BlackBerry Z30
BlackBerry Z30 released in October 2013 is a huge phone. It has a screen that measures 5 inches across diagonals. The phone looks quite solid and reliable, though the innards are a little bit outdated for a Q4 2013 device. Its closest rival in terms of specs in the Lumia 925, but the Z30 is more expensive than the Nokia model. The dimensions of the Z30 are 140.7 x 72 x 9.4mm and it’s quite slim for a 5 inch smartphone. The backside cover includes texture plastic with the BlackBerry’s logo in the middle. The case hides the excellent 2880 mAh battery and the microSD slot supporting cards up to 64 GB. BlackBerry Z30 is powered by a dual-core Snapdragon processor at 1.5 GHz backed by 2 GB of RAM. The internal storage included in this phone is 16 GB. The 5-inch screen has a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and a pixel density of 294 ppi. This phone has two cameras – an 8 MP shooter with LED flash on the back, plus a 2 MP front facing camera. BlackBerry Z30 comes with GPS support, active noise cancelation, maps, photo and document viewer, HDMI port, NFC, Bluetooth and WI-Fi. | |
