Great screen, Good battery life, Excellent multitasking, Nice camera in good light
Lacking in top-end power, App ecosystem lacks depth, Ugly and clunky design
I still really rather like BlackBerry 10 as it offers some neat tricks you simply won't find anywhere else, however, it's far from perfect with a fairly ugly UI and a less robust app ecosystem than its rivals. As far as touch-only BlackBerry 10 devices g...
I am undecided whether I like the BlackBerry Z30 to own or not, the lack of apps is really difficult to get past for me but there is the Sideloading function and that's just it for me, why should I sit there adding apps from another platform when they sh...
Better built than the Z10, BB10 security features are as robust as ever, good range of productivity services
Doesn't match similarly priced devices' specifications, camera is laggy, app offering is lacking
The Z30 retains all the strengths of BlackBerry, offering businesses a host of enhanced security services. However, it fails to address core problems within the ecosystem, like its lack of apps and offers at best comparable performance to other similarly ...

Fine screen, fast processor, BB10, decent camera, good battery life, cheaper than other premium handsets
App store understocked, swipebased interface is a bit quirky
The Z30 is in the zone to compete with the likes of Samsung's Galaxy S4 or Sony's Xperia Z and in terms of processing power, screen quality and style it certainly holds its own. The camera may not be quite as good as those two, but the considerably lowe...
The Z30 phablet is the best BlackBerry phone you can get, with killer battery life and excellent reception and call quality. But can it overcome the inferior app store or the uncertainty surrounding the company itself?...

Abstract: It can't be very helpful for a manufacturer to launch a new phone amid speculation that the device could be its last. With $1bn written off on its little-loved predecessor the Z10, and the future of BlackBerry so uncertain , the new Z30 has been given a ...
Impressive battery life; Android Jelly Bean app support; USB connection.
Dull design; Basic snapper functions; expensive.
With Android app support and some handy upgrades to the OS, the Z30 is taking BlackBerry in the right direction – but its price tag is too steep for what it offers...
Great battery life; Android Jelly Bean app support; USB host
Uninspired design; Basic camera functions; High price
The Blackberry Z30 answers many of the criticisms levelled at the Z10, helped by some useful upgrades in the operating system. Adding access to USB peripherals is incredibly useful for both business and media-obsessed users, while the ability to run Andro...

Big screen with good colours; Attractive design; Good battery life
Poorly stocked app store; Screen isn't very bright; Doesn't offer anything over Android rivals; BB10 software still has some annoying quirks
With its big, bold screen, the BlackBerry Z30 is the smart phone for you if you like watching movies, but refuse to leave BlackBerry. Its abysmally stocked app store, however, means you'd have a more pleasant experience overall looking at similarly sized ...
