BlackBerry Z30 Smartphone (12.7 cm (5 inch) AMOLED touchscreen, 8 megapixel camera, 2GB RAM, 16GB memory) Black (Wireless Phone)

Customer Review

The BlackBerry Z30 I got myself as an alternative to the iPhone 5S, iPhone 5s before I owned the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 3GS.

The advertised battery life of 2 business days by, I can not agree with me comes one day but with enough residual battery life (25-30%) for the same use as the iPhone 5S.

The display is really very good size, the sharpness will do just fine. The BB OS 10.2 runs very smoothly and smooth as Apple's iOS, which is very important to me.
Safety factor I feel very well taken care of the BlackBerry. You can leave the internal memory from the OS from the memory card to encrypt and the same with if you want to. The access to the data via USB cable, wireless or otherwise carried only by entering a user name and password if you want the one that I highly praise.

Android apps can also use it, not all smoothly, maybe, but Spotify, Minecraft Pocket and some others go flawlessly.

Games like Real Racing 3 look really great and not stutter a bit, since BB has just managed fine as the Apple software and hardware combination. As can manufacturers like Samsung, LG and so on a leaf, what happens when one too many different smartphone types throws on the market.
The reception is very good, better than the iPhone, no matter which model, the Z30 is apparently even almost regardless of whether Bluetooth is on or not, it hardly draws battery power.

The "hub", the message management I'll call it, is really awesome. Whether a Wahtsapp received message, an email, or someone has left a comment on your post on Facebook, you can answer it without these apps have to be opened directly, the applications you perhaps had open immediately, continue to run in the background they will not pause or otherwise, which I find very well done and the OS does not break a.

The video quality is state of affairs and the boxes from the Z30 are top notch, you can correct the tear and sound for the whole apartment.
The app selection from the BB World is perfectly adequate, some apps integrate so much that we can tell you that on incoming calls the calls can be recorded automatically, you have not even launch the app separately.

So who is looking for a good alternative, I can recommend the BlackBerry Z30.

Update 06:09:14

Battery performance I could increase but after some Find. If you runterschraubt the email update (1x per day) or at best can provide email accounts to push LTE and leaves off the Z30 good two days now holds through yet. Pluggable morning at 4.30 clock and evening by 20 clock are still about 60% left. 2h Bluetooth connection to 2 devices simultaneously. Whatsapp, Facebook, Browser, 20-30min navigation with BlackBerry Maps and general play around with it. Class.

Book Travel also go wonderfully with it and also automatically integrated into the Blackberry Travel App where you therefore everything always has to search.

A disadvantage, however, I noticed, you worried a protective cover, there a lot to me on the asphalt, and the plastic housing is very soft and sensitive, and it had strong scores. The cover at the back you can change but the edge is quickly broken. The display on the front panel has gotten no single scratch, thanks to Gorilla Glass.

Well finally! Rank: 5/5
