BlackBerry Q5 Review

BlackBerry Q5 is a quite good BlackBerry cellphone launched some years ago, in 2013, with a compact 3.1-inches multi-touch display, a Dual-Core processor running at 1.2 GHz, and 2 cameras, a 5 megapixels back facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front facing camera. But let's get into more detail.

The BlackBerry Q5 feels much lighter than what one would expect from a cellphone of this size. This phone is sold in a wide range of color options, black, pink, red and white. While this phone is 4.72" long, it only packs a smaller 3.1 inches screen. This phone is quite thin and comfortable, while it's not so slim as many other devices nowadays, with a thickness of 0.43".

Blackberry packed the BlackBerry Q5 with a spectacular 3.1-inches display, and a resolution of 720 x 720 , providing this phone with an amazing graphical experience. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

This phone ships with a Qualcomm Snapdragon system chip, which holds a good performance Dual-Core CPU speeding at 1.2 GHz and a huge 2 GB RAM. A nice point of this cellphone is the 8 GB quite large internal storage and an SD memory slot, allowing the user to install hundreds of apps and games without running out of space.

This phone counts with wi-fi connectivity (which can be provided to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) high performance connectivity and also HSPA+ connection type, which is a bit slower 4G network and 3G fast data connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a SIM card for GSM carriers.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 2 megapixels front side camera. It also captures Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 fps. This phone also has a few good features: flash, auto-focus and digital image stabilization.

This phone also includes a couple of interesting characteristics such as NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your cellphone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Geolocation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone packs an amazing 2180 mAh Li-Ion non-replaceable battery providing the BlackBerry Q5 an average battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that this phone's battery is non-replaceable so you won't be able to replace it when it begins to live shorter, even though with so much capacity you will probably replace this cellphone before that becomes a real problem.

The BlackBerry Q5 is priced 149 dollars, which is high for comparing with similar phones. No matter whether you will use this phone majorly for social networks and internet browsing, are looking for a gamer phone or want a phone for work, this device is a good choice for you.
