BB Z-30 business smartphone

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

Customer Review

The Z-30 is a typical BlackBerry device with the emphasis on communication. This is also a reason why this special Z30 in many countries at authorities / police is used. USA / Australia / Canada / Europe and Asia. In the US, almost in every state.

The reason: exceptional reception and transmission strength, to stereo sound with 2 + 2 microphones / speakers. The Paratek / Parascan technology is particularly stable in areas where no good reception prevails (rural area).

A first-class virtual keyboard (onscreen keyboard) to the legendary BB hub, where all communication is managed.

The smartphone itself is perfectly finished, and I can not dust / dirt occurring during the successful processing.

Everything else, such as camera / video / media are generally not relevant for me as a businessman. There are other so-called consumer-phones!

How well this smart phone with the customers, for this smartphone is designed, you can see the class reviews the past months and years.

About Battery strength is idle to talk because this is highly dependent on how to work with the equipment daily. If, for. Ex. A LTE150MB / s Telekom tariff (like me), it misses the whole day so that data flows are huge, and the smartphone is evening sucked almost empty. And if you now an Aldi tariff has 8MB / s, then the battery lasts four days or so. So great are the differences here. But not only of BB, but on all smartphones! My Huawei Mate-7 (private) has a huge battery, also is with LTE100MB / s at Telekom empty soon ......

April 3, 2015 / Addendum:

After completion of the major updates of OS 10.2.xxx on 10.3.xxx I have now found that the quality of Updates has yet achieved different results in the BB devices. I can only compare the Z-30 Update with the Z-10 update, because I have both devices. When Z-10 I'm very disappointed because the colors - largely faded since the previous display luminosity - in my opinion. Apparently you have here the software adapted to a better battery has come out, but the brilliance is reduced from the display. In any case no longer like with the display of Z-10 now. I do not use the device now.

Something like that has at BB then already made it to the Q-10, to give the phone a better battery reduced to the transmitting / receiving strength at Q-10 in the UMTS field, because there, how then later in tests turned out (Connect and computer image), the Q-10 was particularly weak in the UMTS band.

Now back to the Z-30: Here I am thrilled to have the colors -in my opinion- demand gained considerable brilliance, the software and apps run impeccably, quickly and without stuttering. Although there are still noticing when calling an app delays of seconds, but I can neglect.

Short and to the point: the Z-30 has powerful benefits from the update 10.3.xxx, but the Z-10 is now disappointing.

Addendum on 27/05/2015:

Today I want to make an addendum shortly on the arrangement of microphones and loudspeakers at Z30, because I notice some reviews that these details are not entirely clear, but are important for communication (fe. Phone). For this is precisely the strength of this smartphone, because the emphasis is placed on transceiver quality and acoustics.

So:

There are 4 microphones in the Z30, including 2 pcs. under the volume rocker on the right (Noise Cancelling). 1 microphone is almost invisible at the bottom center on the edge of the display. And 1 microphone as combi part up above the display. Combined partly because here also a speaker is integrated. The microphones afford so-called composite work.

Therefore:

An impairment in microphone / speaker is virtually impossible, although this is often claimed by people (too low etc ...). But it may be that the finest dust particles are penetrated, or worse, the Z30 is fallen down. Because this could have damaged the main microphone under the display. A repair is then due (display must be removed).

The two main speakers (stereo) are located at the bottom of the Z30 back, and be up on the front above the display complemented by a loudspeaker in conjunction with a microphone. The stereo speakers are each 1 watt of power.

So overall:

4 Microphones
3 speakers

Next to this the excellent transceiver properties using the Paragon antenna technology supported by the Z30 back given the carbon-like honeycomb structure (Glass Weave).
