Design and Quality

The company has taken a major swing in the bold design which was observed in its previous release of BlackBerry Q10. The same has repeated with Q20 but the 3.5-inch screen is bit larger than that provided in Q10 but has the similar square design. The length of the phone is 5.1-inch. The border of the handset has stainless steel which gives style and strength to this handset. There are three buttons on the right hand side of the phone including button and volume buttons. The microSD card and SIM card slots are found towards the left hand side. The back if the phone carries the logo of the company also provides good grip to the device. BlackBerry never quit the keyboard fashion and here is the main area where the company shines over all. The keyboard of this device is similar to that provided I Q10 and people who have used BlackBerry sets would be familiar to it.

OS and Tech

The device runs BlackBerry OS 10.3.1 and the OS experience in this case is very similar to that observed in BlackBerry Passport. This OS supports all the Android apps very comfortably but only those available on Amazon Appsstore. The limited selection of the apps would be a problem to this OS.

Camera and Multimedia

The rear camera provides serviceable performance under good light condition and for still subject. The autofocus of the camera also is quick enough to provide intelligent suggestions about different camera modes to be used in different situations. The videos recorded by it are also of better quality but they don’t seem good while running on the 3.5-inch screen. The front camera also works well for the video conferencing and the selfies.

Battery and Memory

The battery of the device is quite well giving it a day long life. As per the claims of the company, this battery can provide 48hrs of standby time and about 12hrs of talk time which is not bad at all. Since the screen is also not big so it also doesn’t digest much of the power so the battery can easily go for whole day. The complete recharge of the battery though takes some time. The RAM is good enough here providing enough swift performance to the device and the internal storage is also very good along with excellent expansion to the memory so one can easily have 128GB of expanded memory in this device which is really great.

Pros and Cons

For pros:

·        Accurate and comfortable keyboard

·        Perfect signature design

·        Android apps support

·        Good camera

·        Nice battery

For Cons:

Verdict

The faithful design of the BlackBerry has made the productivity more successful. The company has taken clear notice of an important aspect that smartphones either live or die by the apps they support so the limited Android apps support may be little disappointing for the BlackBerry fans. This has already been observed in case of BlackBerry Passport which increased the productivity at the cost of comfortable experience for the user and that experiment was not successful at all and this is the reason BlackBerry has provided Android apps support in this handset. But in other terms it provides wonderful keyboard the typical experience of BlackBerry which everyone loves to have is worth buying.
