Three years ago, the Canadian firm BlackBerry decided to release smartphones with touchscreen. The novelty was the model Z10. She paid a lot of attention from both experts and simple consumers. After the interest in the apparatus began to decline gradually, the company introduced the BlackBerry Q10 device. In it, the manufacturer focused on a full-fledged keyboard.
What is this smartphone? What characteristics, advantages, disadvantages and features? Are there any competitors for this model? It is for these questions that you can get answers by reading the article.
A few words about the price
BlackBerry Q10 smartphones are designed for a certain category of buyers. Their cost varies from 14 to 15 thousand rubles. If we take into account the equipment, the price may not seem from small, so not everyone can afford such a phone. To say, only wealthy people are acquiring this model for which the entire reputation is exceeded.
For all the time the model was made for the markets of many countries. Therefore, not all modifications can function in the Russian Federation. Before buying, it is recommended to check the BlackBerry Q10 model number in the settings. 100-3 - SQN abbreviation index indicates support for European GSM operators. If other numbers are specified in the device, you will have to reflash it, and it will be in a considerable amount. Buyers argue that the installation of additional options increases the cost of the device to 20 thousand rubles. For example, engraving with a laser of Russian letters on the buttons will cost approximately 5000 rubles. Such costs, of course, make many think.
Packaging and equipment
In order to be confident in full configuration when buying, you need to know what the manufacturer packs this smartphone. It is important to pay attention to the presence of instructions in Russian, as in the operating system menu it is quite difficult to figure out yourself. Each box has encrypted information. It is represented as a set of numbers and letters. As a rule, this is a serial number, the release date and the manufacturer. There is also such an inscription: BlackBerry Q10 Gold. The last word means the color of the housing - golden. Also there are black (black) and white (White) options.
So what will be included? Of course, the apparatus itself is directly, branded battery, charger, headset and microUSB cable.
Design
In the appearance of the BlackBerry Q10, the manufacturer preferred to use traditional solutions. The predecessors of this smartphone are the Bold 9790 and 9900 models. If compared with the latter, the design has practically not changed. Some buyers simply confuse them. However, innovations, though not global, but still there. First of all, the keyboard received straight clear lines, it was decided to refuse roundness. Smooth bends The developers were left only on side faces. To facilitate the text set, a metal lining was used, which separates the horizontal rows of keys. Users with enthusiasm took such a change, as it was now the opportunity to use the blind keyboard.
The size of the BlackBerry Q10 phone (Black and other colors) can be attributed to average. They make up 120 mm in length and 67 mm wide at 10mm thick. For devices with a QWERTY-keyboard, such dimensions are considered quite decent. In other models, they are much larger. Weight of the apparatus 139
Corps combined. The rear panel is made of carbon fiber. From the outside it looks quite stylish and expensive. Weak mechanical damage is not afraid. However, something sharp still can be deformed. The rest of the hull is made of matte plastic. The rear panel has a camera. Immediately under it there is a metal strip, the same as on the keyboard. Thanks to her, the camera lens does not scratch. The remaining portion of the rear panel is a removable cover that is easily lowered down. Under it is a slot for a SIM card and a memory card connector. The latter is located on the right side of the battery. But in order to get a SIM card, you will have to remove the battery.
In the Q10 model, the headphone jack is located on the top face. In the predecessors, he was on the side than caused a large indignation of users. On the left, the buyer will see two connectors - MicroHDMI and microUSB through which you can connect to any devices (TVs, tablets, PC and projectors).
Modifications
As mentioned above, this model is sold in different countries. For this reason, the Canadian manufacturer has released different modifications that are focused on working with certain operators. The model number is indicated on the box and the phone itself. Let's figure it out in marking:
- SQN100-1 - GSM operators, North America.
- SQN100-2 - CDMA operators, North America.
- SQN100-3 - GSM operators, europe.
- SQN100-5 - UAE.
Based on this information, we can conclude that BlackBerry Q10 SQN100-3 is perfect for the domestic buyer. This modification supports all parameters of Russian operators. It is also possible to use a new generation mobile communication - 4G. It is provided by MegaFon.
