Blackberry, which was once popular in the smartphone market, fell into addiction under the double attack of iOS and Android. The appearance of BB 10 is not only a weapon for Blackberry to fight back, but also the last straw for self rescue. And does the first Z10 with BB 10 show confidence in BlackBerry?

Appearance design:

The appearance design element of Z10 is a rounded rectangle. The design of three segments is similar to the back of iPhone 5. The three circumference index is 130 * 65.5 * 6.9 mm, suitable for single hand holding.

The front of Z10 is a 4.2-inch screen with a resolution of 1280X768, and the screen resolution reaches 356ppi. The color restoration is good, the visual angle is good, and it can be regarded as a good screen. It's a pity that gorilla glass is not used. We need to take good care of it in daily use.

There are microphones, sensors and LED indicators above the screen, and the microphone is hidden under the Blackberry logo.

Headphone hole, MIC and power button are placed on the top of the fuselage. The power key sinks to a certain extent. You need to adjust your fingers to press it when holding it with one hand.

The Mirco HDMI and Mirco USB ports on the left side are at the bottom of the middle, which will hold the thumb when charging, affecting the operation.

On the right are volume adjustment keys and multifunction keys. The volume key can be used as the shutter key in video recording. Short press of the multifunction key will mute the sound, and long press will call the voice assistant.

There is a big blackberry logo on the back. The grid pattern is matched with a skin like coating, which makes it feel comfortable. An 8 megapixel BSI lens and LED flash in the upper left corner.

Interestingly, the back cover bayonet and the external design are in the same place. The sound outside is loud, and the sound on the pants pocket is enough to remind.

Open the back cover to see the NFC coil. The BlackBerry Z10 supports memory card expansion and Mirco SIM card. The chewing gum battery has a capacity of 1800mAh.

System experience:

The SoC of the BlackBerry Z10 is Qualcomm S4 MSM8960, dual core 1.5GHz, 2G RAM and 16G/32G ROM. Although SoC lags behind Android, the QNX based BB 10 is smooth in daily use. In the short trial, the UI design and UX design of the BB 10 system are quite excellent. The gesture design of the BB 10 is also very considerate and easy to use. After using it, you will feel "unable to go back". It is worth noting that the BlackBerry Z10 will start automatically after the battery is installed. The startup time and shutdown time are a little slow.

The power key is mostly used to lock the screen. This is because when you lock the screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to unlock the desktop. In addition to opening the screen, this upward sweeping gesture is also used to hang the task in the background.

The BB 10 desktop is similar to the popular Android desktop design. All applications are placed on the screen. Long press can be used to delete, sort and merge files, which is easy to use. The three shortcut keys at the bottom of the screen are dialing, searching, and video recording. Customization is not supported.

The BB 10 also has an Android pull-down menu, which is convenient for quick switching of Bluetooth, Wifi, alarm clock, etc. Unfortunately, it does not support custom sorting, etc.

BB 10 background tasks are similar to webos cards, and support up to eight background tasks. But there is no corresponding gesture or one click cleaning. Some applications have relevant abbreviated information in the background, which is quite practical.

Application and function:

There are only 90000 BB 10 app stores, many of which are converted Android apps. Of course, we cannot demand that the App Store launched less than half a year reach the height of Apple and Google.

At present, even if there is no application developed for BB 10, the corresponding Android version can be transformed for use. For daily use, the application provided by BB 10 is enough.

Most applications can use gestures to pull down to call up the setting menu.

Hub is the information aggregation of BB 10. It can manage the information of calls, short messages, emails and social networks in one page, eliminating the operation of program switching. The actual test is very quick to receive emails and prompt timely.

The clock entering BB 10 can be accessed from the desktop or from the lock screen. When setting the alarm clock, there are different colors according to the morning and evening.

The calculator can also be turned into a scientific calculator in the horizontal screen, and your calculation results will be recorded on the top. Record the tear animation clearly, which is quite like what Lao Luo said.

The English input method of BB 10 is quite powerful. Lenovo is very powerful. Business people who use English for daily communication must love it.

The Chinese input is slightly ordinary. The associative words and fuzzy sounds can be set up. There is no nine grid input and no key vibration feedback, which can only be said to be enough.

The security function of the BB 10 is very powerful. It can erase information remotely, and it also has the function of retrieving mobile phones.

Photography function:

The shooting interface of the BlackBerry Z10 is very simple. Only the scene, flash and aspect ratio can be set. Useful ISO, exposure time and pixel settings are missing. The BlackBerry Z10 will focus on the viewfinder. You can use the volume key as the shutter key or touch the screen shutter.

It is worth mentioning that TimeShift photography mode will take 11 consecutive photos after entering this mode. And face recognition, you can select a satisfactory one from 11 photos for facial expression replacement, with good results.

Take a few simple pictures, the color restoration is OK, and the details are slightly smeared. The glare is quite obvious.

Endurance:

The BlackBerry Z10 uses a removable 1800mAh battery with average battery capacity. Fortunately, the 4.2 screen and 1.5GHz dual core processor do not consume power. Under 2G network, it can be charged once every two days in normal daily use. If you connect to wifi during working hours and have more daily email exchanges, you may have to recharge it every day.

Summary:

The BB 10 is a new start for Blackberry, and also the last rescue. Under the double attack of iOS and Android, BlackBerry launched the first Z10 equipped with BB 10, which at least brought back some attention. The Z10 is called an excellent intelligent terminal by virtue of its excellent workmanship, good system UI and UX. The BlackBerry Z10 is a powerful tool for business people, but it is an important injury in entertainment, the number of apps, and the ecosystem, which is unacceptable to consumers. More people may be looking forward to the old line of BlackBerry, the full keyboard Q10.
