BlackBerry Z30 review: Against the odds

Introduction:

The BlackBerry Z30 launches in time of crisis and will be looked upon as the savior, or end up as the one that witnessed the company's undoing. Market share has hit the fan, as RIM of old which stood for innovation and vision, has turned into the money-losing, job-cutting, CEO-swapping, rescue-deal-awaiting BlackBerry that we have now.

Yet, in the middle of all this, another flagship gets unleashed to hopefully help and turn around the shrinking market share and ease the pressure from all sorts of competition. The BB 10 OS was indeed a great comeback, especially from such a conservative company, but the Z10 failed to become the kick-starter many thought - hoped - it would be. It's now the BlackBerry Z30's turn but the company may have already lost the smartphone battle and now running in survival mode.


Key features:

  • Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, penta-band UMTS/HSPA, penta-band LTE
  • 5.0" 16M-color 720p Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen
  • Dual-core 1.7 GHz Krait, 2GB RAM, Adreno 320
  • 8 megapixel auto-focus camera with face detection and Time Shift; LED flash, 2MP front facing camera

  • 16GB storage, microSD card slot; built-in Dropbox and Box integration
  • Ability to side-load and run Jelly-Bean-compatible apps
  • Dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Wi-Fi hotspot; Wi-Fi sync

  • Standard microUSB port, USB host, microHDMI
  • 3.5mm audio jack
  • GPS receiver with A-GPS and GLONASS

Main disadvantages:

Below-par screen resolution, the competition has 1080p displays
The UI poses a steep learning curve
Thick and heavy, not quite up to the usual high standard of design and finish
BlackBerry Maps fall short of the competition
Camera offers little control over image quality
Audio quality degrades with headphones plugged in (as opposed to an external amp)
