Canadian company Research in Motion is throwing itself back into the smartphone market with two new releases in 2013.

RIM’s CEO unveiled the Blackberry Z10 and the Blackberry Q10 on Wednesday.

The Z10 uses a touch screen while the Q10 has a QWERTY-keyboard.

CBC reported that one new feature on both phones is predictive text in three languages.

The new Blackberries also boast an updated web browser and higher quality back-and-front cameras.

The past year Research in Motion struggled to keep up with competitors Apple and Google.

The company hopes to spark a comeback with these new smartphones.

RIM also announced that it’s changing the company’s name to “Blackberry”

Canadians will be the first to get their hands on a new Blackberry.

The Z10 will be available in Canada on Feb. 5
