BlackBerry Q10- a review

Doing at what they are best in, BB challenges the business by its qwerty baby. However, the Canadians are still lacking at what they were, as business is not the same anymore. Even BlackBerry has gone under hectic revolutions. The new OS10 is all new gesture loaded OS, coming out of the conventional cage.  However talking to the new Q10, here we are..


Key features

  • Four-row hardware QWERTY keyboard
  • Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, tri/quad-band UMTS/HSPA, 100 Mbps LTE
  • 3.1" 16M-color 720p (720 x 720 pixels) Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen
  • Dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait, 2GB RAM, Adreno 225 (LTE version) /Dual-core 1.5 GHz ARM Cortex-A9, 2GB RAM, PowerVR SGX544 (non-LTE)

  • BlackBerry Hub is a unified inbox of all your communication and social networking accounts
  • BBM with video chat and screen sharing
  • Impressively good 8 MP auto-focus camera with face detection and Time Shift; LED flash
  • Full HD (1080p) video recording at 30fps; 720p on the front-facing camera
  • 2MP front facing camera

  • Bluetooth 4.0
  • NFC

Main disadvantages

  • Brand new UI has a steep learning curve

  • No FM radio
  • BlackBerry World is still missing key apps
  • Screen size is too small by today's standards and the 1:1 aspect is awkward for video watching
