Having a hard time choosing between Blackberry Q10 and iPhone 5S? Here's a comparison between the two devices to help you make a calculated decision.
According to The Mobile Hub, the display featured on the Blackberry Q10 is a Super AMOLED model measuring 3.1 inches that can render a resolution of 720 x 720 pixels. The dimensions for this device are: 119.6 x 66.8 x 10.4 mm. The handset weighs 139 g.
Apple equipped the iPhone 5S with a larger 4 inches display (an IPS LCD model that is LED-backlit) which can render a resolution of 640 x 1136 pixels. This device is as well thinner (dimensions: 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm) and lighter (weight: 112 g) than the Blackberry Q10.
The Q10 houses a Krait processor: dual core working at 1.5GHz. The chipset that comes along is a Snapdragon S4 from Qualcomm. The handset supports 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage space (you can expand this memory by up to 64GB by using a microSD card). The operating system is Blackberry 10.
The iPhone 5S is powered by a Swift processor: dual core clocked at 1.3 GHz. The chipset that the processor is paired with is the Apple A6 model. This device comes with 1GB of RAM and multiple options of internal memory space: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB (there is no microSD slot meaning that the memory is not expandable). The smartphone runs on iOs 6 (upgradable to iOS 7).
Regarding the rear-facing camera, we can see that both devices come with an 8MP camera that has features like autofocus and LED flash.
Regarding the front-facing camera, the Blackberry Q10 shows off a 2MP camera, which is superior to the camera the iPhone 5S packs: a 1.2MP one.
If you are always on your phone, you surely are looking for a device that can last a long period of time before shutting down. The Li-Ion 2100 mAh battery unit we see on the Blackberry Q10 can last up to 13 hours and 30 minutes of talking time (3G), which is longer than the iPhone 5 lasts.
The Apple handset comes with a Li-Po battery unit with a capacity of 1440 mAh that can last up to 8 hours of talking time (3G).
If you decided that the Blackberry Q10 is the device you'd like to buy, you will find the 4G LTE version at a price of $245.00.
If the iPhone 5 is more up your alley, the 16GB version of the smartphone can be found at the price of $488.00.
