First experience with the BlackBerry Q5 - All About Phones

ORLANDO – BlackBerry announced today at BlackBerry Live conference the first entry-level model with BlackBerry 10. This is just like the Q5 Q10 a physical keyboard and there we could already play with during the exhibition.

“One of the better features of the Q5 is its screen.”

The BlackBerry Q5 is perhaps a bit to see if the successor of the once wildly popular Curve line. A BlackBerry with a classic form-factor, a comfortable keyboard and a reasonable price. Although we do not yet know what the Q5 will cost, we do know that he will get “appropriate for emerging markets.” One price Nevertheless, the BlackBerry Q5 also going to provide, in the Netherlands as can be deduced from the Dutch press release that was sent today off.

The BlackBerry Q5 feels comfortable in the hand with nice rounded edges and a grid format. The device may feel somewhat cheaply through the use of glossy plastic, but since the device is we believe that no problem. He also feels solid and he finished well. The Q5 will come in four versions:. One white, one black, one red and one pink

One of the better features of the Q5 is its screen. The screen has a resolution of 720×720 pixels and looks good. The viewing angles are just not as good as that of the Z10, but overall the screen is almost equivalent to that of its bigger brother, and that is a budget model best performance. Moreover, we find the screen with a diameter of 3 “a bit on the small side. Course, this is a touchscreen that responds nice. Incidentally we had with the sweeping motion of the bottom of the screen sometimes a little effort on your device .

“In the time we have tried Q5 he felt very quickly.”

The BlackBerry Q5 is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, presumably the Plus version with two Krait cores. He is clocked at 1.2 GHz and ensures that the device is running fast. BlackBerry also has 2GB of RAM in this Q5 stopped and he can be good at multitasking. Despite its low price In the time we tried the Q5 he felt very quickly and that is a good achievement for a phone of this caliber.

Of course one of the main features of the Q5 is its keyboard. That is a classic BlackBerry keyboard with relief in the buttons which makes it easy to feel which button you should have. We have been able to do with a touch screen to enter it with a physical keyboard, just as good and fast text but we can certainly imagine that there is a large group of BlackBerry fans is that the keyboard can really appreciate. And at first he felt certainly not wrong.

The camera of the BlackBerry Q5 is a 5-megapixel camera, which we have tested. Unfortunate ly not BlackBerry knowing the phone will not make the best pictures, but for use on social media is probably sufficient. On the front of the Q5 can be found, among other things is useful for just launched Skype for BlackBerry 10.

“All in all we are quite impressed with the BlackBerry Q5.”

All in all we are quite impressed with the BlackBerry Q5. It’s wait and see what the price of this phone is going to be, but if BlackBerry indeed get for each other to put the device around the price of the former Curve phones in the store then it can sometimes be a very good deal going. Especially the beautiful screen and fast performance of the phone are still pretty unique in that price range. The BlackBerry Q5 will this summer the shops are going to achieve.
