With the BB10 launch conference approaching on January 30 next year, more and more new features of the BB10 system have been revealed. I have summarized some functions and features of the BB10 system here. I believe that RIM will bring more eye-catching functions to the press conference next year!
BB10 is a QNX based system. The browser kernel uses the Webkit kernel, which is the same as Google Chrome and Apple Safari. Google Chrome is the king of browser speed. In addition, BB10 will have a very eye-catching contact center, as well as the keyboard input function that BlackBerry has always been good at. The following are some highlights of the BB10 system.
- First, let's take a look at the latest introduction of RIM official BB10 system
1. Dynamic lock screen function

BB10 has a very beautiful lock screen interface, and it also provides various information, including SMS, email and social network information such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. This is actually similar to the lock screen interface of Windows Phone system.
In addition, it is worth mentioning the unlocking gesture of BB10. Compared with iOS, Android and WP, BB10 reduces the unlocking from two steps to one step. You only need to slide up from the bottom border of the screen to wake up the screen. Compared with Android, iOS and others, BB10 reduces the step of pressing the physical power key. This design makes it easier and convenient to view social information and time on the lock screen. And when you find that the lock screen interface has no social information to view, you can immediately slide back to the bottom border, so that you can quickly close the screen, saving the step of pressing the power button to close the screen compared with other systems. It's very convenient.
In addition, in the aspect of unlocking animation, we can see from the video that gradient animation will appear when sliding from the bottom up to unlock, which is a small idea.
2. Blackberry hub - powerful information processing center

Continuing the advantages of Blackberry in information processing, BB10's information center will gather SMS, email and social networks. In addition, users can also send Facebook and Twitter statuses directly in the information center (expecting to add social functions such as microblog in China), which saves time for opening Facebook and Twitter applications separately. In addition, the center also includes meeting reminder and calendar functions. If you want to delete a calendar, just press and drag down to delete it. This integration also saves you the time and trouble of opening the calendar app separately. It can be said that BlackBerry Hub provides one-stop information services.
3. Quickly enter the information center through gestures
Because of BB10's unique design and emphasis on the information center, the information center will always run in the background. And no matter what program you run, you can quickly enter the information center through gesture operation. Will it be a great convenience for you as a social controller. If you think the information is important and needs to be processed immediately, you can complete the gesture operation and then you can fully enter the center. If you think you can put it aside for a while and continue your game or browse the web, you can return to the original way of gesture operation. Very convenient.
4. Advanced touch control
BB10 does not adopt a design similar to the physical home key on iOS, but focuses more on controlling the system through gesture operation, which is very similar to MeeGo. For example, when you are in an APP, you can slide right to open some shortcut menus; If you slide inward from the top edge of the screen, you can open the active menu; Want to activate the keyboard? Two fingers can slide up from the bottom edge of the screen. Gesture operation is similar to that of Windows RT tablet. Powerful gesture control saves the body space occupied by physical keys and capacitive keys, which can make the screen larger. It can be said that BB10 is a very rich gesture operation system.
5. Industry leading browser
BB10 scored 484 points in the test of html5test.com website, except for Tizen 2, BB10 is currently the best browser in html5 performance! In contrast, iOS 6 only scored 386 points in the test. In addition, the HTML5 performance of BB10 is also higher than that of desktop browsers. For example, Chrome scored 453 points. The excellent browser performance of BlackBerry 10 benefits from QNX system and Torch Mobile (BlackBerry acquisition company), a webkit developer. At present, the webkit core browser has almost become an unofficial standard for mobile browsers, which is used by Apple Safari and Android systems.
In addition, considering the excellent HTML5 performance of BB10, there will be a large number of HTML5 network applications available. This is very necessary for a new system.
6. Activity grid
▲ Is the design of the activity square somewhat similar to MeeGo?
The BB10 also supports real real-time multitasking. Allow users to open up to 8 applications at the same time. When you minimize the application, it will be displayed on a screen of the home page in the form of "activity grid", which will provide necessary real-time information in the application. Take the calendar application for example, its activity grid will display the details and time of your next meeting. In other words, you can also activate relevant useful information in the app without opening the APP. Do you remember the multitasking of the MeeGo system?
7. TimeShift Camera
▲ Timeline camera is very creative
This is a camera function. When you need to take pictures of multiple people in a photo, you will find that there are many factors affecting everyone's expression and blinking. Maybe this student's expression is the best, but another student can take pictures of blinking at this time. At this time, BlackBerry 10 will enable the face capture function, and a circle will appear at different faces after you take the picture. At this time, rotate the circle clockwise and counterclockwise to select the best expression and then combine it into a most satisfactory picture.
8 More development languages and tools
▲ BlackBerry 10 application can be developed in multiple languages
BB10 will provide three development tools - C++/Cascades, Webworks (HTML5) and Adobe Air. In addition, developers can also quickly develop BB10 applications by transferring their developed Android apps with relevant tools provided by RIM. In addition, developers can also use cross platform tools Unity/Union, Marmalade, PhoneGap and Sencha.
In sharp contrast to iOS, iOS developers can only use the only development tool - the iOS SDK That is to say, the lack of HTML5 development tools means that many web page makers cannot quickly apply their technologies to the development of mobile applications.
9. BlackBerry 10 will support some open standards - DLNA, NFC, HDMI
These standards supported by BB10, such as DLNA and HDMI, are very good functions for users, which means that users do not need to purchase additional media content. When you buy a movie on your mobile phone, you can play it through HDMI or DLNA connected TV.
The 9900, which was released in August last year, is one of the first mobile phones to support NFC technology. In Canada and the United States, users can use this phone to make NFC payments. In addition, NFC applications have been found in the latest leaked BB10 sub L series, which means that the currently developed version of the system has begun to provide developers with opportunities to develop NFC applications.
10. BBM will be more than just an instant messaging tool
BBM (Blackberry system's information communication tool) currently has 60 million users worldwide. BBM 7 has been released this month, and now supports free voice calls under the condition of wifi. In addition, the video chat function of BB10 has also been confirmed. The supporting functions also include instant file sharing and fast file transfer. In addition, relevant RIM staff also said that "BBM Money" will also come, and more payment and transfer functions will be supported.
Conclusion: After reading, are you full of expectations for the BB10 system. I think the design of BlackBerry 10's information center is a highlight, which is equivalent to the notification center of iOS and Android. But it is different from the first two, because the BB10 is more convenient to control, and it is obviously not so difficult to slide in from the bottom of the screen rather than down from the top of the screen. Especially after the Android machine has become larger, it is really inconvenient to go down the notice board. Will you expect the BB10 system? Let me wait quietly for the press conference on January 30!
