Motorola MOTO Z10 reviews round-up

What do other mobile experts think about the Motorola MOTO Z10? We round up review comments and opinions from key online and print publications

(4/5)	Mobile Choice "With the emphasis on video, the MOTO Z10 succeeds in achieving its aim. Motorola has produced a handset that doubles up as a capable video-editing suite, and the video playback needs to be applauded as does the inclusion of three full Hollywood blockbusters. While we had a few issues with the fiddly controls, we were compensated with some novel and useful applications. Though a relatively quiet year, the MOTO Z10 could be just the handset to put Motorola back on the map." Read the Mobile Choice Motorola MOTO Z10 review

(6.5/10)	CNET.co.uk “We really wanted to like the Motorola Z10 because it looks great and is refreshing change from Motorola's initial obsession with clamshell phones. Unfortunately, the software doesn't hold it up and the keypad could be easier to use. Its saving grace, to some extent, is that the audio quality during calls is superb.” Read the CNET.co.uk Motorola MOTO Z10 review

(3/5)	Mobile Phones UK “The Z10 exhibits the usual Symbian problems, such as slow menus, freezing or shutting down. It's also a harder user interface to get to grips with. In summary, the Z10 is a powerful device with a lot of good features, but it isn't our first choice of smartphone, and we don't expect it to be a massive seller. ” Read the Mobile Phones UK Motorola MOTO Z10 review

(4/5)	Stuff.tv “The Z10 is the handset the Z8 should have been and, while it’s still lagging behind on megapixels, it’s still hard not to be impressed with this smartie’s multimedia and video skills.” Read the Stuff.tv Motorola MOTO Z10 review

(4/5)	What Mobile “The Z10 could be looked upon as boring in comparison [to the Z8], with its mix of black, silver and chrome, but it's ure to prove more popular. The smartphone is packed with features, including HSDPA, amazing multimedia functions, email and web, plus a great 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera. The lack of a decent flash is a disappointment, as is the lack of a touchscreen, but these are minor gripes. Finally Motorola has a smartphone to be proud of.” Read the What Mobile Motorola MOTO Z10 review in the April 2008 issue

(8/10)	Pocket-lint.co.uk “Overall, the Z10 is a great device with a quality feel and a butch look. It won’t cause too much a bulge in pocket but packs in a great range of features. For those who often shoot video out and about, be you a citizen blogger journalist, or teenage miscreant, then the Z10 will give you plenty of options as long as you consider any data costs if choosing the immediate online option.” Read the Pocket-lint.co.uk Motorola MOTO Z10 review

(83%)	Your Mobile Phone Reviews “The RIZR Z10 provides its user with a mobile film studio in their hand as this amazing handset comes with high quality video features. The user can record high quality video at thirty frames per second in MPEG4 format. The user can edit their video recordings & even add music, voice & effects to their video which creates the perfect finish." Read the Your Mobile Phone Reviews Motorola MOTO Z10 review

(70% )	The Register “The Z10 is a step up from the original kick sliding Z8, but it’s still not up there with the best smartphones. Top-level features like integrated GPS and Wi-Fi support are absent on this phone. The camera is decent but not a top-notch shooter. There’s the size factor too - you may expect a larger display given the phone’s footprint. General phone performance was good but there were issues with occasional software glitches and sometimes sluggish keypad responsiveness on our review sample.” Read The Register Motorola MOTO Z10 review

(7/10)	Trusted Reviews “The MOTO Z10 picks up where the MOTORIZR Z8 left off, but it's difficult to say whether this phone will have a massive affect in turning Motorola's fortunes around. Operation can be sluggish and battery life has fallen a little, but there are a good number of features here, including that novel kick-slider design and updated spec.” Read the Trusted Reviews Motorola MOTO Z10 review
