BlackBerry Curve 9315 Review

Score: 44.4 / 100

BlackBerry Curve 9315 is a little bit outdated BlackBerry cellphone launched in January 2013, counting with a fast processor clocking at 800 megahertz, a 2.4" screen and a 3.2 MP back side camera. But let's get into much more details.

Blackberry decided to equip this cellphone using a quite powerful processor running at 800 MHz with 512 MB of RAM memory.

This device isn't a very compact phone, taking into consideration it is 4.29" long,but it just contains a 2.4" screen. Blackberry justmade this phone in color black. It seems like Blackberry forgot about optimizing the weight in this 3.66 oz device.

Blackberry packed this device with a nice 2.4-inches display, and a 240 x 320 (QVGA) resolution, making everything look nice.

This phone is equipped with only a 3.2 megapixels back side camera. It also shoots 640x480 VGA videos. This camera also counts with a couple of useful characteristics: flash, digital image stabilization, geo tagging and face detection shooting.

This cellphone packs a mid capacity 1450 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery that provides this cellphone a below average battery duration. This phone has a reported 432 hs stand by time and a 8 hours talk time according to Blackberry.

The BlackBerry Curve 9315 counts with wifi capability (which it can provide to other devices around, acting as a wireless router or modem) and the fastest 3G data connection, over HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM connection.

The BlackBerry Curve 9315 also comes with a handful of useful characteristics like Bluetooth (enables communication with other cellphones and accessories), GPS (Global Positioning System) and Radio, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone is priced $ 120, a very high price for comparing with other similar phones.
