BlackBerry 10
BlackBerry 10 is a proprietary mobile operating system for
BlackBerry 10
the BlackBerry line of smartphones, both developed by
BlackBerry Limited (formerly Research In Motion). BlackBerry
10 is based on QNX, a Unix-like operating system that was
originally developed by QNX Software Systems until the
company was acquired by BlackBerry in April 2010.[4]
It supports the application framework Qt (version 4.8) and in

some later models features an Android runtime to run Android
applications. Prior to version 10.3.1, BlackBerry 10 also
supported the Adobe AIR runtime.[5] The user interface uses a
combination of gestures and touch-based interactions for
navigation and control, making it possible to control a device
without having to press any physical buttons, with the
exception of the power button that switches the device on or
off. It also supports hardware keyboards, including ones which
support touch input.
On October 26, 2015, BlackBerry announced that there were

no plans to release new APIs and software development kits
(SDKs) or adopt Qt version 5. Future updates, like versions
10.3.3 and 10.3.4, would focus on security and privacy
enhancements only.[6][7] The BlackBerry Leap is the last
smartphone from BlackBerry to run the BlackBerry 10
operating system.[8]
In 2016, BlackBerry Limited ceased making smartphones and

licensed TCL Communication to manufacture them under the
name BlackBerry Mobile. BlackBerry Mobile smartphones
abandoned BlackBerry 10 in favor of the Android operating BlackBerry Hub being viewed on a BlackBerry
system, beginning with its 2017 BlackBerry KeyOne.[9] The Z10
first BlackBerry phone to ship with Android, however, was Developer BlackBerry Ltd.
BlackBerry Limited's Priv.
Written in C, C++, Qt
On December 15, 2017, BlackBerry announced that there OS family Unix-like, QNX
would be at least another two years of support for BlackBerry Working state Former, succeeded by
10 and BlackBerry OS devices. BlackBerry will end the support Android in May 2019
for the operating system at the end of 2019.[8]

