amazon BlackBerry Q10 reviews
Design and screen
In terms of design, while BlackBerry Z10 looks like a modern smartphone with a large screen takes up most of the body, BlackBerry Q10 bring a traditional design of BlackBerry, with a small screen and physical keyboard. 10.4 mm thickness and 66.8 mm horizontally, the size of the Q10 at a moderate level, and rounded corners help users more easily hold the phone.
The front is divided into two parts, with the keyboard at the bottom and at the top of the screen. Q10’s physical keyboard has four rows, separated by metal strips.
Above the screen is the front camera and LED notification, an indispensable feature on the BlackBerry device. The back of the machine does not have many details, but the back is printed carbon style also brings forth an impressive appearance.
BlackBerry Q10 display screen beautiful and impressive. With a high resolution (720 x 720), while modest in size, the screen of the Q10 for very sharp images. Super AMOLED technology is also very suitable to color tone of the default wallpaper. Q10 also “inherited” the strengths of the BlackBerry device before, it’s a good display even when looking at the sun.
With a size of only 3.1 inches, the screen is quite small for many applications, such as entertainment applications (see video, photo), browsing or viewing maps. Even with a time-consuming forms of popular Facebook, the Q10 is also made me disappointed, because many times the machine can not be fully displayed a photograph on Facebook. If the demand is only read messages or calls, the screen of the Q10 has more than enough to satisfy, but a modern phone needs to do more than that.
Cameras and applications support
The camera also features an brings mixed experiences on Q10. The camera is equipped with 8 megapixel resolution. As I have mentioned many times in the article about BlackBerry 10, a focus of phones running BlackBerry 10 is complicated: you have to keep your hands on the focus frame, drag to the point to focus, focus and wait for the machine click again on the screen to shoot. This process is time-consuming, and many times I get lost definition images prone to vibrations.
BlackBerry also has some additional software features for camera and filming of Q10, as Timeshift feature allows you to choose the most beautiful moments in a photograph. The image viewer app also integrates manipulation of basic photo editing, such as cropping, rotation, color change … For the recorded video, you can also create a story with color themes and background music chosen by themselves. This feature is similar to Video Highlight on HTC One, but the more active for users to curate content and form of the film.

Performance
Q10 refers to experience, can not fail to mention the operating system BlackBerry 10. I have mentioned quite a lot to this operating system in the post on the BlackBerry Z10, and basically the manipulation of BlackBerry 10 on Q10 also similar to the Z10. The difference is basically a smaller screen Q10, and the rate of the square, along with the physical keyboard of your phone. As for performance, both of which bring smoother to use.
Q10’s keyboard is spacious, feels very good press, like other BlackBerry phones. Q10 arrangement like keys on a standard keyboard of the BlackBerry (but slightly different virtual keyboard on the Z10). Q10 also features word prediction and auto login using the language, but for me, these two features are not efficient operation. BlackBerry 10 support users and receive up to three languages simultaneously.
Familiarity with the characters on the keys is quite fast, but I lost a bit of time to find a way down the line when the message and change the input language, these operations would have been relatively simple for BlackBerry fans.
The interface of the BlackBerry 10 operating system, but the partial modernization of the machine settings like interface to bring an old BlackBerry. Installation is streamlined and detailed, but unfortunately do not support machine automatically adjusts the brightness.
The search function and control via keyboard and voice of the BlackBerry 10 also quite interesting. To start looking for something, you just type the word you want to look at the external display, and the search box will show up. BlackBerry 10 allows searches overall in the machine (universal search), search services like Bing, Google, Yahoo, as well as applications such as Maps support, BlackBerry World app store and Foursquare.
In addition you can also perform fast call, email, instant messaging or even update Facebook or Twitter status with commands like call, email, text, fb, tw …..
In addition to touch controls and keyboard, you can also control Q10 by the Voice. Of course the commands given in English, and Voice Control on the Q10 also supports some simple commands to make calls, send emails and instant messages, update Facebook or Twitter, set the alarm …
In calling interface, you have three items relating to the call log, contacts and dialer screen. In the contacts screen, the machine will receive the number and name in the phonebook, like most current phones. Users can also assign the caller’s name on the shortcut, but this feature is not open by default. I have nothing to complain about call quality and the ability to take the wave of Q10.
All notices of calls, messages, emails, updating Facebook … on BlackBerry 10 is synthesized and displayed the same position, called the BlackBerry Hub. This way I can easily make quick access to contact information, can be said is quite advanced.
In terms of applications, BlackBerry 10 is really still a long way to catch up with the top two operating systems Android and iOS. The notable omissions may mention YouTube, application maps (maps available on BlackBerry 10 is not good enough), the official Dropbox app, or an aggregate news reader application and beautiful interface like Flipboard. Some popular games have also appeared on the BlackBerry World, such as Angry Birds or Cut The Rope Star Wars, but indeed gaming on the small screen and the square of the Q10 is quite cramped.
Ability to view video support Q10 can say is pretty good. Machines running the majority of video files that I tried, mkv format. Even machines can run with sound film in DTS format, which many Android devices do not. However, the screen is too small (especially when viewing widescreen movie ratio), the experience of watching movies on the Q10 is probably no need to mention. Anyway if you watch the short clip, it can still meet some of your needs.
The battery of 2100 mAh capacity, higher than the Z10, while the screen is smaller and fewer pixels. That makes the time machine with good battery life. In one day, I used to charging in the morning, use a 3G connection for about 3 hours, while making calls and texting at a less, the screen turns quite a lot, and until late at night, the machine began to weak battery alarm. Such batteries can be used quite comfortably in a day, and if you use less, you can use the machine within two days.
