BlackBerry Z10 - January

 

BlackBerry launched its much-hyped device, the Z10, in January. The BlackBerry Z10 is a well-built, sturdy phone with an exterior comprised almost entirely of plastic, aside from the slab of glass. The device has a 4.2" LCD screen that pumps out a resolution of 1280 x 768, resulting in a pixel density of 356 dpi. That means you get great color clarity and reproduction. A 1.5 GHz dual-core processor and 2 GB of RAM are the power under the hood, and there are 16 GB of internal storage, as well as the all-important microSD card slot. A high-performance processor means lesser hiccups and performance issues, even when hopping back and forth between active apps. The BlackBerry Z10 comes with an 8MP rear snapper and a 2MP front-facing senor. A single LED flash accompanies the camera on the back of the Z10, and the handset is capable of shooting 1080p video with the rear lens. Overall, the Z10 was a decent all round phone sporting a pleasing 4.2-inch HD display, a good camera and a messaging hub which could be the envy of some other platforms. Still the device was a big flop. Of its $965m loss for the second quarter, $934m was due to the "Z10 inventory charge", as the touchscreen device has failed to sell in the quantities that BlackBerry hoped.