History
The operating system was originally called BBX, but this was changed when BlackBerry was blocked from using the
BBX trademark after legal action from BASIS International, who already used it for their software.[10]
On November 12, 2012, CEO Thorsten Heins announced a January 30, 2013, launch of the BlackBerry 10 operating
system version 10.0 and the first smartphones running it.[11] The operating system, as well as two devices, the Z10 (a
full touchscreen device), and the Q10 (a device equipped with a physical keyboard), were announced simultaneously
around the world on January 30, 2013.[12] The company also announced that the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet would
receive an update to BlackBerry 10 later in 2013.[13] Subsequently, BlackBerry stated when releasing their Q1 2014
financial results that the BlackBerry PlayBook would not be receiving an update to BlackBerry 10, citing that the
hardware would not provide a good experience of BlackBerry 10 and were focusing on future devices. BlackBerry
continued to support and develop the PlayBook with its separate Tablet OS.
On 14 May 2013 BlackBerry OS 10.1 was launched. This brought improvements to many features requested by users.
On 13 September 2013, in Asia, BlackBerry announced the launch of BlackBerry OS 10.2 and a new BlackBerry 10
device, the Z30, providing performance increases over the previous BlackBerry 10 devices.
On June 18, 2014, BlackBerry announced an official relationship with Amazon.com, which resulted in the 10.3 update
bundling the Amazon Appstore.
On 15 December 2017, BlackBerry CEO John S. Chen announced that there would be at least two years of support for
BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry OS devices. The operating system is expected to be end of life at the end of 2019,[8] with
many built-in software packages having their support ended (such as Facebook, Dropbox, Evernote, LinkedIn,
etc.).[14][15][16]
Features
Controls
The touchscreen is the predominant input method of BlackBerry 10, in addition to hardware keyboard for devices that
have one. Users can use gestures and keyboard shortcuts to navigate around the system. For instance, a user can
unlock the device or return to the home screen by swiping from the bottom to the top. Some gestures offer additional
modes of interaction when they are used differently. For instance, the same gesture can be used to show unread
notifications when the user swipes from the bottom edge to somewhat the middle and slightly to the right and also
keep the finger on the touchscreen. Similarly, when the finger is moved from the bottom to the right in a curved
motion, the user can enter BlackBerry Hub immediately.[17] Devices with a hardware keyboard can use keyboard
shortcuts to reach applications or perform specific functions more quickly.
Multitasking
When a user returns to the home screen from within an application, the application is minimized into a so-called
"Active Frame". An Active Frame is a miniaturized window of the application which keeps running in the background.
A user can return to such an application by tapping on the Active Frame or close it by tapping on the X icon. Active
Frames can have widget-like functionality and show small bits of information, similar to widgets on Android. For
instance, the calendar application can show upcoming events and meetings. BlackBerry 10 limits the number of active
applications and it varies per device.
BlackBerry Hub
BlackBerry 10 collates emails, SMS/MMS, calls and notifications into the BlackBerry Hub. It shows all messages and
notifications in a continuous list, sorted by date. The user can filter results by application or, in the case of email, also
by inbox. The user can create, view or act upon messages or notifications directly from the Hub. For instance, when
the user opens a Facebook message, the Hub will open a small part of the Facebook application and allow the user to
perform the same actions as the Facebook application itself. Applications need to support the Hub specifically to use
most of these features, which is only possible for applications written with the native SDK. Notifications from
unsupported applications are collated in the generic notifications tab.
Miscellaneous
Other notable features of BlackBerry 10 include:
A virtual keyboard with support for predictive typing and several gestures.[18][19]
Voice control and BlackBerry Assistant (10.3.1 and later), a virtual assistant, with which the user can perform
various tasks by voice input or typed queries.
BlackBerry Balance, with which the user can separate personal from work data, if enabled by the device's
enterprise server. The user can switch between two workspaces, each with their own applications, files and
accounts.
BlackBerry Link, with which the user can synchronize data between the device and a computer, update the device
or make backups. It supports iTunes and Windows Media Player.
Applications
Preloaded
BlackBerry 10 has a number of applications that help users perform various tasks and activities. These include a web
browser, as well applications for notes, reminders, calculator, clock, music, media, weather and file management.
Cloud services like Box and Dropbox are also integrated by default. In addition, BlackBerry's messaging service
BlackBerry Messenger is included, which supports video chat, VoIP and screen sharing.
Third-party applications
BlackBerry 10 can run applications that were written with its native SDK, Android applications compiled for API levels
10–18[20] (support varies per version) and applications written for Adobe AIR (only supported until version 10.3.1).
BlackBerry 10 provides the distribution platform BlackBerry World as well as the Amazon Appstore (on version 10.3.0
and later).[21] Since version 10.2.1, Android application packages can be installed directly, whereas on previous
versions Android applications could only be installed through BlackBerry World or by sideloading, which required
packaging such applications into a native package format (BAR).[22]
At release in January 2013, BlackBerry 10 had 70,000 third-party applications.[22] At the 2013 BlackBerry Live
conference, BlackBerry announced that they had more than 120,000 applications.[23]
Some developers have offered applications to access the Google Play Store, although this is not sanctioned by
BlackBerry or Google. Applications which depend on the Google Play Services framework may not run. Similarly,
Android applications which require a newer API level than 18 cannot run on BlackBerry 10.[20]
Devices
Released Devices
BlackBerry 10 supports the following BlackBerry smartphones, all of which can run the latest version. The BlackBerry
Leap is the last smartphone from BlackBerry to run the BlackBerry 10 operating system, as BlackBerry devices are now
running Android instead.[8]

