Most people are no longer interested in any
blackberry product anymore, but that doesn’t
mean the Blackberry Z30 is something to
immediately pass by. In this article of mine I’m
going to tell you why you should consider joining
the BlackBerry family once more
Design
In terms of design, the Z30 looks like any
premium smartphone, with rounded corners,
predominantly black shell, silver accents, and
soft-touch back. As Far as i can tell, there’s
really no distinguishing feature that makes it a
“Blackberry” as opposed to some other handset,
although it’s stylish and comfortable at the
same time.
Display
Sporting a 5-inch 720p display, the Z30 is the
biggest-screened Blackberry ever. Brightness is
a little lacking behind and the lack of a full HD
resolution.
Although the screen does bring excellent
contrast, wide viewing angles, and cool vibrant
colors.
Camera
It uses the same 8.0 megapixel sensor and LED
flash as Blackberry’s newer smartphones,
complete with the same software and editing
options, save for a few extras like a new HDR
mode.
The Quality is good, although indoor shots leave
a lot to be desired, requiring plenty of light and
very steady and careful handling.
It comes with all the usual roster of wireless
connectivity options, as befitting a modern
flagship. Running the new BlackBerry 10.2
operating system, the phone brings a selection
of fresh tricks up its sleeve. We’re big fans of
the Peek gesture for quickly glancing at
messages, the unified Hub inbox, the Priority
Hub (automatically puts threads with those it
deems important to the top of the pile), header
notifications, Priority Calling, and more. While
not quite as filled with extras as iOS or Android,
the BB OS is now a full-featured platform, more
so than it has ever been. The lack of apps, of
course, remains the sore thumb, considering
some mainstream apps (e.g. Instagram) remain
missing from the selection.
Performance
A 1.7GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro orchestrates the
action paired with 2GB of RAM, making for zippy
performance with zero delays both when
navigating features and launching apps. If
there’s anything that feels slow, it’s
Blackberry’s cosmetic touches to the platform,
such as the split-second full-screen view of a
lunched app, many of which are absolutely
unnecessary.
Call quality is great, with voices coming through
clear with a very warm sound. Speakerphone is
equally impressive. In fact, those on the other
end, said it sounded even better than regular
calls. There’s plenty of volume to go, making it
viable for use even in loud environments.
The Z30’s 2,880 mAh battery lasts quite a long
time, going a full day (as in, near-24 hours) on
moderate use with a single-digit percentage
remaining.
Conclusion
It is Priced at $199.99 on Verizon, the
Blackberry Z30 is easily the best all-touch
smartphone the company has ever made. At
that price point, it’s competing with the best of
the best in modern smartphones and, it just
comes up a tad short.
You can also get it from online stores in Nigeria.