BlackBerry Q10: performance characteristics
No description of mobile devices will not be full without studying the technical characteristics. What is hiding under the practical Corps of the Canadian Smartphone? To ensure uninterrupted operation, the device is equipped with a processor for two cores with a frequency of 1.5 GHz. Model - Qualcomm Snapdragon. Given the lack of a resource-intensive screen and "heavy" applications, the smartphone works quickly, problems with freezing for it are uncharacteristic. Two gigabytes of RAM are quite enough to ensure such functioning. As for the parameters of the built-in memory, its volume is 16 GB. However, everything is impossible to use them, since the operating system takes almost 6 GB. Support for memory cards (maximum - 32 GB) allows you to expand the potential of the device.
Buyers noted the possibility of working with innovative Wireless Developments Long-Term Evolution - LTE Standard (4G). This is the undisputed advantage of the BlackBerry Q10 apparatus. 4G - the newest fourth generation of mobile communications, which is compatible with this device. However, in our country, the provision of such services is still rare.
Interface
This model works on the BlackBerry corporate platform 10. It is its own development of a Canadian company. The tenth version of the operating system was initially developed for Z10, but the model that came to replace it was "inherited." Relieving to say, an update has appeared, however, it slightly changed the design. Due to the fact that the screen in Q10 is less, a lot of information is beyond. Access to it can be obtained by scrolling. All functions work well, but when loading volume applications may be a ditch duration within a few seconds.
On the main screen, the user will see all the necessary information. The time and current date, notification of missed calls and missed messages are displayed here. As in Android OS, a "curtain" appeared. Through it, you can turn on / off bluetooth and Wi-Fi, change the volume level, adjust the alarm clock. Also, on the main screen there is information about the number of battery charge remaining charges and the operator network icon. It can be displayed as 2G, 3G or 4G. With an emphasis on the latest developments, the BlackBerry Q10 smartphone was released. LTE (4G is described above) will support this model.
This unit can be used as corporate. With the BlackBerry Balance, the contents of the phone are divided into two parts: the first is for the employer, the second is for the employee. The company has envisaged to block the device at a distance. This feature is useful if there is a secret information on the phone. For example, without the employee's knowledge, the employer can completely block the smartphone.
Keyboard
Fishka BlackBerry Q10, of course, is the keyboard. It is she who considers the model to the business class and makes it competitive. The manufacturer in this question has achieved perfection. Many users claim that they are ready to easily abandon large, and most importantly, inconvenient in terms of a set of volumetric texts, sensory models with beautiful screens.
In order to work with the keys to make the most comfortable, the manufacturer decided to increase them. The keyboard has become more and, accordingly, the housing too. Now, to achieve high speed, you need to type text with two thumbs.
Each key has a beveled edge. Thanks to him, the separation metal strip is easily farewell. It is she who helps to quickly navigate on the keyboard. The location of the letters completely coincides with full-fledged computer instances.
Screen features
Due to the big keyboard, the screen has become a weak place of BlackBerry Q10. The characteristics of it is not at a high level. However, for such a smartphone, it is considered large enough. Resolution - 720 × 720 PIX. Diagonal - 3.1 ". Clarity - 331 pixel per inch. Type of display - Super AMOLED.
Users who are accustomed to 5-7 inches leave negative feedback. However, you can understand them. The screen is significantly inferior to such devices. However, as they say, each his own.
Camera
Two cameras are equipped with a BlackBerry Q10 model. Reviews about the quality of pictures are mostly good, as it has a resolution of 8 megapixel. To enhance the image with poor lighting, you can use the LED flash. The front camera is weaker - 2 megapixel.
In the tinctures provided autofocus. There are no complaints of users from users. But the manual focus functions with difficulty. The problem is the shutter button. When it is pressed, the camera immediately takes a picture, so it is necessary to customize the focus using a tightening gesture.