Developer activities
Engagement strategy
Building up to the launch, the company made substantial changes to how it had previously engaged developers, being
substantially more active at courting developers, solving issues and being transparent about development updates. The
company sent two teams to engage developers. The first, focused on acquiring premier applications from third parties.
The second team focused on engaging the broader development community and building the platforms application
count.[26]
Prototype smartphones
In May 2012, the company released a prototype touch screen smartphone to BlackBerry developers as part of the
BlackBerry 10 Jam Conference in Orlando, Florida. The Dev Alpha A' device, which resembled a small BlackBerry
PlayBook, ran an early version of the operating system and was provided as a means for developers to develop and test
their applications on a physical device.[27]
In September 2012, a second developer prototype was released in September 2012, known as the Dev Alpha B. It
includes a faster processor and a number of internal improvements.[28]
A third developer device, the Dev Alpha C,[29] was announced on November 29, 2012, and is the first developer
prototype to demonstrate the physical keyboard capabilities of BlackBerry 10. Acquisition of a Dev Alpha C device is
based around a point system, meaning that developers who have previously developed apps for BlackBerry, or have
had the Dev Alpha A/B devices, will have a higher chance of receiving a device than a new BlackBerry developer. It was
released at the BlackBerry Jam Europe 2013 event in February 2013.
Portathons
Pre-launch "Portathons" held by BlackBerry have received up to 19,000 applications submitted per weekend.[30]
Reception
Reviews of BlackBerry 10 have been generally positive. David Pogue of the New York Times noted that the software
was, "simple to master, elegantly designed and surprisingly complete. It offers features nobody else offers, some
tailored to the corporate world that raised BlackBerry aloft in its glory days."[31] Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street
Journal referred to the operating system as "logical and generally easy to use". Mossberg praised the virtual keyboard,
camera software, and messaging hub; but criticized its application ecosystem, cloud capabilities and the immaturity of
some features. Gizmodo's Kyle Wagner states that BlackBerry 10's home screen "gives BB10 the single best
implementation of multitasking of any mobile OS right now". Wagner goes on to say that the Hub "works out to
function a bit more like a junk drawer". He also reports what he refers to as the "Tragic Flaw": "Unlike every other
major OS right now, BlackBerry does not feel fully integrated.".[32] Wagner's review was based on the BB 10.0 and
since the initial reviews of BB10 the OS has been updated several times and for many the issues have been
addressed.[33][34]
In comparison to that, at launch, CrackBerry.com views the new features more positively and takes into account the
fact that the OS is brand new. It says that the BlackBerry Hub "is a polished solution to efficiently managing the influx
of messages we have coming at us...".[35] It goes on to mention minor discrepancies and finally pointing out that many
of the problems are getting fixed in future updates (some now released, e.g. battery life improvements, call ringtone
disabled in bedside mode[36]).[35][37] It criticizes the limited customization options compared to BlackBerry OS (Alert
tone volumes, alert light colour). Regarding the apps in BlackBerry World "really impressed by the quality of apps
BlackBerry World has to offer", it notes that the application ecosystem is not as large as Android and iOS because of its
age (brand new) and finishes with "doubtlessly many more will come around once they see the Z10 getting traction in
the wild." Its general summary of BlackBerry 10 (with thought for its predecessor) "is that BlackBerry 10 really is the
best of the old and the best of the new assembled seamlessly into an elegant, practical, and integrated package."
As of Q2 2013, the new BlackBerry 10 platform had almost the same number of developers using the platform as the
legacy BlackBerry 5/6/7 had just before the release of BlackBerry 10.[38] Within a few months from its launch, the
BlackBerry 10 platform was used by approximately 15% of mobile developers.
BlackBerry 10 added a compatibility layer for Android software, which allowed developers to repackage their Android
apps for distribution on BlackBerry World, however this advertised feature has received a poor reception as the
Android apps "performed abysmally on the phone. Sluggish, ugly, and disconnected from the core OS. In fact, because
these apps are being run in a software emulation of Android — Gingerbread no less (that's version 2.3) — they bear
little to no relationship to the rest of the operating system".[39] Later versions added the ability for users to manually
install Android app packages. Beginning with the BlackBerry Passport, Amazon Appstore was bundled with
BlackBerry 10 to provide an additional source of third-party Android software.[21][22][40] BlackBerry CEO John S.
Chen hoped that Amazon's own smartphone, the Fire Phone, would bolster the adoption of the Amazon store and
attract more major developers to it, and in turn, BlackBerry's ecosystem. However, the Fire Phone was a commercial
failure, which led to BlackBerry's decision to develop an Android phone of its own, resulting in the BlackBerry Priv.[41]
