BlackBerry launched today in Sao Paulo, BlackBerry Z10, new smartphone from the company that holds 42% of market share of the corporate market. Being the first model the company operated entirely by touch screen, the BlackBerry Z10 reaches the market costing R $ 2,449 in prepaid mode and is already prepared for the 4G in the country.

Equipped with a dual-core 1.5 GHz and 2 GB of RAM, the Z10 has internal storage of 16 GB, but it can be expandable via memory cards up to 32 GB.

the Z10 brings BlackBerry’s new?

are several unique features present in the BlackBerry Z10, ranging from camera functions to tools that make it safe to use the device in enterprise environments.

Time Shift: delete the photos with eyes closed

BlackBerry Z10 has 8 megapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel front. But what is striking is the Time Shift feature, which, according to the team member of the BlackBerry Enterprise Brazil, Alexandre Lenza, makes you “work in time and create a moment that never existed.”

How it works? When registering a kind of short movie of a scene, the Time Shift lets be chosen the best video frame to use as a base for the photo and then specific regions that are altered in the same way. Thus, when taking the photo of two people, for example, you can ensure that the two will go with your eyes open, even if they have flashed alternately.

BlackBerry Hub: aggregator messengers

This is a service that aggregates in one place all the software messaging phone, and social networks. The advantage is the fact that the system is always accessible from a single gesture.

And, if you receive a message while reading another, you can slide your finger across the screen to take a “peek” at the email or SMS that arrived without the need to leave the reading to verify the importance of the new notification.

BBM remodeled and expanded integration

service BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) has also been redesigned and now allows you to send not only text and attachments, but also make voice calls via VoIP and video chat. Another novelty is the possibility to share the screen of the phone itself with the person who is receiving the call, useful for those who need to edit a document together, for example.

It is worth remembering that the shared screen does not block the use of cell phone of the person receiving the call, since it can be placed in the background with a simple gesture on the screen. Another point to be considered is the fact that the Z10 has much greater integration between different applications on the phone, such as the address book and calendar.

personal and corporate life: separate but together

Tired of managing a life profile online for work and another for personal life? The BlackBerry Balance promises to end this confusion by allowing a corporate environment settings of the phone are stored separately and even blocked. This makes it easier to deliver the phone to his son and make sure he will not send invitation games for your boss, for example.

Separating these two worlds is present even at the visual level, since different wallpapers can be configured for them. Even the app store is so different to the “work” of the device.

Virtual keyboard equivalent to physical

Although BlackBerry has replaced the physical keyboard for virtual, there was a great concern to maintain the same typing experience that you had. For this, there are features that streamline the writing of a message, for example, as the system attempts to predict what the next word to be typed, based on the context of use of the smartphone.

Unlike other systems, the virtual keyboard of the BlackBerry Z10 does not display suggested words in a region of the screen, but between the keys themselves, so that the user does not need to look away from the keyboard. Words are used in the text by sliding your finger up on them.

Who usually write words in English over a text in Portuguese should not encounter difficulties with the Z10, since the virtual keyboard allows up to three languages ??are configured for it.

Price salty, but ready for 4G

BlackBerry Z10 goes on sale today for the corporate market and goes on sale to the general public this week. The suggested retail price is U.S. $ 2,449 in prepaid plan, and operators should practice some discount during the sale of post-paid plans, as they usually do. The smartphone is available in white and black and is already prepared for the Brazilian 4G.
