news (and rumours) about a successor to the Z8 was circulating in the internet since last year. Infact, during the Symbian Smartphone Show in London, Motorola showed a couple of Z10 prototypes but reporters are prohibited from taking photos of them.

Today, Motorola officially announced the Z10, making it the 2nd Symbian UIQ 3  smartphone from the US cellphone giant. What’s underneath Z10? Here are some specs :

MOTO Z10 QUICKSPECS
- Expandable memory up to 4GB with microSD™ (32GB when available)
- Stores up to 12 full length movies and 40 hours of music by using the external memory
