BlackBerry 10.3 - Early Video Demo

Last month we got some early glimpses of the upcoming BlackBerry 10.3 software update in the form of some screenshots. Now a video has been released showing some of the features that are headed to the BlackBerry 10 platform. The video shows one of the most eagerly awaited - a BlackBerry digital personal assistant called Intelligent Assistant.

This function will offer the same service provided by Siri, Google Now and Cortana but the video shows that it is still in an early stage of development.

Additionally we see new camera features, such as the panoramic feature. The latter has received high praise from those who have tested this setting. A self timer is now included for selfies, along with settings for HDR, and resolution. There is a new photo gallery for your pictures, along with a new Automatic Stories feature that splices together pictures and video by time and location. The idea is that you can create a visual story.

The home page is much more attractive with those ugly grey backgrounds in back of app icons removed in place of a tiny drop shadow. BlackBerry Hub now features a flatter UI in BlackBerry 10.3. The accent color in Hub has been changed to orange from blue. Another color change is found with the web loading bar, which is now green. The update focuses on Black and Red in BlackBerry 10.3, and many of the applications sport red accents.

You can see more of the features and take a closer look at the upcoming BlackBerry 10.3 software update in the following video
