BlackBerry Classic Review

BlackBerry Classic is a high quality device released in 2014, which counts with a 3.5" screen, a 1.5 gigahertz Dual-Core processing unit, and two cameras, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 2 megapixels front facing camera. Let's take a deeper sight of what this phone offers to us.

The BlackBerry Classic is very slim and comfortable, whereas it's not so slim as many other cellphones you can find, with a thickness of 0.4 inches. This phone is 5.16" long, but it's only able to hold a much smaller 3.5" screen. This phone feels a bit heavy for a phone of this size, with a weight of 6.28 oz. Blackberry is offering this phone in black color.

This phone is equipped with a very good 720 x 720 3.5" screen, which makes it hard to distinguish the pixels in the screen.

This phone is equipped with a high performance Dual-Core CPU clocking at 1.5 gigahertz, included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 system chip and a big 2 GB RAM memory. Graphic calculations often eats lots of processing power, so the BlackBerry Classic also has an additional Adreno 225 graphics processing unit ticking at 400 MHz to unload the CPU. The BlackBerry Classic counts with an interesting 16 GB internal storage and a slot for external memory cards, allowing the user to store hundreds of games and apps without running out of space.

This phone features two cameras, an 8 megapixels back camera and a 2 MP front facing camera. It is capable of filming Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 fps. Additionally, the camera counts with a few useful characteristics: flash, auto-focus, fast burst mode, geo tagging and digital image stabilization.

This cellphone provides WiFi connectivity (which can be shared with other devices around, acting as a modem or router), 4G (LTE) great performance internet connection and also HSPA+ connectivity, that is a slower 4G variation and fast 3G connectivity, using HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a Nano SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

The BlackBerry Classic has an incredible 2515 mAh Li-Ion non-removable battery, enough to provide this phone with an impressive battery life. Blackberry says this device has a 365 hours stand by time and a 17.2 hours talk time. An issue to take into account is that this cellphone's battery isn't replaceable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts to have trouble holding its charge, even though with this big battery you will probably buy a new device before it happens.

The BlackBerry Classic also features a wide variety of useful characteristics like Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (enables communication with other cellphones and accessories), GPS and FM Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This device is priced about $ 329, expensive for a device this level. This phone is the correct choice if you are looking for a gaming phone, need a phone for work, you love taking photographs or want a cellphone mainly for internet broswing and social networks.