The owners include sensitive side buttons to disadvantages. When they are inactive pressing, a picture can work. Permissible photo format: 1: 1, 4: 3, 16: 9. If pictures are made only for viewing on the phone, it is recommended to choose 1: 1. It is ideal for the BlackBerry Q10 model screen. Also, to improve quality, you can use the HDR mode.
Now let's consider the features of the video. In this mode, the main chamber works in HD format (1080 PIX). The quality for playback on the phone is quite acceptable, but if you view the roller on the tablets or PC, it is broken down on the pixels, disappear disappears. The permission of the front camera is even lower than - 720 PIX. It goes without saying that the quality frames will be much worse.
Battery
Considering the positive and negative sides of the communicator, it is necessary to check the duration of the battery autonomous operation. First, let's see what the instruction says about this. The BlackBerry Q10 is equipped with a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 2100 ma * h. According to the manufacturer, it will work in a conversation mode until a complete discharge of 13 hours. Many buyers are satisfied with such results. However, you do not need to rush with conclusions. The instruction says that when you transfer the smartphone to standby mode, the battery will die only after 15 days. But now let's understand. With moderate load, the device works for about 2 days. But if you pay attention to a small screen and a weak processor, then such indicators are no longer considered high.
BlackBerry Q10: reviews
What are the impressions of the owners of this model? Immediately it is worth noting that the reviews published on the network are quite contradictory. The target audience, as a rule, includes brand connoisseurs that have already become accustomed to the features of BlackBerry. The operating system update was quite enthusiastic. The introduction of new developments had to do many, but some functions were deleted, which users regret.
A wide range of such devices provides the buyer a wide choice. Now in one price category, many devices of different brands are offered, and, unfortunately, not always the BlackBerry Q10 (4G) White, Black, Gold will benefit in a competitive struggle.
What weaknesses, according to the owners, have this model?
- Compatibility with a small number of applications.
- Non-standard small screen screen.
- Weak processor.
- Problems with the back cover lock (quickly loosened).
- Too wisdom operating system.
Many have come to the conclusion that the communicator is perfect for the definition of business class devices. For personal purposes it is better to use the Android operating system.
Competitors
If we talk about direct competitors of this smartphone at the time of release, it is difficult to choose at least one copy not only from the model range of other brands, but also among your own. However, the company released a new apparatus with the Priv index in 2015. It is difficult to call a competitor, since the novelty is a follower Q10. BlackBerry Priv is very modified externally. Its form is far from typical communicators. However, such a decision allowed developers to significantly increase the screen. And how do you remember, in the device Q10 he was a weak place. In the new screen, the screen diagonal was 5.4 "with a resolution of 1440 x 2560. Pixel transmission density - 540. Processors Two: the first works with clock frequent 1.8 GHz, the second is 1.4 GHz. The operating system change occurred. In this model Preference was given Android 5.1.1. It is indisputable plus. Progress is visible with the naked eye.
The Finnish company Nokia in 2013 also released several communicators. We are talking about the ASHA series. If you consider the keyboard as the main element of the models, then the BlackBerry brand apparatus is undoubtedly wins. As already mentioned, he has no analogues. In Nokia phones, the keys are completely different. Text dialing speed out of comparison. Basically, its decline occurs due to the location of the buttons. They are too close to each other. The upper surface is somewhat convex, and this leads to the fact that sometimes the finger is slipping. Pick up the text blindly on the Nokia Asha is unreal. This is where the BlackBerry brand Q10 model is in value. Nokia devices are more than half cheaper.
It is clear that no one could have a serious competition for the Communicator Q10 at the time of release. All the development of other technical equipment companies are not significantly reaching to the level of the Canadian brand.
A few words in conclusion
An interesting model can be called a new BlackBerry Q10 phone. It can be seen that the manufacturer tries to meet modern standards and innovative technologies. Of course, there are advantages in the communicator, and for some quite weighty. For example, a full-fledged QWERTY-keyboard. Similar counterparts in the domestic market are problematic.
