This new device from Canadian firm may be little unstable and may be little hard to digest for majority of the customers but the firm is determined about its success.

This device is not of course for the general public as it is quite expensive and only elite class can afford it. Well if someone doesn’t want to spend amount on this device so the similar looking device BlackBerry Z10 is another good option made up of nice stainless steel and Italian leather.

Design and Quality
The device has an angular design having quite pronounced chin below screen and is made out of stainless steel. The frame of stainless steel runs on either sides of the device along with the top. On each side, there is Small Square over which the logo of the device is written. The device can nicely sit in hand and gives a premium look due to its built. Some other devices also give premium feel like iPhone 5S and HTC One. Due to aluminum body, this is a solid handset and having Italian leather at the back gives a perfect grip to the device and thus this can hardly get damaged easily. The back is replaceable if it gets damaged. Removing the back cover, exposes the battery which is of same power as found in Z10, microSD card slot and MicroSIM card slot. This device is thicker and longer than Z10 and has the same specifications as found in Z10. The screen provides nice viewing angles.
OS and Tech
BlackBerry has its own OS in its all devices and here too there is v10.2 OS of BlackBerry in it. This OS works pretty well in the BlackBerry devices though some of the apps feel little tough to be handled by it. The OS here is quite fast in multitasking and browsing of net. This has also been given nice support from the RAM and the processor and the performance of the device is quite smooth.
Camera and Multimedia
The rear camera has a chrome ring around its lens in order to give it a premium feel and resides in the bar of glass along with LED light. Camera app here is quite basic and the speed of the shutter is also decent. So the performance of the camera is decent for both the front and the rear cameras. They both can record decent videos.
Battery and Memory
As per the claims of the company, the 1800mAh battery can provide about 9hrs of talk time working. It can also provide about 240hrs of standby time. This much time is not bad indeed. The memory is also very interesting both the internal memory and the RAM while the expansion to the internal memory is also decent.
Pros and Cons
For Pros:
· Decent expansion to memory
· Premium material used for manufacturing
· Excellent look
For Cons:
· Very expensive
· Similar to Z10
Verdict
This device is only for the elite business class people. This has not been manufactured keeping in view the normal people. This device has the specifications similar to BlackBerry Z10 apart from the heavy aluminum chassis and the premium feel which is the common insignia of BlackBerry. All its worth it not to be purchased by ordinary people.
