BlackBerry Z30 now official: 5-inches, BB10.2 & more

BlackBerry has been very silent lately, and they weren’t that aggressive in releasing new products. The BlackBerry Z30 now shatters that silence as it becomes the new flagship phone for the company, offering a 5-inch Super AMOLED display, a 1.7GHz CPU, and a very beefy 25-hour 2,880mAh battery.

Social networking & communication has always been one of the major strengths of BlackBerry, and now it seems that they are going to improve on that a lot more: BlackBerry 10 OS also gets an update in the form of 10.2 – where features such as the Hub & other social platforms are getting improvements, and BlackBerry Natural Sound is implemented with the Z30 that is going to improve your voice call & video conference experiences even at far distances.

BlackBerry Z30 specs:
5-inch display @ 1280×720 pixels
Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.7GHz dual-core Krait
Adreno 320
2GB RAM

Upper midrange specs + premium price again?

Sorry BB but that’s never going to work…ever.

Only a company like Apple can pull it off, and you’re not Apple lol

Oh BlackBerry is not expecting the Z10 to do all that well. No launch event. Just a press release.

History past revisited. A few scores ago, apple was bankrupt, but thanks to Bill Gates, and Microsoft money, apple corporation survived. Soon, apple started making pods and phones and tablets, aside from computers, and the rest is history. Who knows, blackberry will do phoenix. Blackberry is Canukistanis prides; they won’t let it go for sure.

I hope they dont release this phone here. Why not? Because it will flop big big time.

So long BB. You will not be missed.

Blackberry is the default smartphones of the rich and famous in North America. Iyan ang nakikita ko lagi kapag namamasyal kami ng amo ko sa Hollywood California, lalo sa may Rodeo Drive. Iyan din smartphone ni Obama. Ang iphones sa America prang cherry mobile dito, freebies. If you got what I mean lang nman. Pero ang amo ko ay may vertu ti din.

Former Z10 user here, I think BB is designed for professional businessmen not for a student like me kaya I let go and buy an iphone, first is wala sila masyadong popular social appps like viber,line,kakao etc. Bec pinu push nila ang bbm as primary medium of communication thou I think minus eto for future consumers bec most of us gusto naten app oriented ang phone naten diba? BB10 is promising seriusly! You should try before commenting and if di nyo nagustuhan let it go actually its not the OS it is the applications na wala sila na hinahanap naten but again bb is designed for businessman not the youth like us.

Still Satisfied with Blackberry Performance. That’s why I always use my Z10 rather my iPhone
