There was a time when a smartphone meant a phone with a Qwerty keypad (well there were other things to it as well,) but now that is history. Except for BlackBerry nobody makes smartphones with Qwerty keypads any longer. Till about six months back there were some Android phones available with physical buttons but now even they are no longer sold.
In the feature phone segment too finding a Qwerty keypad is difficult. Either you will find an alphanumeric keypad or touch display. We have not tested or even seen many Qwerty phones sold by Indian brands. By and large, only Nokia has been launching products with Qwerty keypads of late (even if Indian brands launch they seldom announce their devices).
This story was necessary because we still get queries from people asking for the best phones with physical keypads. Most people are not comfortable with only a touch display. If you are one of them, here are the top five choices for you in each range.
BlackBerry Q10 (Rs 44,900)
Nothing beats BlackBerry Q10 if a physical keypad is must for you. Though it is not cheap, priced at Rs 44,900, it gets the best hardware, very latest software and a touchscreen as well. You can read the review of the phone here (http://www.themobileindian.com/reviews/825_BlackBerry-Q10-review:-Qwerty-is-back).
The BlackBerry 10 OS bearing BlackBerry Q10 smartphone features a physical Qwerty keyboard along with a touchscreen display. It has a 3.1 inch Super Amoled display that packs 720 x 720 pixel resolution natively. Besides offering 328 pixel per inch pixel density, the screen also supports multi-touch and under it rests a four row Qwerty keyboard.
The BlackBerry Q10 is about 10.3 mm thick and weighs 139 grams. This smartphone has a dual core 1.5 GHz Texas Instruments OMAP 4470 mobile processor inside along with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB on-board storage. There is also a hot swappable memory card slot that can accommodate up to a 32 GB micro SD card.
The rear part of BlackBerry Q10 flaunts the same 8 megapixel auto focus camera and LED flash as the one used in BlackBerry Z10. With the capability to record full 1080p HD videos, the Q10's camera promises high quality imaging. There is a 2 megapixel camera in the front capable of 720p HD video recording and there is 3X digital zoom.
BlackBerry Q10 supports quad band GSM networks and packs a dual band WiFi network (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) along with Bluetooth 4.0. BlackBerry has packed an 1800 mAh battery to offer talk time of 10 hours over 3G networks.
