BlackBerry Z10 gets high marks from TIME

TIME magazine has named the BlackBerry Z10 the world’s best “fun-sized” smartphone that wasn’t made by Apple.

What is a “fun-sized” smartphone? It’s a phone with a screen size of 4.3 inches or less.

In today’s market, manufacturers have decreed that bigger is better. In 2010 the average screen size of a smartphone came in at 3.96 inches. Jump ahead to 2014 and not one popular device, except for the iPhone, is below 4.5 inches.

With “small” screen devices now a dying trend, even Apple seems to be following the ‘bigger is better’ mentality, what does it mean for those with smaller hands?

This report from TIME lists the ten best small screen smartphones.

Here’s what it says about the BlackBerry Z10:

“The best of the tiny bunch, the BlackBerry Z10 is the perfect undersized mobile device, with a focus on productivity over chart-bursting specs or millions of apps. Yes, your friend might tease you with a few BlackBerry-based barbs, but let him laugh as he taps away at his Galaxy Mega 6.3. Chances are that giant phablet is compensating for a secret of his own.”
