The New Blackberry Z10

Finally, a new Blackberry Z10 mobile phone to rival apple and android devices emerges.  Research In Motion has gone with the flow of new mobile gadgets without the ugly and bulky physical keyboard. And like most of the mobile phone manufacturers that favoured virtual user's input interface, RIM decided to make use of all the length and width of it's new smartphone to use for touch user's input. This is really a smart move. And for the fans that are expecting a qwerty physical keyboard would need to wait for a while for the unveiling of the Q10 after sometime.

Processor, Screen Resolution, RAM

The new BB Z10 has a 4.2-inch 1280 x 768 display with 356 ppi resolution, 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage and external micro sd card slot, and a full dimension of 130mm x 65.6mm x 9mm, slightly larger that the iPhone 5. So what's the "like" factor of this new device? 

The screen resolution of the Z10 is higher than that of  the iPhone5 and Samsung S3. Although the difference will only be noticeable when zooming in on photo's or documents, the Z10 has certainly beaten that of the apple's 326 ppi and The Samsung Galaxy's 306 ppi  in this aspect.  The dual processor running at a fast 1.5GHz, is built for the multitasking user. Compared to the iPhone 5 which is believed to have 1.3 GHz and the S3's 1.4GHz speed, the new comer is faster. Combined with 2GB of RAM,  which is more than the 1GB RAM packed with the iPhone5, will keep the opened programs running smoothly, launching and closing apps easily. Another plus factor is the removable battery, which is handy and more practical when it's time for the device to have a new power plant, it is easier and cheaper to replace. The phone can take up to 32GB of additional storage with the allocation of a micro SD card slot. This is a real envy to the fixed memory apple fans that are limited to their device's capacity.
