BlackBerry Z10 Review

(Z10)     See other variants reviews Score: 61.9 / 100

BlackBerry Z10 is a very solid BlackBerry cellphone released back in 2013, coming with a medium sized 4.2-inches display, an exceptional 1.5 gigahertz Dual-Core processing unit, and two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back camera and a 2 megapixels front facing camera.

This cellphone is sold in 2 different colors, black and white. This phone feels a bit heavy comparing to other cellphones , with a weight of 4.85 ounces. Being just 0.35" thick,this cellphone is very slim and stilized.

This phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 chip, backed up by an exceptional Dual-Core processor running at 1500 megahertz and a large 2 GB RAM memory. Collaborating with graphic rendering, this device also has a 400 megahertz Adreno 225 graphic processing unit. A nice point of this cellphone is its 16 GB quite large internal memory and a slot for external memory cards, allowing the user to store a couple hundred applications without worrying about space.

This cellphone includes a great 1280 x 768 4.2 inches screen, providing this phone with a unique graphic quality. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This cellphone has two cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front-facing camera. It can also shoot 1920x1080 Full HD videos. In addition, the camera features a couple of nice features: flash, digital image stabilization and auto-focus.

The BlackBerry Z10 has a 1800 mAh medium replaceable battery, which is quite low for a demanding cellphone like this. Blackberry reports a 10 hours talk time and a 316 hours stand by time for this phone.

This phone provides Wi-Fi connectivity (and it can share it with other devices as a mobile hotspot), LTE (4G) fast internet connection and fast 3G internet connection, over HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a Micro SIM card for GSM networks and it can use both CDMA and GSM.

This phone also features a few nice characteristics as NFC, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone is being sold for around $ 300, which is a very high price for comparing with similar cellphones. This cellphone is probably the right one for you no matter if you will use it as a work device, are looking for a device to mainly use social networks and internet browsing, will use it as a gaming cellphone or are an amateur photographer.
