BlackBerry returns to the forefront with its new Z10

After long months of rumors and
blurry photos, the BlackBerry Z10 was finally presented yesterday during a
conference.

While the brand is currently not in great shape,
the BlackBerry Z10 is a rather successful attempt to revive the
blazon.

Discovery of this new smartphone which will probably compete
l’iPhone :

With a 4.2-inch screen bordered by two matte bands at the top and bottom, the
Z10 has a slight air of iPhone 5. The back is characteristic of the
brand with integrated logo. Barely thicker than the iPhone 5, the Z10
retains a removable battery. At the top of the screen, the famous diode
flashing warning the user of the presence of an unread message is
also present.

One of the most interesting things about this new smartphone is its
keyboard. BlackBerry thus offers an automatic correction, but also
a function which will anticipate the words typed and propose
solutionson screen.

Gradually,the keyboard will learn the habits of
the userand the proposals should become more and more
relevant.

Like Apple, BlackBerry wants its smartphone to beusable
with only one thumband obviously, it seems perfectly successful on
the Z10. The phone will come with no less than35 applications
pre-installedamong which we will find Facebook, Twitter and many
obviously BlackBerry Messenger.

Surprisingly, there is no email app. Emails should
manage yourself from the hub, a sort of BlackBerry-style notification center.
Other apps like Facebook may also be present in this hub, but
will also benefit from an icon on the home screen.

Camera level, the Z10 (left) will offer a sensor
8MP which, if we are to believe the tests on the arstechnica site, is a little less
more efficient than that of the iPhone 4S (right).
