Here are 5 reasons why the Blackberry 10 smartphone is seen as a better option over the android smartphone.

1. Multitasking: On Blackberry 10, any app can be instantly minimized with the swipe up gesture and is then accessible as a small file on a separate screen.

2. BlackBerry Hub: The Blackberry 10 has a dedicated hub that unites all your text messages, IMs, emails, social network feeds, call records, etc., in one centralized place, thereby making it easy to get all your notifications in order, read, and respond how you want.

3. Search: In BB 10 OS, you don’t have to open up a dedicated search apps, just start typing your desired term from the home screen and the search window opens up automatically.

4. Notifications: On BB OS 10, all new incoming messages and notifications are shown momentarily. This works with all apps including games. Android provides the same functionality, but they don’t work well with all apps. The blackberry 10 has a better notification access than its android counterpart.

5. Security: With Android phones, if you forgot your password all you need do is to get the phone flashed to bypass the security lockscreen. The same can’t be done on BB OS 10. The blackberry 10 OS is more secured than the android OS. Since the android OS is an open source, it can be easily tweaked or customised, making prone to virus and easy to hack.

If you know other things BB OS 10 does better than Android, please let us know in the comment section below.

this is ignorance at its peak. Bb10 and android are both linux platforms. U can run android apps on BB10. They both are on level 4 security and are both based on open source linux. Bb10 is based on QT while android is a tweak of debian and suse linux. As long as ur Fone has a camera and GPS then its less secure.

Everyday reasons a particular OS is better than Android surfaces but without meaningful reasons

1. Every OS handles its multitasking approach differently. On Droids, push down the center button to view recent apps or click on the on screen button to view them. Op never included opened apps to be 8 apps maximum and phones like Z3 can't open more than 4 apps at a go

2. BB hub works perfectly but it's only for optimised apps hence not alll applications deliver notifications in the hub. Droid has a notification center for this same purpose.

3. Droids has a Google search widget on the home screen to aid search locally or through the Web. On touchwiz, u can easily swipe down and use S finder to search locally

4. Same thing with hub

5. Bb10 is the most secured OS but you didn't define your security well. Going by your approach, there are diff methods of unlocking your phone if you forget your password without flashing but not that on bb10 if you incorrectly enter your password 10 times, you will be need to input your backup password which if you don't know will end up erasing your phone back to factory settings

All OS's are prone to virus and hacks. Windows and bb10 is yet to witness this because it's market share is 0. Hackers cant waste their time om nothing. iOS hacks increases by the day

Waiting for the windows fans to write theirs too and maybe Jolla, sailfish and symbian fans
While every device is subject to vulnerability, there are still boundaries.

Don't kid yourself, if an OS maker doesn't want you to root/jailbreak it's device, you'll find it terribly difficult.
Windows Phone still stands as almost unhackable!
Visit XDA, you'll see some of the best geeks can't really mess with WP OS as they have with Android.

Even if a phone has low market shares, it doesn't stop these geeks from trying out these guys from seeking another conquest.


Before you mention iOS, Apple left their OS prone to jailbreak intentionally to increase market share.

A good example is blackberry, BBOS was the most secure for years despite it being a big player for years.

Bro, I use a Z10 too.. I have two power banks too but I don't use them much cos the light has improved a lot where I stay but what you said about the Z10 battery isn't true sha.. BlackBerry 10 batteries are better than the others but they don't last like you are saying.
i don't use Z10. I use Q5... ask anyone using Q5. the battery is cool...

My friend using Z10 envy the way my battery last... I guess Q5 batteries is better off than Z10

I was going to say something, but Nigerians most especially are so attached to anything that seems trendy that they forget about value and other important I.T stuff.

I remember when people condemned Tecno, now it's practically in every Nigerians collection of gadgets. lipsrsealed

I understand you perfectly bro but don't you are still wrong. Apple didn't their iOS hackable easily becomes it makes the phone more vulnerable. If iOS phone gets hacked regardless of it being jailbroken or not, the headline would read iPhone iPad is opened to threats and loss of data. Furthermore, icloud was hacked sometime ago. You can't also say Apple made it very possible to happen

Regarding the windows thing, XDA geeks might not have succeeded in hacking in doesn't mean another hacker elsewhere in the world wouldn't be able to. Mac OS wasn't "hackable" for years but when it started gaining martet share it became vulnerable.

BBOS wasn't really a smartphone. It was just an advanced internet enabled calculator

The bottom line about this is hackers don't just waste their precious time on something not worth it.
