BlackBerry Z10 Overview

It has been 18 months since a new flagship BlackBerry smartphone has been launched and finally the Z10 has been unleashed. The wait has in part been due to the creation of BB10, the new operating system powering the Z10. BB10 has been completely redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up as part of a new era for BlackBerry and the start of a new future for all their devices to come. Let's take a look at the best reasons to buy the BlackBerry Z10.

The first thing that will strike you with the Z10 is that this is the first all-touch BlackBerry. With a 4.2 inch screen which has a resolution of 768 x 1280 pixels and offers a staggering 356 ppi. A major part of the design of BB10 has involved making this touch interface just as intuitive and easy to use as previous BlackBerry systems.

With an intuitive touch interface, this keyboard will learn your writing style and suggest words to help you type faster, more accurately and with the least amount of effort. Subtle adjustments are made to correct errors on the fly if you mistype letters.

The new BlackBerry Browser offers an unparalleled experience, with speed, simplicity and integrated social network sharing taking the forefront, all controlled with a seamless gesture based interface. BlackBerry Browser adapts to you and your sharing habits, evolving the experience to suit you perfectly.

BlackBerry HubBlackBerry Hub is the solution to keeping all of your communication in one place. A simple gesture, from any application, will give you access to the hub so that you can flow effortlessly into conversations. Text messages, BBM, Facebook or Twitter messages and notifications, emails and more - all of your contacts and applications are stored in BlackBerry Hub for your convenience.

BlackBerry Balance is the innovative new feature that feels like you have two Smartphone devices in one. With one simple gesture, BlackBerry Balance allows you to switch seamlessly between work and personal. This means you can alternate between your emails, apps and documents without compromising your personal data or settings.

BlackBerry World is the updated app store of choice for BlackBerry devices, giving you access to apps, games, music, videos, books, magazines and more. Personalised recommendations and more content genres than before make it easier than ever to find something new for your Z10.

The camera on the Z10 weighs in with an impressive 8 megapixel sensor and also features Time Shift, capturing multiple images milliseconds before and after the main exposure. Then you select an area of the picture with the Time Shift dial, before scrolling back and forth to replace the image with a different timeslot to create the perfect image

BlackBerry Z10 Review

The following are some quotes from our BlackBerry Z10 review. To read the full review, click here.

"As well as looking the part on the outside, BB10 has all the functionality expected wrapped up in a very fluid experience."

"The end result is of something that wouldn’t look out of place in the hands of a user in any demographic, definitely a big step in the right direction."

"The rear of the device has a wonderfully tactile embossed and rubberised finish which adds a lot of grip to the Z10 and makes it sit comfortably in the hand"
