=== Hardware ===
Modern [[LTE (telecommunication)|LTE]] based phones such as the [[BlackBerry Z10]] have a Qualcomm [[Snapdragon (system on chip)|Snapdragon S4 Plus]], a proprietary Qualcomm [[System on a chip|SOC]] which is based on ARMv7-A architecture, featuring two 1.5&nbsp;GHz [[Qualcomm Krait]] CPU cores, and a 400&nbsp;MHz Adreno 225 GPU. [[GSM]]-based BlackBerry phones incorporate an [[ARM architecture|ARM]] 7, 9 or 11 processor.<ref name="manuals">{{cite web |url=http://docs.blackberry.com/en/ |title=Manuals and Guides |website=BlackBerry |date=January 24, 2011 |access-date=January 24, 2011}}</ref> Some of the BlackBerry models (Torch 9850/9860, Torch 9810, and Bold 9900/9930) have a 1.2&nbsp;GHz MSM8655 Snapdragon S2 SOC, 768 MB system memory, and 8 GB of on-board storage.<ref name="manuals" /><ref>{{cite web |url=http://fccid.net/document.php?id=786388 |title=RBK40CG Handheld BlackBerry with CDMA and Bluetooth Teardown Internal Photos BlackBerry Limited |website=FCC ID Database}}</ref> Entry-level models, such as the Curve 9360, feature a Marvell PXA940 clocked at 800&nbsp;MHz.

Some previous BlackBerry devices, such as the Bold 9000, were equipped with Intel XScale 624&nbsp;MHz processors.<ref>{{cite news |last=Gardner |first=W.

The [[BlackBerry Curve 8520|Curve 8520]] featured a 512&nbsp;MHz processor, while BlackBerry 8000 series smartphones, such as the 8700 and the Pearl, are based on the 312&nbsp;MHz [[ARM architecture|ARM]] [[XScale]] ARMv5TE PXA900. An exception to this is the BlackBerry 8707 which is based on the 80&nbsp;MHz Qualcomm 3250 chipset; this was due to the PXA900 chipset not supporting 3G networks. The 80&nbsp;MHz processor in the BlackBerry 8707 meant the device was often slower to download and render web pages over 3G than the 8700 was over [[EDGE (telecommunication)|EDGE]] networks. Early BlackBerry devices, such as the [[BlackBerry 950]], used [[Intel 80386]]-based processors.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blackberrycool.com/2005/07/13/00641/2/ |title=RIM Circa 1999: BlackBerry History Revisited |date=July 13, 2005 |website=BlackBerry Cool |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071215063954/http://blackberrycool.com/2005/07/13/00641/2/ |archive-date=December 15, 2007 |access-date=January 31, 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Strietelmeier |first=Julie |url=http://the-gadgeteer.com/2001/02/26/rim_blackberry_950_review/ |title=RIM BlackBerry 950 Review |website=The-Gadgeteer.com |date=February 26, 2001}}</ref>
