BlackBerry Z10 review: Swipe clean

15 February 2013
The BlackBerry Z10 heralds the rebirth of a fallen leader in the smartphone market. It’s a clean break from the past with a big touchscreen and novel OS, but the same business mentality that made it the favorite of office dwellers around the world...

    I have been using BBz10, awsome phone no regrets whatever you throw at it, it will do it for you

    Pros :

    OS - The OS is the best in class, just tell me what other OS is completely gesture based and is delivering 100% results

    Hardware - I have installed around 200 apps in my phone and still find no lag while playing high end graphic games like asphalt, real racing

    Build - I threw my phone from 2nd floor, hit it close to the ground twice - not even a scratch on the display, just had a small crack on the side panel which is almost invisible, nothing happened to the back cover - simply amazed

    Internet - video browsing, downloading etc minutes away

    Mails & Notifications - best part - all under single 'HUB' , tap and reply to each whenever and wherever - simply impressed

    Adaptability - Can install blackberry apps as well as android apps (.apk) on BB10.1

    Audio & Video - Nice sound & video clarity, less noise, use BB earphones to get max. o/p

    Cons -

    No home screen - rumors are that after upgrading to 10.3 there will be a home screen

    GPS - slow but effective

    BATTERY -

    the reason for caps is it hardly with stands long usage of internet but i came to know that all other android are also similar (around 5 hours) my phone comes for 4 hours of 3G with all the browsing, infact you can browse more in 4 black berry hours when compared to 5 android hours.

    Only talktime it will withstand one full day.

    Only high end gaming 2 hours

    Only listening to music and talktime will reach around 24 hours

    I brought a power bank and use the phone without even thinking about the battery

    Above all it is very comfortable when you hold it, the back cover feels that the phone is destined for you, go for it.. it will be the future

                  Hey, i have a question, thanks to all who will answer.
                  Should i go for a windows phone, such as a lumia 920 or 925 or go with bb10 z10?? I use only principal apps, so appstore is not a problem, for me is important speed and stability of OS and not lag such android. what should i do? thanks

                                        does this phone suffers from occasional crashes and unstable behavior?
