BlackBerry Q10 Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 60.8 / 100

BlackBerry Q10 is a good cellphone released back in 2013, provisioned with a compact 3.1-inches multi touch display, a Dual-Core processor speeding at 1500 MHz, and 2 cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back camera and a 2 MP front-facing camera. But it's time to get into a bit more details.

This time, it seems like Blackberry forgot about optimizing the weight in this 4.9 oz cellphone. This phone is 4.71" long and 2.63 inches wide, but it is only able to pack a way smaller 3.1 inches screen. Though this phone is quite slim and comfortable it's not even close to being one of the thinnest phones you can find, with a thickness of 0.41 inches.

This cellphone is equipped with an astonishing 720 x 720 3.1" screen, making everything look amazing. This screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

Blackberry decided to build this phone with a high performance Dual-Core processor clocking at 1500 MHz, packed into the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 system chip and a huge 2 GB RAM. To collaborate with graphic calculations, it also uses a 400 MHz Adreno 225 GPU. This cellphone comes with aquite big 16 GB internal storage memory and an SD extension slot, allowing the user to store hundreds of apps without any trouble.

The BlackBerry Q10 has two cameras, an 8 megapixels back camera and a 2 mega-pixels front camera. It is also able to film 1920x1080 Full HD videos. The camera also has some useful features like flash, auto-focus and digital image stabilization.

This cellphone has wifi connection (and it can provide it to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G fast connection type and fast 3G internet connection, supported by HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card for GSM services and it can connect to both CDMA and GSM.

This phone features a 2100 mAh massive Li-Ion battery providing this cellphone a good battery duration. Blackberry informs a stand by time of 367 hs and a talk time of 13 hs for this phone.

This phone also features a wide variety of cool features as NFC, Bluetooth (4.0), GPS (Global Positioning System) and Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This cellphone is really overvalued considering it is sold for $ 649, while other similar phones can be found for much less money. This phone is probably a good choice for you no matter if you will use it to play lots of games, want this cellphone for work or will use this cellphone mostly for internet broswing and social networks.
