In size, the Z10 fits in between the other two smartphones at 5.1 x 2.6 x. display, almost too small for how many people are using phones today.Īt 4.8 oz., the Z10 is a tad heavier than the iPhone 5 (3.9 oz.) and the Samsung Galaxy S III (4.7 oz.). The only disadvantage: The physical keyboard cuts down the screen real estate to a 3.1-in. in April.Īt BlackBerry's press conference for the new devices, I got some hands-on time with the Q10 and found the QWERTY keyboard easy to use, which should delight some current BlackBerry fans. But the real power of the Z10 will be in the new BlackBerry 10 OS, the phone's interface and its related software, which are vastly superior to previous BlackBerry generations.īlackBerry's new operating system will also run on the BlackBerry Q10, a somewhat smaller smartphone with the traditional physical QWERTY keyboard that is expected to go on sale in the U.S. On paper, all three share similar hardware specs. The new Z10 begs comparisons to two of the latest hot devices: Apple's iPhone 5 and Samsung's popular Android phone, the Galaxy S III. The Z10 will come in white as well as black to my eyes, the white version looked slightly snazzier.īlackBerry Z10 v. There are no control buttons on the front face and the power button is on the top edge. Where the iPhone display has a black bezel on all four sides, the Z10 has a wider bezel on the left and right sides.
The front, with its curved corners, looks similar to recent iPhones, except that where the iPhone runs glass to all four edges, the Z10 runs glass to the side edges but leaves a quarter-inch-wide band of flat black plastic on both the top and bottom. There's a grip texture on the rear cover, which is nice enough, but nothing special. The simple truth is that the black Z10 just looks like an ugly slab of plastic with a glass cover it's virtually unchanged from the Dev Alpha version released last fall. I'll start with that styling problem, which is a big one for me, at least.
