Compared to the BlackBerry 10 OS flagship phone Z10, which has an all-touch design, the Q10 features a physical QWERTY keyboard, making it more in-line with the manufacturer's tradition. But because it features a 3.1-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen, BlackBerry did not include the usual trackpad, which could disappoint some BlackBerry purists. The 2GB RAM impressed us, but even though the dual-core CPU is acceptable, we think a quad-core one could have made this phone unique.
On-paper Review rating: 
You better have tiny fingers, since the Q10's touch screen has a smaller display surface to press on than many other smartphones. According to our calculations, it has a 4.8 square inch-display while
Its smaller screen size (3.1-inch wide with 720 x 720 pixels) is a tad small for a smartphone. It might become frustrating to surf the web or read on a smaller display, considering that today's smartphones frequently come with 4-inch wide screens with resolutions over 800 x 480.
These days, we would hope for more than just 2-megapixel of selfie cam resolution.

The 3.1-inch display is not the largest around, but it has a 328.77 DPI (dots per inch) image fineness, which should produce small but sharp images.
The BlackBerry Q10 boasts lots of user memory (16000MB), but it may sometimes be better to buy a phone with an included memory card instead, since the memory card can then be reused in a future cell phone.
It includes a high-resolution built-in camera (8-megapixel) with the following options: Auto-focus, 5x Digital Zoom, Digital zoom.

The talk time claimed by the manufacturer (600 minutes) is higher than the average talk time. Though battery-life ratings are not necessarily measured the same way by each manufacturer, this is an interesting indication that the BlackBerry Q10 may last more than other phones.
The HDMI port will be useful to watch HD (1920 x 1080 resolution) videos recorded with the BlackBerry Q10 on an HDTV (HDMI cable might be sold separately).
