"RIM is set to announce the first devices running its new BlackBerry 10 operating system at an event on January 30. A lucky few, however, have already gotten their hands on what looks to be the new hardware, including German site TelekomPresse.\nThe site has the BlackBerry Z10, a touchscreen device with a similar look to some of the other popular smartphones out there \u2014 especially the iPhone 5.\nCurious to see how the two compared, they put them side-by-side in the video above, running through both the physical design of both devices as well as some of their features.\nNotably, the video shows a Siri-like voice control functionality in BlackBerry 10, that we haven\u2019t seen previously. As you can see in the test above, it beats Siri for speed.\nSEE ALSO: RIM Adds 15,000 BlackBerry 10 Apps in a Weekend\nWhile similar at first glance, design-wise the two phones do have some differences. The Z10 has a 4.2-inch screen, slightly larger than the iPhone 5\u2019s 4-inch display. Both phones have a power button on top, however, the button on the BlackBerry is in the center of the top of the phone, while the iPhone\u2019s is on the right on the device.  \nThe volume controls are on the right side of the Z10, and left side of the iPhone 5. When it comes to power, the connection for the iPhone 5 is on the bottom of the device with the headphone jack, while the HDMI and USB connections on the Z10 are located on the left.\nCheck out the video above for a look at the full comparison of the two devices. Are you looking forward to BlackBerry 10? Can the new OS save RIM? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.\n\n\nRIM Shows Off More of BlackBerry 10\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlackBerry 10 Lock Screen\nYou unlock a BlackBerry 10 device by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSwipe Up to Unlock\nWhen you swipe up, the lock screen dissolves into the home screen on the device.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSwipe to Change Screens\nSwiping to the side brings up additional pages of apps.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTap to Change Pages\nYou can also navigate through pages of apps by tapping on the scroll bar on the bottom of the screen.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nActive Frames\nTaking a page from Windows Phone, RIM is adding \u201CActive Frames\u201D to BB10. Much like the \"Live Tiles\u201D found in Windows Phone, the frames update with information you can see at a glance. For instance, the weather app will show the current temperature as well as a 7-day forecast, the calendar app shows your next event for the day.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSwipe for BlackBerry Hub\nBlackBerry Hub can be accessed by swiping across the screen.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContacts\nContact cards include phone numbers, email addresses and social-networking details.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Groups\nRIM is taking the look and feel of its home screen and bringing it into groups. Active frames make an appearance in groups, allowing you to see chats pertaining to a particular group, people who are a part of the group, and photos that have been uploaded. Pictures change as they are uploaded to the group, so if someone uploads a new one then that image will change on the group's page.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContacts Are Accessible From Groups\nTapping on a person in a group will bring up his or her contact card.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPick a Focus Point\nTaking photos in BlackBerry 10 starts out much like taking photos with any other OS, with the ability to tap on any portion of the photo to focus on a specific portion of the frame.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdjust Your Photo\nIf a photo you take is blurry, or someone in the picture has his or her eyes closed, you can use the scroll bar on the bottom of the screen to move forward and backward in time to capture the perfect shot.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdjust Individual Faces\nMuch like you can adjust a whole picture, you can also pic out individual faces in a photo to adjust. So, if one friend has her eyes closed in a picture, you can just adjust herface in the photo.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
