BlackBerry Z3 Review
Score: 53.8 / 100
BlackBerry Z3 is a nice BlackBerry phone, including an extremely powerful Dual-Core processor speeding at 1200 MHz, a 5-inches touch-screen, and two cameras, a 5 megapixels back side camera and a 1.1 MP front-facing camera.
This phone has a wonderful design, with a thickness of just 0.36". This cellphone is only 5.51 inches long, but it still manages to hold a 5" display. This device isn't very light comparing to other cellphones , weighting 5.78 oz.
This phone includes a good level 960 x 540 5" screen, which makes everything look beautiful.
The BlackBerry Z3 is powered by a very fast 1.2 GHz Dual-Core processor, included in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 8230 chip with a great 1,5 GB RAM. Graphic calculations generally eats lots of processing time, so it also has an additional 450 MHz Adreno 305 GPU to help handle those graphic tasks. This device has an 8 GB quite big internal memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, allowing you to install hundreds of games and applications without any trouble.
The BlackBerry Z3 counts with WiFi capability (although it can't provide it to other devices as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G data connection, supported by HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card for GSM connection.
This device features two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 1.1 megapixels front side camera. This phone also films videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD). To complete the camera, it also counts with a couple of useful characteristics like auto-focus, flash and digital image stabilization.
This phone counts with a high capacity 2500 mAh Li-Ion non-replaceable battery that can keep it running for many hours without charging it. Blackberry informs a stand by time of 389 hs and a talk time of 15.5 hours for this cellphone. An issue to take into consideration is that this device's battery is not replaceable so you can't buy a new battery when it begins to lose its charge, while with this big battery you will probably buy a new device before that becomes an issue.
The BlackBerry Z3 also comes with a couple of useful characteristics such as Bluetooth (4.0), GPS Geolocation and FM Radio, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
This cellphone is being sold for about 100 dollars, which is a high price for this type of phone. This phone is the right choice if you want it to play tons of games.
