These devices are powered by Single Core 1.2GHz Processors and RAM included is 768MB plus all these have NFC support.

The BlackBerry Bold which is also known as Bold Touch is the slimest BlackBerry Phone ever at 10.5mm. It's OS is BB OS 7, and utilizes a 1.2GHz CPU, 8 gigs of expandable memory and a 2.8" VGA (640x480) 287 dpi (close to the Retina's 326 dots per inch) capacitive touchscreen. It has a 5 MP autofocus camera with 720p video recording. In terms of looks, it takes after the previous line of Bold devices with no significant changes to the exterior. It's made out of high-quality brushed stainless steel.
