BlackBerry Z10 in Today's World: Would You Still Use It?

In this video, we explore whether the BlackBerry Q10 is still usable today. Once a leading smartphone brand, BlackBerry faced tough competition from the iPhone 5S and Samsung Galaxy S4, which outsold models like the BlackBerry Q10.

Despite its age, we found using the Q10 in today's world to be an interesting and fun experience. We purchased this BlackBerry Q10 used on eBay for just £25, and it’s a great budget option if you're curious about revisiting this classic device.

Would you use a 2013 BlackBerry Q10 today? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! And don't forget to like and subscribe for more tech reviews and throwbacks.

The BlackBerry OS had a lot of potential, switching apps were seamless, it had the classic blackberry messenger and even had NFC enabled. And if I remember correctly you could run android apps on it.

I have that blackberry Z10, and i can tell is one of the best cameras i´ve ever had in a phone. I love my blackberry device.

I had it and used for 2 years from 2013-2015
Blackberry Hub+UI was most enjoyable and the additional android run time was added bonus for apps.
During its era i totally enjoyed it and my longest run.
I got it again today for 35$ just for nostalgia factor
Love it!

Bruh i went from 4s to the Z10 to 6s+ and straight to iPhone Xs. Using the new iPhone feels like second nature since im so used to the swipe gesture on the BBZ10

One of the major downfalls of all blackberries is it didn't have consumer app Instagram Facebook YouTube and other apps that consumers wanted to use they kept trying to be a corporate phone that's what their downfall was

I had one of these and I really loved it. I kind of miss it also. Good times.

Best phone. Perfect size, not a lot of needless apps to worry about, excellent interface, look and feel. Didn't wear a hole in your pocket like the unnecessarily over sized stuff they sell today (who needs a laptop hanging out of their back pocket anyway). Still using mine today hoping for the next BB to make it before this one expires. Oh, and who needs to buy a new phone every 2 or 3 years? What a waste of resources during this time of so-called environmental awareness.

It had one of the easiest operating system one of the best keyboards I've ever used on a touch screen now a lot of Android iPhones use some of the stuff they were using on their platform

[mahdimahdi]

it has very good camera the bad thing about this phone is the 1800 battery

Blackberry 🥺😔 good old memories 2010 to 2015 I miss it 😔

[technicaltreats]

Are all the features of software working perfectly?

[danieljohnburke]

Blackberry OS does not track you like IOS and Android does. if you want a phone that is more private the Z10, Z30 and Bold 9900 are all great. Facecrap and the rest are all a waste of time.

It is so sad BlackBerry dropped the ball. It was a very interesting phone and it would have been good to have a third option of a professional company.

BB OS 10 phones make great burner phones.

[Ponyboy_Curtis]

This phone was dope back in the day! Sure it was different, but that's what was cool about it. Plus they got Alicia Keys and Neil Gaiman to promote it. Cool.

You can actually side load the Google play store or other android apps as bb10 is actually running on top of Android I've done It on mine!

[mirkopietragalla]

hello! hows going?
Nice video!
I wanted to ask if you know if if possible to download F-droit apps without changing firmware on this z10 phone?
Cheers!

[OK-lrmw]
