This week I received a BlackBerry Z10, the new model Releases § ado recently in Brazil. The device had already been shown in Be Mobile Conference in April. Ã? the company’s attempt to recover espaà § in the smartphone market, where it ended up restricting the corporate environment à º in recent years. I tested the unit for a few days and spend my prints.
Unboxing
box Z10 follows The default of the current smartphones, with accessories ³ rivers down and the device shown just above. The Content of the box à © very generous with headset and two chargers with different pinouts, making the words do not necessarily ¡rio floor with no adapter tomadas. The BlackBerry was very careful on the product packaging.
Interestingly, Information § Unknown important as the IMEI of the device are outside the box. © Alà addition, given Tamba © ma date fabricaà § à £ o of the device (03.04.2013 in case that I received).
Design
Clearly inspired by the iPhone, the Z10 has a top quality design. The little difference in the relaà § § à £ o the competitor Apple is £ o the button centralized power and AUSA ª ncia of a button the home. The unlock screen and return to the dawn sà £ o made with a gesture swiping from the bottom up, without the need to press any button £ o.
Other aspects that differentiate iPhone sà £ o possibility to remove the back cover, giving access à battery and micro SD card slot. The cover à © very similar to the Samsung Galaxy S4 and thin and light, Pora © m with a rugged design and rubberized. The footprint à © excellent even for those who do not have the mom to the very large. The Z10 Tamba © à © m pretty light.
Specification § Unknown
Z10 à © là ¡apparatus for the decent. Alà © m coming with 16GB of internal storage, with an e-card slot You can add more 64GB ATA © espaà § o. Other caracterÃ-Stice hardware:

CÃ ¢ mere
cà ¢ mere front Z10 has 8Mp-Resolution of § à £ o with LED flash, auto-focus and detecà § à £ o face. With it possible to do à © shooting in Full HD. The front has cà ¢ mere 2Mp-Resolution of § à £ oe records in HD. Both sà £ o enough for casual snapshots, especially during the day.
Usability
Use the Z10 in day-to-day à © fairly comfortable one. The battery withstood heavy use, switching between WiFi and 3G. I managed to get through the day with battery still left without any recharge. Ã? Note ¡vel AUSA ª ncia the battery percentage in the very own bar Notifications § Unknown. There’s ways around it, but à © a little strange that something so simple do not it is present at least as OPA § à £ o § in Unknown configuration.
Something that usua BinaryPath should be aware of the à © BlackBerry Hub. The Hub acts as a central Notifications § Unknown to all activities on your smartphone. He focuses emails from the various social networks and applications. § begins in the middle may seem confusing and inefficient, the sensaà § à £ o à © ¡dà that that things is how much pounds mixed. What was done to centralize and facilitate the life of the usua ¡rio à can sometimes end up messing up a bit. Nothing that hà ¡bito do not resolve it, it will put mo © à © realize that the Hub ends up being little used, being in the background.
The interface also allows multitask with ATA © 4 most recent apps open on the screen, allowing the usua ¡rio quickly switch between them. The BB10 follows a Logic that works like this:
first screen: Hub
second screen Recent Apps
third screen on: installed applications
screens sà £ o alternating the traditional way, sliding sideways. For that is the £ £ accustomed with the home button, the existing S4 or iPhone, for example, à © stranger begins in § remind you to gesture upwards on the screen to close the screen and open back the home.
BlackBerry World
Perhaps the greatest drawback of the Z10 is the app store. Ã? where all the competitors from the App Store and Google Play sin. A bad store makes the ecosystem is weak, amazing possÃveis Members Active. Despite being a recent device, I expected more from the BlackBerry World. Some famous applications such as Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp and Skype is already £ disponÃveis in the store, but still hà ¡little. © Alà addition, what is ¡in this store, I saw a lot and repetitive applications with the PREA § a bit salty.
If you want the BlackBerry Z10 competes with his real opponent ¡rios, will have to have had policy ¡very aggressive in this issue £ o. According to the company, hà ¡great ease to port Android apps to BB10. There’s even a sà © rie apps for Android running on BB10 (PORA © m without being the official store).
mallet to install à © put the Z10 (or Q10 or Playbook) in development mode. Then install this extensive £ o Google Chrome and manage the device browser, atravà © s § IP addresses. Just upload the application file and all à © installed automatically. It really works. This serves as an outline for the lack of official apps in BlackBerry World.
ConclusÃ?es
Z10 has everything to be an excellent device. The greater weight against this à © ª ncia the face of official apps in its store, which can be solved with time. How the BlackBerry will do that ¡Ã © © A Mista river because developers want to (correctly) make money and à © more attractive to develop for iOS or Android at the moment. If you à © fà £ company, maybe this is even the best BlackBerry already done and for sure it will serve you very well. If you search something else, be very careful before you consider purchasing a Z10 for the reasons cited.
