best battery life in a slim form factor , amoled display provides high contrast (hence deep blacks) which is good in the sunny days , reception is exceptional like in all Motorola devices , dual core is more than enough for fast performance and running heavy apps in jelly bean ... sound quality through all ports is great , with the right launcher this device is spot on . and i especially love the masculine mature industrial design !
The note 2 has a nice display. The battery life is the best I've ever seen on a smart phone. I never have any problems with it
predictive swipe texting to bbm screen sharing, I love every feature this phone got. Its really great phone for power users who want to be more productive. I was never tempted that hard to buy a iphone or s3 but I couldn't hold myself from buying this.
I have had smartphones before, but this is the best one I have had hands down. The battery life could be better, but hey, we all know that no phone has a good battery. Love it, definitely reformed.
Powerful processor,
amazing Htc sense,
Awesome htc clock-weather widget,
nice htc animations and graphics.
Cemera has many modes and quick assess,it's very user-friendly.
It's a good phone but yah battery life it's not that great and I guess the HD display you can thank for that.
I bought my Note II on AT&T at the beginning of February. I absolutely love this device! I figured I would not use the S Pen but now find myself using it quite often just because it is there.
As apps keep comming in im still waiting on a free msn chat app but this phone is lightning fast,if you are a older blackberry user you will absolutly love this Phone!when they Lte is fast no kidding i have a laptop 2core 8gig ram that the z10 blasts past when loading,and HDMi in a phone is fantastic for sharing pics and video at freinds houses.
HD display is far better then Droid DNA & ONE X+ and also the performance according to snapdragon s4 pro is alot better the the rest two ....... there is alot to say but BEST EXPEDIENCES CANNOT BE DEFINED THEY CAN ONLY BE FELT . USE IT AND KNOW IT
i like my s3....awaiting for the update of android 4.2 (new features, i hope)
Excellent phone, great features, huge screen, amazing camera and stylus is extraordinary!
Best phone out there!
Beautiful display, nice form-factor (neither the thinnest nor lightest, but better-than-average on both counts and the textured back feels VERY nice). Great, zippy processor; lag seems non-existent.
The bad news: the ecosystem still has holes. Music is good (uses same 7digital store that Google Play uses), TV/movie choices are acceptable, but many apps from iOS/Android stores still not there. My one caveat: if you currently depend on certain apps, make sure that it's either in BB World, or an acceptable alternative is available.
If apps aren't an issue for you, there's no reason not to give the Z10 a good, hard look. Best browser experience in mobile, period. Reasonable battery life (and a REMOVABLE BATTERY!), SD slot, HDMI-out.
And the best thing: a lovely, clean UI that's a breeze to navigate through.
I've owned and used Droid Incredible, Note 1, S3, iPhone 4s, multiple Windows phones. But, I don't have to use every phone ever made to know that Z10 is the best phone available. Whilst the others are in a p*ssing contest for apps and specs, BB10 showed them exactly who is leading the way for the next generation of smartphones.
I'm so thoroughly enamored with BB10 after only one week of using it. I have an S3 through Verizon, but I bought a Z10 from Canada because I couldn't wait any longer. When I have to use my S3, I find it clumsy and slow. I'm not talking processor speed people. I am constantly phantom swiping, then I realize I have to look for buttons/keys, etc. Why should I have to look around click the 'back' arrow a dozen times to get out of an app? Swipe up, it's minimized. See ya app. You look pretty up there ready to be accessed instantly should I need you. Tap the 'X' if I've the urge, bye bye app. I have 4, 6, 8 open at times with NO performance penalty.
And how could I have possibly tolerated such an archaic method of communication as Android? I used to excitedly show my iPhone friends the notification center, and the tweeks of the notification center. Hahaha! Who, after using a BB10 device for a week or two, will ever accept anything less than the Hub? Here's my life to this point...closing the app I am in, opening the app that has the communication interaction (text, FB, LinkedIn, etc), responding in that app, closing that app, then finding and reopening the original app I was in? Serious? How much better is the Hub than anything else available? Infinitely better. Swipe up and over, respond without opening any other apps or closing the app you were in, return. Never again will I settle for anything less efficient. BB better never go out of business. If they do, those other loser OS's better copy this.
The virtual keyboard? Um...I never thought I would love something as much as Bold 9930 physical keyboard, but this is nothing short of amazing. Stunning in look, feel, accuracy. It's beautiful and efficient and I love it. It even sounds amazing. I'm so fast and accurate and it has to be because of BB, because my fat thumbs aren't any more nimble when I use the S3. It may keep me from the Q10.
The browser? Wow. It SMOKES my S3's browser. I don't even understand how it can be as fast as it is? Why are Android and iPhone browser so slow? And they have the address bar at the top? Lol. Compare it to any browser on any platform. The videos are out there to PROVE it, but actually using it yourself is spectacular.
Yes, every week another droid comes out with great specs and more cores, but it's the same thing over and over. It's the same clumsy, slow, inefficient UI. Same NO security. Here's a clue people, SPECS DON'T MAKE IT A BETTER PHONE!!!! All it does is makes an impressive stat sheet. Do stat sheets make your day better? Does it make your life easier to have more cores? Is that what you begged for in your next phone?
Yes, BB doesn't have the apps. Yet. They will build them. In the meantime, it has a killer app that no one else is even close to having...BB10.
Google and Apple know they are behind now. Their browser and keyboard are woeful in comparison. Who would like to argue that? And they have NOTHING EVEN CLOSE TO 'Hub' and 'Balance.' Who would like to argue that? The the gesture based UI? I guess, that is a personal preference, and you could argue it, but try it for a couple weeks and then pick up the others. Wow, could they be any less elegant?
Android and iOS will have to steal the 'Hub' and 'Balance'. They will have to patch sloppy hack code onto an OS that was built to play apps. For BB10 the OS was built with those things at it's heart. Security, communication, separation of work/play were afterthoughts for them.
BB can make a better spec phone and I believe they are this year (although I don't see the point) but if Android and iOS have to copy many key components of BB10 OS....who is behind who? What is a better phone? A list of specs meant to 'wow' the geeks, or one that makes your day better and more efficient...a few seconds at a time, hundreds of times per day....
5 inches may just be the perfect screen size for a smartphone. The Galaxy Note II is too big, and the GSIII is not big enough, the Droid DNA is the full shabang. It's 1080p display (an industry first) does not disappoint, and Sense 4+ trumps TouchWiz as a UI. Soft touch plastic and curvature of phone lead to a gentle caress when holding the DNA. Only complaints are with non-expandable storage. Battery life suffices for daily use even with the highest resolution screen on the market.
Had been using iPhones for 4 years and decided to make the switch! What an amazing experience! From the best intuitive keyboard, true-multi-tasking, BBM, Balance feature and the Hub to view all your incoming messages. Best and most secure communication tool by far. Give it a try and you will never go back to your old and already outdated device!
Just got this phone from Google play. The best phone I have ever seen. I love the design.
BB has definitely outdone themselves...the latest update has doubled my battery life
the best piece i used up to now. it is very fast & smooth.
