BlackBerry Z10
After two years of continuous development, the Canadian firm RIM’s comeback with their new Z10 model looks good. The older BB versions look quite outdated compared with iPhone 5 or Galaxy SIII and that’s why BB loyalists like me welcome the new Z10. This amazing device has some flaws but nothing too radical. It is fitted with Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 SoC 1.5 GHz CPU, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal memory, outfitted 4.2-inches TFT display with a resolution of 1260×768 pixels, 8 mega-pixels main HD camera with autofocus and LED flash, 2 mega-pixels front facing HD camera, 1080p video recording, USB 2.0, micro HDMI, as well as standard features like NFC, LTE and Wi-Fi etc. Z10 is being sold at all electronic retails stores across the UAE with the price tag of AED 2599. DU is selling the device with an installment plan of AED 255 per month which also includes about 8 months 1GB data for free.
