- So it is performance and not actual number specs that matter. So if the performance of a A10 is as good or better than the competitor, then it will be a flagship product. Right?07-25-13 04:20 AMLike 0

- What Kool aid? As far as apps go then sure but looking at the specs of something like the iPhone 5 it's clear that they're outdated. 1.3 ghz dual core, 1 Gb of ram and 16 Gb of storage non expandable sounds pretty mid range to me. Same goes for the resolution and lack of hardware aspects that's common place with competitors. They haven't even hit any type of hd screen and they upgraded their screen size to that of a low end phone. They'll bring their C game on specs, B game on OS, A game on build and A game on marketing.

I understand what you are saying, now the iPhone spec wise not performance wise is a mid level phone. Performance wise its a flagship device. With the 5s the only thing that will change is probably it will get the same chip as the iPad 4 and other minor things. I try to stay away from anything iPhone with an S at the end and rather go with the regular 4,5, or 6. My opinion of course.07-25-13 12:12 PMLike 0 - The iPhone spec wise not performance wise is a mid level phone. Performance wise its a flagship device.

The Z10/Q10 on release were mid-range devices compared to the top specced phones out there. middle of the park camera, good but not great screen, midrange CPU and GPU.
Reference point should always be the specs on release...07-25-13 12:23 PMLike 0 - 07-25-13 04:21 PMLike 3

- I think that's the real problem here. Rumours have it that BB wants to sell it to gamers. Well, without power, what games are you going to play that can't be played on Android, iOS or even Windows Phone with GDR3? They need better than just mediocre specs.07-27-13 05:31 PMLike 0

What's the point in having all that power in a phone if the 1080p screen makes it die a little sooner, especially with heavy gaming.

I doubt BB will have such a processor, considering they pretty much stated that they weren't going past 720p either. Because these processors could easily handle 1080p without stutter.07-28-13 09:50 PMLike 0

I know this company isn't a market leader at the moment; however they are owned by Google. These specs are very similar to that of the A10. They just released this phone to be shipped August 20. It is their flagship. How does this A10 not compete? So it doesn't have the screen or processor of the S4 or HTC One. There are always souped up models in any product sector. Cars, computers, televisions, what makes phones so different? I think performance and marketing is key for the A10 to succeed personally. A lot of folks don't even realize BlackBerry even has new and different phones and they have been on the market for 4 to 6 months. Anyways, my thoughts.

And it's more of a statement about Motorola's pathetic lineup than any way relevant to market realities - current flagships are all quad-core 1080p 5" and bigger models, with 10+ megapizel f/2.x and lower cameras, like it or not.

Wake up, people, BB has no chance to grow organically over a period of years, the launch of BB10 with these idiotic staged device releases was amateur.wtrmlnjuc likes this.07-30-13 10:44 AMLike 1 - I think marketing is key. Everyone I have demonstrated my phone two hadn't realized Blackberry had phones like the Z10. One person has switched as a result. The specs will appeal to some but for most if they just knew how simple and seamless the Blackberry 10 phones made communicating, the media capabilities, etc. That would me enough. It is a newer much improved Blackberry. Unfortunately most people have no idea.

A phone can be quad core and 720p at that. (Read LG Optimus G international, GS3, Nexus 4, HTC One X+.)

And those phones are from last year. They are at best mid-high range now. They no longer reach the performance capabilities of the S4 or the One. (and the G2, and the Honami, etc)07-30-13 01:42 PMLike 0
