Running BlackBerry 10 OS rather than Android or iOS, the Z10 is a reminder of a different era in smartphone competition. It's built on a dual-core 1.5GHz Krait chip paired with 2GB RAM, which was mid-range territory back when this launched in January 2013. The 4.2-inch screen packs in 768 x 1280 pixels for a sharp 355ppi, though the smaller size feels cramped next to today's phones.

The 8MP rear camera handles autofocus, LED flash and 1080p video, decent numbers for its time, with a 2MP front camera for basic video calls. BlackBerry Z10 price in Malaysia starts from RM480, and storage comes in at 16GB with microSD support up to 64GB if you need more room.

Battery capacity sits at 1800mAh, modest by current standards but reasonable given the device's compact 137.5g body. NFC, GPS and dual-band Wi-Fi are all present, so basic connectivity needs are covered even if app support for BB10 has largely dried up.
