The phone is available in two colors, white and black which can be extended to 64GB with the help of additional memory card.
The front side of BlackBerry Z10 features a Gorilla Glass display panel, with touch sensitive screen which requires proper gestures to navigate easily around user interface. A use has to do this, because there are no Android like buttons or home key to navigate.
