what's up guys Lew here and this is the brand new z10 from blackberry I just got back from the event that they were having here in Toronto they're having a number of events around the world they announced this new phone as well as another one and they launched it in the UK for now it's going to be releasing here in Canada on the 5th of February in the u.s. in mid-march but we've got one right now so why wait let's go ahead and do an unboxing this is going to be a little bit Rhynie compared to my other unboxings but I want to get it up for you guys quick because this device has just come out so let's go ahead and take a closer look at the product so as you guys can tell this is not a retail experience this is something that we got as part of the BlackBerry experience at the event so the retail unboxing might be a little bit different although I'm not sure of that as you can see here z10 on the top of the box and on the inside you've got the device as well as this velvet or felt like finish actually a pretty nice presentation here the device is surprisingly light but that's because it has something that I didn't know it had which is a removable battery so let's go ahead and remove this protective cover first there you go so you can see the texture on the back it's actually got a pretty grippy texture as well as the new BlackBerry logo they are not called rim anymore they officially change their name today to BlackBerry up here you've got your camera as well as what looks like an LED flash and moving to the front of the device this is where your screen is go ahead and remove that one got a blackberry logo on the bottom forward facing camera speaker there's a notification light in there that I saw on the demo unit let's go ahead and look at some of the other items in the box before we take a closer look at the device a little bit of paperwork saying thank you very much from blackberry how does this come out dad there we go okay in here we have more paperwork not going to bore you guys with that there is a microUSB cable for charging the device of course followed by a headset which is good not all manufacturers are including a headset anymore you've also got a fairly small power brick pretty portable there a carrying case which you know you don't see that very often anymore so you are gonna get little carrying pouch with your z10 cleaning cloth as well microfiber cleaning cloth the battery this I believe is an 1800 milliamp hour battery when we were at the event they were actually showing off an external battery but since this is removable you can carry a couple of these and actually improve your battery life that way so the back does come off of this device so anyways that gives you a look at what's included the back is removable like I just said so I might as well show you guys what that is like it's a little bit tough to get off there so that's what the interior looks like and you can see that there's actually some removable storage as well looks like a microSD slot which is always a nice addition and then taking a closer look around the device you could see the port's here we've got the this one actually is your HDMI micro HDMI followed by your micro USB charging port syncing port etc as we move around to the other side here you've got your volume rocker and then in between is your mute button convenience button they're calling it a believe it's programmable on the top you have your power switch as well as a headphone jack and a noise cancelling mic now something to mention here is that you know you might be annoyed having your power button or hold switch up at the top of the device I know I never like having it in that location but something cool that this phone features is the ability to unlock your device with a swipe up so that means that you're going to be able to not have to reach up like this and put your hand in an uncomfortable position for something that you do so commonly on a smartphone so you can just swipe straight up and it'll unlock so anyways I'll go off camera for a quick second and then boot up the device okay so now I've got the device booted up and as I said before you can unlock just by swiping up that gesture right there the entire OS is very smooth much smoother than I expected it to be and really so far it's been a pleasure to use the main sort of feature here the thing that they're talking about most is this function here where you swipe from left to right and you get access to blackberry hub which is essentially your notifications this is the place where your text messages emails etc are going to live so it's a really quick way of getting in and out of there and jumping back into real time applications that are you know functioning in the background here or not in the background I guess right in the foreground of your homepage you've also got a section here for more traditional looking icons for your apps a very exciting new OS in a space that's been dominated by basically a couple of OSS for a while now so I'll probably go into more detail on this device right here in future videos if that's something you guys want to see make sure to leave a thumbs up down below if you enjoyed this unboxing also please remember to leave a thumbs up down below and subscribe if you haven't yet and yeah hopefully I'll get you guys some more coverage on the new z10 from blackberry and maybe the other new BlackBerry the q10 as well alright guys nice as always for watching and I'll catch you on the next video later
