BlackBerry Publishes The Top 5 Improvements For BlackBerry 10 Software v10.0.10.85.

Earlier today as many of you know a few carriers rolled out a new software update for the BlackBerry Z10 to version 10.0.10.85. Well we just received the top 5 improvements that goes along with this update and it seems like BlackBerry has been hard at work.

Here is a look at the improvements.

• 3rd Party Applications Performance
  We’ve improved performance for 3rd party applications, so developers can build apps that run fast and smooth for you. With this update, you might want to keep an eye out for some fresh new app launches in March, like WhatsApp.

• Phone, Calendar, and Contacts
  Among the top improvements and features are fixes for Gmail calendars on BlackBerry 10. You’ll also find improvements in the BlackBerry Hub for logging calls log and how conversations are handled. We’ve also made general improvements to importing contacts from online sources.

• Camera
  We’ve optimized the camera for better photos in low-light situations. You’ll love the difference this makes for photos where you don’t use a flash – like the Time Shift Camera feature.

• Browser and Media
  With more and more of you using the gorgeous screen on the BlackBerry Z10 to consume online videos and media, we’ve made a number of improvements to the software in the way the browser handles video playback to provide a fantastic experience.

• Battery Life
  The software team has included a number of battery life optimizations with over 60 battery saving improvements since launch to keep you moving. These combined improvements are designed so that you see improvements in battery life and heavy users especially should see a longer average usage per charge cycle.

How to update your software on BlackBerry 10
Software is available over the air (OTA). Typically, you’ll get a notification about new updates, but you can manually check to see if it has been made available by your service provider and install it in a few simple steps.
Settings> Software Updates> Check for Updates> — then follow the on screen steps to install.

There you have it – the first OTA update to your BlackBerry 10 smartphone. We’ll be rolling out the update with all of our carrier partners around the globe over the coming weeks.

Glad to see that BlackBerry is letting us know what has changed in this update. I know in the past we all were kinda on our own to figure things out and then let each other know what changed. Hit up the comments below and let us know what you think of this update and if you have found anything different in it so far.
