The Canadian giant has launched this cost-effective Smartphone called BlackBerry Z3 for high-volume markets where there is great demand and liking for the brand. You can consider BlackBerry Z3 as the first full touch-screen Smartphone offered by the company at a budget price.
Appearance
BlackBerry Z3 has a 5-inch qHD display with a resolution of 540×960 pixels. It offers sharp colors and a tidy display. Weighing about 164 grams, this gadget has dimensions of 140×72.8×9.26 mm. It has a 5 MP rear camera, as well as a 1.1 MP front camera. Thus, we may not call it a Smartphone made for those who love photography. However, you may take decent pictures at places where the light is sufficiently available. With BlackBerry Natural Sound, this Smartphone gives nice listening experience. There is also a built-in FM radio tuner that you can use even without a network connection. The placement of keys is at comfortable positions and this device looks sturdy and long lasting.
Performance
This gadget runs on a 1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon 400 processor. It has BlackBerry 10.2.1 OS and 1.5 GB RAM. The device has storage of 8 GB that can be extended up to 32 GB. The Smartphone is installed with a powerful 2,500-mAh battery that is non-removable. You may easily stretch the battery over a complete day. Since BlackBerry has designed this device majorly for Indonesian and Indian markets, there is no LTE in it. You may get regular connectivity through different modes, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC and GPS. Overall, it offers satisfactory performance.
Ease of Use
This Smartphone is easy to use with a good grip and smooth finish. Since the back is textured, it does not slip from your hands. It is also not slim enough to fall off your hands. On the other hand, some people may find this device a bit wider to hold. You may also find it being smudged often. Additionally, swiping may be a bit of problem at times.
Support services
BlackBerry Z3 comes with preloaded apps that bring a complete new world to its users. In addition, it now also directly supports a wide range of Android apps.
Value for money
This smart device is expected to be available in India with a price tag of about $190. Thus, it can be a good deal for people who require a low-cost Smartphone with above-average performance.