But the difficulty of working with the operating system for many buyers became decisive. Given the high price, I would like to acquire a smartphone with a more advanced functionality. Therefore, this model is recommended only to those who truly print a lot by the nature of their classes, but for personal purposes (correspondence in social networks, listening to music, passing levels in favorite games, etc.) It is better to look after the device on another platform that is maximally oriented precisely in This direction.
At the time of release in 2013, BlackBerry Classic has made a lot of noise among fans of the brand. It immediately saw the reincarnation of all beloved Bold, with the new BlackBerry operating system and more modern "hardware". He was presented to BlackBerry as a new flagship, and as it turned out, completely corresponded to this status. BlackBerry smartphones are distinguished by reliability and durability that Q10 has proven once again: many of those who have acquired it immediately after launching on sale use them until now and do not plan to change even new BlackBerry gadgets released in 2014. The speed of the BB 10 OS together with a convenient size and stylish design attracted many, and today it continues to attract new users even less towards new prices. In this article, we give the full features of the BlackBerry Q10.

Once I bought BlackBerry. It was two and a half years ago, when I still did not recognize the iPhone and seriously looking for something new for myself, interesting and preferably functional. Stern design and legendary reputation bribed and twisted bis, unlocks, Wi-Fi settings, installation of applications via App WORLD and constant moul with service beech. Such is the fate of many who choose the "gray" BB.
That smartphone today lies in the box somewhere in another apartment. Physical keys finally become a movietone, and the QWERTY keyboard on the smartphone today except that people scare. Yes, and the device itself is very brake and not suitable even for active web surfing. Whether the case BlackBerry Q10. Modern OS 10 plus daring and at the same time strict design - such qualities are suitable for the criteria for selecting the second main "tube" of the iPhone owner or flagships of other manufacturers. Consider closer.
As you know, at the beginning of this year, Research In Motion has made a bold step and went to the Wa-Bank, replacing the name in honor of its most famous, key product - BlackBerry smartphones. And at the same time announced the full reload of the device line, announced the output of the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10 - the entire touchscreen smartphone and the more traditional "communicator" with the QWERTY keyboard layout. And the same, and the other work on the latest edition of the QNX OS - a proportional BB response on the eclipant popularity of iOS and Android.
Reviews Q10 in the network already pond pride. I tried to consider the device from a special point of view - as a person who needs a second device for calls, mail and social services, as well as for the inevitable visit to the page on the Internet. For the role of a duplicate "tube", many choose some cheap dialer, but BlackBerry is a thing of another class. Q10 is not ashamed to take with you as the main apparatus, therefore, the scope of using such a device is noticeably wider.
Design
It has long passed the time when the manufacturers were safely experimented with new materials of the case and even more so invented new forms. The ball is puzzled by black and white rectangles with rounded corners, and the rear panels are in most cases closed "cheap" plastic. BlackBerry Q10 is not like that.
The rear panel of the new BB smartphone is not just covered, and almost entirely made of carbon fiber or, in the people, "carbon". This is not a shameful sticker with a holographic effect at once a popular material, and the real carbon fiber. It is noticeable and on the reverse side of the lid.
Material without exaggeration cheeky and pretty male. In light, he behaves properly, highlighting one of the rows of fiber and the "dimming" other. To the touch and in the hand is felt as an ordinary plastic panel with a matte surface that makes it difficult. The panel itself is practically weightless. Yes, and the smartphone is also not heavy.
The rest of the area Q10 is made of plastic.
Matte, rounded edges are mixed with the synchronization port and the volume keys block and block, painted under the metal. The location of the lock button in the center of the upper face already seems unusual, because it requires an inconvenient movement to press the same hand that keeps the smartphone. You can, of course, block the device with the second hand.
Painting for metal is present on the front panel - between the keyboard keys lines. And the screen in the light has a purple-blue tint, resembling smartphones of the Galaxy series.
Q10 leaves surprisingly finishedimpression: Materials and colors are combined very and very well. Such a smartphone really wants to take into hand - including because it strongly stands out from the sonma of others with his main "chip". The branded portrait keyboard returns to try to prove its utility in 2013.
