I don’t understand why blackberry need to beef up their specs. It’s not like they have heavy 3D games in their blackberry app world.
Most people wont buy blackberry for gaming only. Is there performance issue with blackberry OS?
Joseph says:
You are correct drew and you said it right. If the your intention is for gaming then, choose the right brand and unit that fits your lifestyle. Not all beefy specs are intended for gaming but for office professionals doing heavy multitasking. An engineer like me who used to have more projects and fun of watching movies and doing office works outdoor, then I choose iPhone 6 plus 128GB and Sony Xperia Z Ultra and I found it perfect for my everyday use.

I am still waiting for the two operators to launch this on their postpaid lines. Any update on this matter? I really wanted to avail this beast phone for postpaid.
