BlackBerry 10 to hit Indian stores on Monday

February 25, 2013 07:59

Smartphone maker BlackBerry will unveil its new line of BlackBerry 10-powered devices in the country on Monday.

The launch in India follows the global launch of the new operating system and two devices -- Z10 and Q10 -- powered by the new platform on January 30.

The phones will be introduced at an event in Mumbai, the Canada-based company said in an invitation sent to media.

However, the pricing details of the phone were not available.

The struggling smartphone maker has also re-christened itself as 'BlackBerry' from Research in Motion earlier as it looks to turn around its fortunes with the new launch.

The company, which pioneered email on the go, is now undertaking a "journey of transformation of business and brand".

The two devices -- Z10 and Q10 -- will compete with Apple's iPhone and those based on Google's Android operating system, which have gained popularity across the world.