Keyboard
Research in Motion is one of the first companies that began the production of communicators with the QWERTY portrait keyboard. In this field, it is generally generally no equal: the BlackBerry keyboards are considered the best in the world on ergonomics, convenience of work and input. For many years in a row, the idea and the essence of the keys do not change in BB, and Q10 took over this part, everything is good, which remains from the heirs of the former majority of Canadians.
The qwerty-keyboard in Q10, applied to Russia officially, initially has Russian letters located in a strange: on one button at the same time are located Sh and Sh, J. and D., B and Kommersant, H. and E., YU and B.... This format really requires a long-term addiction and partly smoothed as a system of predictive input and the experience of entering letters via Alt.
BlackBerry does not finish: there is not only alt on the keyboard, but also two SHIFT, ENTER and Backspace. All these buttons greatly facilitate work with the text, especially considering the chips of numbers, letters and signs on each button. From my own experience I will say: get used to such an input method, even if you know the usual computer keyboard perfectly, you will have to at least a couple of weeks.
The keyboard implementation in Q10 is very similar to the company's previous models. The keys are very clear, pleasant and quiet move. Their surface is beveled to the center intentionally - to work with two hands was a little more convenient. The distances between the keys are quite enough for the fingers of the mid-size hand. Probably, people with "shovels" will have to get used to a little longer.
The Q10 has a touchscreen touch screen, so neither the optical joystick, nor the more the trackball in the device there. All buttons, menu items and so on are chosen by hand, and it first confuses. Why print on a kind of physical keyboard, if you still need to poke into the screen? Often, however, you can get ridown by pressing on ENTER - for example, to send the collected text in the Skype chat.
BlackBerry veterans can upset the lack of phonetic layouts in the settings. Or I just did not find it. This means that buyers of English-speaking Q10 - read, "gray" models - will have to acquire a spare part separately or to put up with the inability to print normally in Russian, without seeing letters.
OS 10 on BlackBerry Q10
BlackBerry is very proud of the OS 10-operating system, originating in actually by the PlayBook tablet and more or less successfully transferred to the company's smartphones. Unlike the BlackBerry OS 7 and others, OS 10 really meets many requirements of the modern user: it is pretty, places are very convenient and loaded with various useful "chips". But strange moments in it abound.
Device desktop is a set of installed program icons. And on its first screen, the taskbar of the tasks A la Android or iOS 7 is located. All running programs are placed there and work truly even in the twisted form - exchange data on the network, do not break the connection and so on. OS 10 supports a full-fledged multitasking, but reserves the "right" to suspend the programs that the user has not opened for a long time.
One of the most advertised OS 10 chips - BlackBerry Hub.The sidebar in which the alerts from all installed applications and mailboxes are saved. Something like the center of notifications. This panel is called swipe, but for some reason not from each place or menu. Twitter alerts are visible here, the latest messages from Skype and much more. Not bad implementation.
Since we started talking about applications ... they download and bought in the BlackBerry App World, and the main set for most already has: twitter, partially integrated into the system, Skype, IM + Pro and the like multiplatform software. The rest of the selection and variety of App WORLD applications do not even reach Windows Phone. And there are strange problems with speed: For example, Skype was loaded with us twenty seconds that for the middle class smartphone today is very and very strange.
The system has a quick access panel to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and alarm, which is called from above. In general, in OS 10 there are a lot of different swipes, movements, gestures that barely do not conflict among themselves on a small screen Q10. The closing gesture of applications recalled Windows 8 with one reservation - it was not very good.
I could not stand and walked over the network in the built-in browser. Zoom and scroll are carried out without lags or delays, and the impression of surfing remains generally positive. Pages opened quickly and without problems.
Optore except that only strange fonts - after all, for Apple on this part, no one sobs.
Iron and conclusions
BlackBerry is famous for the quality of transmission and reception of speech, so there was no special surprises on this part - except that the speaker's volume could be higher. Two microphones are placed on the end, helping to suppress external noise. But the musical speaker is hammered so that only HTC One can shout. The quality is "traditional" - i.e. Not very good. The same definition can be applied to photos from the camera: the colors seem to be faded, and in poor lighting the quality of the photo falls sharply.

