Blackberry took its time to come forth with its BB10 operating system on its latest smartphones.
However, the hard work has paid off and the company can sit back and enjoy the fruits of labor put in its latest released handsets. The success stories of Blackberry Z10 and Q10 speak for itself. However, Blackberry works on the simple strategy – retain its dedicated customers.
In comparison, the Chinese manufacturer, Gionee storms the market with its state of the art Elife E6 handsets. The handset comes with a dynamic unibody design along with a decent spec sheet. Let us compare the two handsets in terms of their software and hardware specs to determine how they fare against each other.
Software
In terms of software, the Blackberry Q10 handset runs on the BB10 operating system. The platform is flexible, quick and visually polished in every respect, similar to that of modern day mobile operating systems. However, the drawback is the lack of any revolutionary feature that would make it stand out in the competition. Moreover, the platform comes equipped with unique navigation features that make the platform more complicated.
Messaging on the Blackberry Q10 smartphone is a fun filled experience. The traditional physical QWERTY keypad of the Blackberry Q10 offers the user a decent typing experience, as compared to the on-screen keypad. However, the users may find a hard time pressing the right buttons because of their smaller size. Overall, the messaging experience is good.
In comparison, the Elife E6 smartphone comes equipped with Android version 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system. The OS offers the potential user with user interface known as Amigo, as nicknamed by Gionee. The platform provides the user with similar experience as that of the iOS handset. In terms of multitasking usage, the platform works smoothly, similar to the iOS 7 operating system.
Processor
The Blackberry Q10 derives power from the dual core processor, running at a speed of 1.5GHz and accompanied with a RAM of 2GB. The combination ensures smooth functioning of the handset. The handset comes equipped with internal storage capacity of 16GB along with a microSD card slot for memory enhancement up to 64GB.
In comparison, the Gionee Elife E6 handset comes equipped with a quad core Cortex A7 MediaTek processor, running at a speed of 1.5GHz. The processor is accompanied with a RAM of 2GB. However, the handset did not provide a lag free performance, because of the hardwearing animations implemented in the Gionee handset.
Verdict
Both the smartphones have impressed the masses with their state of the art features and spec sheet. However, choosing a handset requires personal preference.
