There have been rumours over past few weeks about the new BlackBerry 10.3 update and the changes it will incorporate.

The upcoming update will reportedly not bring any major changes but add subtle UI enhancements such as the flatter look, improved iconography and other changes, reports CrackBerry.

Now Zona BlackBerry has posted a number of screenshots and changelog, which are reportedly from an early version of BlackBerry OS 10.3.0.140. As the listing suggests, the next update will feature voice assistant. Besides, it will bring a number of camera features including the option to record in 720p at 30 fps and 60 fps.
