BlackBerry Z10 is a very solid device released back in the year 2013, counting with a medium sized 4.2-inches touch-screen, a very fast Dual-Core CPU running at 1500 MHz, and two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back camera and a 2 megapixels front camera.

This device is very thin and good-looking, being just 0.35" thick. This phone is offerred in two different color options, black and white. Blackberry didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 4.85 oz phone.

Blackberry sells this device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 chip, including a high performance 1500 megahertz Dual-Core processing unit with a large 2 GB RAM memory. Graphic rendering usually eats lots of processing time, so it also has an additional Adreno 225 graphic processing unit clocking at 400 MHz to take some work out of the CPU. A good aspect of this device is its 16 GB quite big internal storage memory and an SD extension slot, enough to store hundreds of games and apps without any trouble.

Blackberry packed this phone with a spectacular 4.2 inches display, and a resolution of 1280 x 768 , making everything look amazing. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

The BlackBerry Z10 is equipped with two cameras, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 2 megapixels front-facing camera. This cellphone also shoots videos in Full HD 1920x1080. To complete the camera, it also has a couple of good characteristics: auto-focus, flash and digital image stabilization.

This phone offers WiFi connectivity (which it can provide to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) high speed data connection and fast 3G connection type, over HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The BlackBerry Z10 uses a Micro SIM card for GSM connection and it can connect to both GSM and CDMA networks.

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

This cellphone has a medium capacity 1800 mAh replaceable battery that can keep this phone running for some hours, although you will probably find yourself looking for a place to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage. According to Blackberry, the BlackBerry Z10 has an estimated stand by time of 316 hours and a talk time of 10 hs.

Blackberry sells the BlackBerry Z10 for $ 125, which is quite expensive for a device this level. The BlackBerry Z10 is definitely a good choice for you it doesn't matter whether you need it for work, are a photography fan, will use it as a gaming phone or will use it as a social cellphone.
