The BlackBerry Z10 hit the United States smartphone-crazed consumers in mid-March of this year. The handset debuted not only a totally new form factor, but also a brand-new BlackBerry 10 operating system. And even though the company formally known as RIM changed not only the entire look of their smartphones, but also the company name, they evidently still provide software updates much more regularly than Android and Apple. Back when they were making physical QWERTY keyboard enabled devices, they were famous for releasing software updates in a frequent and timely fashion.

The Canadian smartphone manufacturer recently leaked the BlackBerry 10.2 operating system for the BlackBerry Z10, Q5 and Q10 phones. Information of the new operating system leak came first from the BlackBerry dedicated site Crackberry, and the build is number 10.2.0.483. Wi-Fi direct has been added, a native Evernote app is on board, and actionable notification functionality. Unlike the original BlackBerry 10 operating system, 10.2 will allow Z10 owners to reply to BlackBerry Messenger, e-mails and other messages straight from their notification tray while they are running other applications. There is no need to shut down your current app to do so.
You can also view notifications from your lock screen and mute notifications, which is extremely useful in the middle of a meeting or conference call. The BlackBerry Z10 handset was officially announced on January 30, and marks a turning point in the troubled company’s history. The last few years have not been kind to BlackBerry, as smartphone shoppers turned away from the physical QWERTY keyboard that their devices offered. Now that the new Z10 smartphone offers a totally touchscreen driven user interface, slim and light form factor and large high-resolution display, things could be turning around for BlackBerry.
Upon launch the Blackberry Z10 handset hit the 1 million units sold mark quicker than analysts had expected, and the handset even achieved a 1 million unit commercial sale. The security conscious United States Department of Defense has given the phone’s security measures and business applications its seal of approval, and frequent software updates with decent improvements will also help sales. The phone can currently be obtained online for around one penny on contract running on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system in the US. Slim in profile at just 0.35 inches (9.0 mm), the Z10 weighs just 4.85 ounces (138 g).
The largest screen found on a BlackBerry to date measures 4.20 inches, and that capacitive, multitouch display delivers more than 16 million different colors at the rate of 356 pixels per inch. HD+ resolution is achieved at 768 x 1,280 pixels, and 10.0 hours of talk time can be achieved from a single charge. A Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 system chip is built around a dual core 1.5 GHz CPU, and 2.0 GB of RAM memory joins 16 GB of built-in data storage on the phone. The rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder offers video capture at 1,080P HD resolution, and a microSD slot is available for storage expansion.
