If theZ10looked something like Blackberry was try on to establish an iPhone written matter to house its BB10 platform , the just annunciate Z30 would be the BB10 Galaxy S4 or HTC One . After holding it for a few minutes , I ’m convinced it ’s something I would n’t beware holding for at least a few minutes more .
OK , so it ’s a phablet domain full of Galaxy Notes and Galaxy Megas , and by comparing , the Z30 ’s 5 - inch silver screen just is n’t that big . But Blackberry ’s clearly responding to the trend from enceinte speech sound , which is n’t a small deal considering how small Blackberrys tend to be . Here it is next to my Galaxy Nexus — the sizing feels totally natural .
I used the phone inside one of the ship’s company ’s new flip - binding sheath that actually replaces the removable back panel instead of going over it . But even with that extra bulk , the phone felt slight and sleek . Immediately , the Z30 ’s silver trim prompt me a bit of the HTC One , and 1280 x 720 screen radiates the conversant , saturated AMOLED color .
I have n’t used BB10 in a few months so it took me a second to recall all of the motion conventions , but once I ’d settled in , it was clear that the platform descale to larger screen easily . The phone ’s performance on the 1.7 GHz Snapdragon S4 guts was plenty snappy we flick between home screens and launching apps .
As we see with the Z10 to begin with this year , BB10 looks not bad from the outset , but its shortcomings only divulge themselves after some time . We ’ll have to hold sound judgment until we ’ve had a chance to feel out for failures . But even if it ’s amazing , the Z30 will be struggle a battle against the public perception that Blackberry is on its way out .
The speech sound will be available “ before the holidays”on Verizon , according to a Blackberry rep .