Mobile networks
Mobile network is a radio system that allows multiple mobile devices to exchange data among themselves.
GSM. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is designed to replace an analog mobile network (1G). For this reason, GSM is very often called 2G mobile network. It is improved by adding GPRS (General Packet Radio Services), and later and EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution). | GSM 850 MHz. GSM 900 MHZ. GSM 1800 MHz. GSM 1900 MHz. |
CDMA CDMA (Code-Division Multiple Access) is a channel access method used in communications in mobile networks. Compared to other 2G and 2.5G standards, such as GSM and TDMA, it provides higher data transfer rates and the ability to connect more consumers at the same time. | CDMA 800 MHz. CDMA 1900 MHz. |

Umts. UMTS is a reduction in Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. It is based on GSM standard and refers to 3G mobile networks. A 3GPP has been developed and its greatest advantage is the provision of greater speed and spectral efficiency due to W-CDMA technology. | UMTS 850 MHz. UMTS 1700/2100 MHZ. UMTS 1900 MHz. UMTS 2100 MHZ. |
LTE LTE (Long Term Evolution) is defined as the fourth-generation technology (4G). It has been developed by 3GPP based on GSM / EDGE and UMTS / HSPA in order to increase the capacity and speed of wireless mobile networks. The subsequent development of technologies is called LTE Advanced. | LTE 700 MHz Class 13 LTE 700 MHz Class 17 LTE 850 MHZ. LTE 1700/2100 MHZ. LTE 1900 MHz. |
Mobile communication technology and data transfer rate
Communication between devices in mobile networks is carried out through technologies that provide different data transfer rates.
Operating system
The operating system is system software, controlling and coordinating the hardware components in the device.
SOC (crystal system)
The system on the crystal (SOC) includes all the most important hardware components of the mobile device in one chip.
SOC (crystal system) The system on the crystal (SOC) integrates various hardware components, such as a processor, a graphics processor, memory, periphery, interfaces, etc., as well as the Softera needed for their operation. | Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 |
Technological process Information on the technological process to which the chip is made. The nanometers in the nanometers measured half the distance between the elements in the processor. | 28 nm (nanometers) |
Processor (CPU) The main function of the processor (CPU) of the mobile device is the interpretation and execution of instructions contained in software applications. | Krait. |
Processor discharge The processor bit (bits) of the processor is determined by the size (in bits) of registers, targeted tires and tires for data. 64-bit processors have a higher performance compared to 32-bit, which are more productive for their part than 16-bit processors. | 32 bits |
Architecture of a set of commands Instructions are the commands with which the software is set / manages the operation of the processor. Information about the command set (ISA) that the processor can perform. | Armv7. |
Zero-level cache (L0) Some processors have L0 (level 0) cache memory, access to which is faster than to L1, L2, L3, etc. The advantage of the presence of such memory is not only higher performance, but also reduced electricity consumption. | 4 KB + 4 KB (kilobytes) |
First Level Cache Memory (L1) Cache memory is used by a processor to reduce access to more frequently used data and instructions. L1 (Level 1) Cache memory is characterized by a small volume and works much faster both the system memory and other levels of cache memory. If the processor does not detect the requested data in L1, it continues to look for them in L2 cache. With some processors, this search is performed simultaneously in L1 and L2. | 16 KB + 16 KB (kilobytes) |
Second Level Cache Memory (L2) L2 (Level 2) Cache memory is slower than L1, but in return, it is distinguished by a large range that allows caching more data. It, as well as L1, is much faster than system memory (RAM). If the processor does not detect the requested data in L2, it continues to search them in L3 cache (if available) or in RAM memory. | 1024 KB (kilobytes) 1 MB (megabytes) |
Kingdom of processor cores The core of the processor performs software instructions. There are processors with one, two or more nuclei. The presence of a larger number of nuclei increases performance, allowing parallel execution of a plurality of instructions. | 2 |
