Blackberry Z10 – Will This One Be The Bounce-Back Factor For the Smartphone Giant?

After going through a few dark phases, it seems like RIM is now all set to bounce back into action with its brand new creation – the Blackberry Z10. The gadget will be the flagship handset displaying the latest Blackberry 10 operating system. Though Z10 is expected to launch in India somewhere in the mid February, it is already in news for a lot of good reasons and a few bad, and obviously the bad ones come from the critics themselves. So, let’s have a closer look at the gadget and find out whether it is worth the extra buzz.

Key features:

4.2-inch capacitive touchscreen
BlackBerry 10 Operating System
1.5 GHz dual core processor
16 GB internal memory (extendible up to 64 GB)
8 MP primary camera, 2 MP secondary camera

Design:
Design is one of the factors that BlackBerry keeps on experimenting on, and this time seems to be no exception. In terms of looks, the new BlackBerry appears quite impressive at the first shot. The gadget weighs 135g and is 9 mm thick, which means it can easily fit onto your palm. Though not a trademark BlackBerry design, it does seem to be on the smarter side. So, a 9 on 10 for the design is truly justified.

Hardware:
The Z10 features a 4.2-inch screen with a 1280 x 768 pixel resolution. Whether the screen has an additional scratch guard coating or not is yet to be known. It has full GSM and 3G support. Moreover, the US version also features LTE, but the global versions most likely won’t. 16 GB of on-board storage seems to be quite decent. If that’s not enough, you can further extend the memory up to 64 GB using a microSD card. The phone has an 8 MP camera with auto-focus. Interestingly, it also features an impressive 2 MP camera for video calling. Power packed with a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor for a faster and much efficient performance.

Operating System:
The most highly anticipated feature of the phone is the brand new BlackBerry 10 operating system. One of its most innovative features is the gesture based navigation. Moreover, a single swipe lets you access the new BlackBerry Hub from any app. The on-screen keyboard has got a complete makeover making it a lot more intelligent. In terms of apps, you obviously won’t face a drought. You can expect around 70,000 apps in store including the most popular ones like Foursquare, Twitter and Linkedin just to name a few.

The Final Verdict:
With a whole bunch of brand new high-end features, the BlackBerry Z10 surely deserves to be one of the top 10 smart phones ever created though it is quite early to pass the final judgement.
