Blackberry Q10

BlackBerry hasn’t crafted a quadcore monster here. Sensible, as people who buy the Q10 won’t want to play games on it. But it is decently powered anyway –a dual-core 1.5GHz processor and 2GB RAM should handle the new BB10 OS like a well-oiled croupier.

You’re unlikely to watch a load of movies on the square, 3.1in display, but it’s not to be squinted at. A 720x720 res gives a pixel density of 328ppi, a shade higher than the iPhone 5. As with the last Bold it’s also a touchscreen, so you can use BB10’s gestures to swish by apps.

I’ve heard that swipeyscreen phones are all the rage these days, but if you’re a great typer then the Bold-style QWERTY keyboard will come as a relief to your cramped, touch-unfriendly fingers. It’s BlackBerry’s biggest ever keyboard, strengthened by stainless steel ‘frets’.
