BlackBerry 10 Review (Part 1)

BlackBerry's latest OS is added competition in the smart phone OS that only recently dominated by iOS and Android. BlackBerry OS 10 comes with features superior strength to face the competition. BlackBerry 10 is presented to provide a new atmosphere in the appearance and performance of the smart phone. OS is dedicated to the latest BlackBerry smartphones as well, namely the BlackBerry Q10 which shocked the world with a new and superior presence. This OS is a completely new OS, is very different even from the Playbook. But if the OS is good enough to thrive in a world dominated by iOS and Android? Let us find out through a full explanation of the BlackBerry OS 10 of following.

General Display and Input Method of Movement

Input method of the BlackBerry Z10 brings a need to use the motion due to the loss of most of the interact button on this new product - just a volume control and the Power / Lock is still there at the top. Even the winner of the Torch 9850 touch screen makes extra space for input, but not here. So, inevitably we have to learn to use the methods of movement.

The most important movement is to swipe up from the bottom bezel, which always takes you back to the view of all the applications currently running. This will be the most familiar movement for PlayBook users, and is one of the few movements that are still in use. Bezel swiping from the left or right to switch applications, for example, is not possible here. The features of this product allows up to eight applications to run in the background and the screen just takes one touch to re-activate one of these applications. Or, to turn to the right application is running, press the X in the lower right, an action that feels less smooth than the shifting applications no longer required from the top of the PlayBook.

From here you can start from the left or right. The right of the Z10 is a collection of icons arranged in a square shape measuring 4 x 4, each containing an application icon and its name. Position settings can be performed by pressing and dragging, while combining them with one another to create a folder. Folder displayed in a smaller grid of icons on an application icon in the box without identifying other characteristics, which makes it rather difficult to choose from in the middle of the sea of ​​applications.

Application icons and folders page shifts to the right as more applications are installed and there is no way to categorize them, again unlike the Playbook, which has a page for the application of "Favorites" and "Media". Widgets and other controls on the same computer is not supported here, but just an icon. However, little space has been provided to create a static area that holds three special controls: phone, search features, and camera.

When you press the phone button to call the display will appear. It is divided into three sections, with the leftmost part shows incoming and outgoing calls previously. In the middle is a long list of contacts (among others taken from BBM, Facebook, Twitter and Google Contacts) that can be searched, and on the right is a simple dial pad for you if you are one of those who can actually remember phone numbers .

Search icon will take you into the universal search that allows a search of apps, contacts, messages, appointments, and notes even the web. The result tends to be rather long, but fortunately you can sort them by categories. If this is not enough, third party apps can also be connected to the search field, which will appear at the bottom of the search results. Touch the application icon and your search will be redirected to the application in question.

Finally, the camera icon as it has been alleged to have brought photography display feature, which we'll discuss in more detail later.

Once again, swipe up from the bottom bezel is a movement that brings you to the core look, but if you extend your movement will activate the BlackBerry feature called "Peek." Swipe and hold to bring up the icons on the left, representing the unread email, calendar reminders and the like. If there is a red asterisk are there on one of these icons means you have something new to look at. To see what it is, simply continue the movement to the right, which will take you to the BlackBerry Hub, the best part of the OS that will be discussed in a separate section.
