5 Software Advancements that Sets the Z10 Apart From the Rest

Released on March 22, the new BlackBerry Z10 offers unique features and software advancements that put this smartphone ahead of its competitors. While most earlier BlackBerry phones ran on older operating systems, the new Z10 uses BlackBerry 10 operating system.

It is one of the most high-tech systems on the market today. Without a doubt, the software advances found in the new Z10 are truly something special and set it apart from the rest.

1. Third Party Apps

Many of the complaints of older BlackBerry phones pertained to the slow performance of third-party apps. However, the Z10 addressed this problem. No longer will these apps lag because one of the key components of this smart phone was to upgrade its processing power. You will now be able to download some of the latest and hottest apps.

2. The BlackBerry Hub

Prior to the release of the Z10, concerns with a difficult calendar and contact interface troubled users. To make phone interaction as easy as possible, BlackBerry now has the BlackBerry Hub. From the Hub, you can link up all your different social media accounts and email addresses.

The Hub also employs a "Peek" feature, which enables you to read your latest emails or texts without having to go through several menus. Aside from the functionality, the Hub has an attractive interface that looks sleek and is simple to use.

3. BlackBerry Messenger

Blackberry phones have featured BlackBerry Messenger, or BBM, for almost a decade, but the improvements on the Z10 make it an even more attractive feature. On BBM, you can send texts to other BlackBerry devices for free. BBM is also set to roll out for other phones as well, meaning you can use it no matter what smart phone the other person has.

The new version now also includes BBM Video and BBM Voice, which enables you to have voice and video calls. Adding contacts to BBM is easy and just takes a scan of their QR code. If you still aren't sold, you can check out the new BlackBerry Q10 online, as it provides an awesome array of options, but with a few tweaks that separate it from the Z10.

4. The Keyboard

Initially known for their QWERTY keyboard, BlackBerry has implemented a touchscreen keyboard for the new Z10. The new broader spacing between keys allows your fingers to travel nimbly from one letter to the next. It also has a word suggestion feature to make your typing even more efficient. The newest feature is the ability to cut and paste text with a simple gesture. All in all, the keyboard is definitely an asset to the Z10.

5. Camera

Prior versions of BlackBerry cameras had left the smart phone with something to-be-desired. However, the new BB10 camera addressed these problems. The phone now works in low light and is also an HD video camera. Perhaps the greatest aspect of the phone is the new "Time Shift" mode.

This mode allows you to snap a picture of your subject over a few elapsed seconds. Then you can pick the exact time your friend's eyes were open or when they had the best smile.

While these are just a few of the features of the new BlackBerry Z10, the phone has a bevy of new options to make the phone more appealing to all users. Which new feature are you most excited about?
