In the networked era of smartphones

In the hands of the Q10 has not served until the full year, I almost no am directly choose to purchase this may be the most exotic appearance of the BlackBerry phone--blackberry Passport.

Even as the BlackBerry's old users, "passport" to the feeling is very strange, the first time to open the box to see the kind, the brain flashed a second is--*, is not a loss? Calm down for a while before I slowly out the Passport boot settings play.

One day, I'll sum up all the relevant passport experiences, and I'll talk about why I need a BlackBerry.

What's up with the merchandise?

Praise：

To be honest, most people who use the BlackBerry have nothing more than two features-call quality and battery endurance. The "two specialties" are still hot in passport. According to my personal statistics, a total of 14 calls were made in the 1-day period, and the quality of the answer from both the local and the other was slightly higher than that of the iphone 5s. Simply put, the sound will be clearer, the transmission more stable, of course, there has been a time to listen to the disconnection, no problem after the redial.

In addition to the quality of the call, the endurance is also a BlackBerry ace. On the premise of adjusting to the maximum brightness of the screen, the battery is consumed from 56% to 38% with 6 hours. While this does not involve a lot of battery consumption in games, social networking, photo-taking applications, the battery is mainly distributed over the 6-hour phone, internet and mail. Even if there is no professional equipment to test the true effect of battery life, but it is not exaggerated that the normal use of a day and a half to two days, the problem is not big. Of course, you can also look at the Verge experience report on the BlackBerry Passport, and they have a pretty high rating of battery endurance.

If you can only choose to introduce a "passport" a bright spot, I will not hesitate to choose the touch keyboard and screen integration. Whether it is Hong or the British version of the United States version of the passport, the keyboard is surprisingly unified (no numbers, strokes and other symbols), and if you need to enter the mailbox, punctuation and other symbols, You have to touch it on a 4.5-inch screen, which looks a lot more cumbersome than Q10, but the touch-only keyboard is a great help, with the Passport keyboard in touch, browsing the web, replying to emails and BlackBerrys. Hub and other special scenes can be a full keyboard as a touch board, as long as the slide on top of the finger, the screen will then move up and down, the actual experience this is very convenient.

Well, it's almost gone.

This is not to say that there is no merit in the "passport" of the place, but very little, it is not worth to call "characteristics."

Some people say that passport designs are chic, indeed, but everyone's pursuit of beauty is different, resulting in the "passport" product appearance more easily let people "and"; the new voice control and blend services (which make BlackBerry data accessible to any device and platform) are not considered just needed by smartphones, These features look "pretty" on the passport, as well as a "skin-changing" blackberry OS 10.3, which, like 10.2, is still a project that can add to the user experience and reduce the complexity of the operation.

Don't say much, I know you can't wait to see the content below.

Slot：

There are too many to vomit, in fact, you and I know.

Application: In addition to its BlackBerry world, the passport has also been added to the Amazon App Store in the system, but unfortunately it has not yet improved the unique experience used in the passport. The "latest" version of the app Store, such as Weibo and micro-letters, still stays in the spring and even earlier this year. Even after downloading, according to the passport of the 1:1 "wonderful" screen, the application is stretched to "no friend", almost make it difficult to look directly to the launch of the deletion, even if the login, there will be a variety of problems. However, the impression notes are all normal and perfectly run. If you ask: "What about other applications?" "I reckon you can figure it out."

Photo: Passport photos are much better than Q10, but OK, give me a break. Photo Imaging is just a look at the base, can be said to be the iphone 6 "negative example", and some of the Android phone camera approximate, see oh, I said is part.

Appearance: Just mentioned, I feel good, but a lot of people think "passport" more like a "calculator", please look at big fly brother pictures of their own brain repair it.

Price: Buy now? In fact, no more than 16G of the parallel iphone 6 cheaper, the official U.S. version of the unlocked bare metal price is 599 U.S. dollars (about 3675 yuan).

Other: Others, please leave a message in the article, spit this son "Passport" is going to rot.

Why do I need a BlackBerry?

To explore this matter, let's look at the nature of the problem--in the era of smartphones, do we each need to carry a second cell phone with us?

Last week, I wrote a column in which smartphones are being "reinventing", whether it's my judgment or the changes in the market that are proving that smartphones are "infinitely" approaching saturation and the number of users choosing two of smartphones is growing. That is to say, even if the smartphone has developed into a bottleneck, almost everything can be thought of the function, but the vertical smartphone emergence, the main camera photography, voice calls, the appearance of exquisite, * full of products became these will be ready to choose the second mobile phone crowd of choice.

It is worth mentioning that these types of products mentioned above are not used as the main machine, consumers choose their basis is to look for their own social values, contains a wealth of symbolic significance of the brand and products.

Call quality + battery Endurance + Full keyboard + feel, this is why I bought a passport. I'd rather have an Internet card for the iphone, and give the center of the network to Apple, and the reality of the center is to choose the BlackBerry.

Finally, please look forward to 36 Krypton video on BlackBerry Passport.
