The design of BlackBerry Z10 kind of looks like Apple’s black iPhone 5, tall and narrow, straight edges with round corners and a 4-inch screen. But what differentiates it from the iPhone 5, is that it has no navigation buttons, instead it is operated through gestures which are easy to pick up. The phone is 5.1 inch tall, 2.6 inch wide, 0.35 inch thick, and weighs 4.8 oz. Blackberry features a new touch screen keyboard, it learns your writing style and suggests words to helps you type faster. And if you tend to mistype certain letters, the keyboard will remember and subtly adjust to make sure you hit the right key.

The Z10 has a 4.2 inch LCD display and a 1,280×768 pixel WXGA HD resolution. The phone has a 2 megapixel front facing camera, above the display are a set of sensors, the notification LED. At the right edge are the up and down volume and voice command trigger/ pause button.

Pressing the up and down volume buttons at the same time lets you take a screenshot, and pressing either snaps a picture. At the left edge are the Micro-HDMI port and Micro-USB port, the power/lock button and the 3.5 millimeter headset jack. On the back of the phone is the camera lens with LED flash.
