Blackberry Q10 Full Spec And All You Need To Know About This Phone

Released into the market in May 2013, the Blackberry Q10 is the second in the company’s OS 10 series. Its uniqueness lies in its keyboard, although the Q10 carries the native physical keyboard, it runs on a different traction with the SWIFTKEY innovation it comes with which works outside of the nominal QWERTY keyboard parameters. The Keyboard is designed to offer passionate fans of the Blackberry native keyboard system an opportunity to enjoy the native keyboard on a faster more efficient smartphone. What many will is a turnoff with the Blackberry Q10 smartphone is its rather small sized display. The Q10 comes with a 3.1-inch touch AMOLED display.

 

The Q10 is unusually lightweight, not bulky but with a stealth-like design which can fit snuggly into pockets without the carrier feeling any bogus weight whatsoever, weighing only 139 grams the Q10 stands as being one of the company’s all-time feather-weight products. The Q10 also boasts of a unique feature which is it software, the smartphone is a major upgrade from the nominal Blackberry software that in many respects had to rely basically on physical touch command patterns either via the trackball (physical mouse) or via its QWERTY keyboard.

 

The Q10 smartphone operates basically on a gesture command-line, an example of this is the quart turn swipe or swipe of from the bottom-side to the right-hand side of the screen to access both homes-screen and menu tabs. The Blackberry Q10 in some sense actually is no different from the Blackberry 9900 (Bold 5) as the Q10 is more like an upgrade of the famous Blackberry Bold 5 phone.

One last feature which Q10 users will definitely not miss out on is the security platform of the Blackberry OS.
