BlackBerry Z10 vs. Samsung Galaxy Note II Showdown
The good: RIM dug deep to give the slick-looking BlackBerry Z10 enough features to satisfy both consumers and professionals — like a good camera and a sharp user interface.
The bad: The Z10’s unintuitive gesture paradigm creates a learning curve, and a long list of OS inefficiencies and omissions sour the experience. The bare-bones maps app and a deficit of camera features are two examples.
The bottom line: Though it’s not quite enough to draw committed iPhone or Android owners, the BlackBerry Z10’s modern design and features give BlackBerry fans what they’ve hungered for.
Members of the BlackBerry Faithful, meet your new phone. The BlackBerry Z10 has everything you’ve been waiting for: a sleek, modern, and professional touch-screen body with an up-to-date OS to match and 4G LTE support. You’ll revel in the virtual keyboard’s ease and in BlackBerry Messenger’s seamless voice chats. You’ll crow about the Z10’s Micro-HDMI port, and enjoy the 8-megapixel camera with its built-in editing tools.
In the most important ways, everything comes together: a lovely HD screen, a fast processor, a camera (with tricks!) that’s good enough to stand alongside the big boys.
Slip off the RIM-colored glasses, though, and you won’t be able to ignore the minor hardware and OS irritations that nevertheless pile up as you use the Z10 over time — like having to use an antiquated and unintuitive file system to create a new photo album, and a basic mapping app that can’t possibly stand up to Google’s best-in-show. For their part, BlackBerry detractors will plainly see a poor iPhone clone that offers little more than the usual features found in any present-day OS worth its salt.
Design and build
At first glance, the handsome BlackBerry Z10 looks suspiciously like Apple’s black iPhone 5: tall and narrow, with straight edges that meet at rounded corners, and a roughly 4-inch screen. Like the iPhone 5, the Z10 is adept at one-handed operation. That’s where the similarities end.
BlackBerry 10 OS
Here’s what you need to know about the new BlackBerry 10 OS: it looks cool, it’s gesture-driven, and it’ll take you at least a few minutes to pick up. In some ways it’s quite advanced — I’m a fan of BlackBerry Balance and the virtual keyboard — and in other ways, you wonder what RIM’s been doing all these years.
Features and apps
When it comes to multiple accounts and a unified inbox, BlackBerry 10 delivers. You can sign into multiple e-mail accounts and social networks, and populate your address book and calendar from these cross-pollinated networks. I didn’t see contact duplicates, and my buddies’ addresses also appeared neatly sorted in the maps app, basically the only really nice surprise there.
Cameras and video
For a long time now, the BlackBerry camera has been a weak spot. No longer. The Z10 packs a respectable 8-megapixel shooter in the back and a 2-megapixel lens up front. Both record 720p HD video, and the larger of the two can also shoot 1080p HD video.
