MORE MATERIALS ON THE NEW VERSION OF THE SITE. Now it is convenient to read from mobile phones! It's no secret that Blackberry is in a very feverish state and the company has started buying back its own shares in order to leave the exchange and not depend on investors. It can give you a break to collect your thoughts and figure out what to do. At the same time, the issue of Blackberry leaving the consumer market has already been resolved, the company decided to develop a corporate direction in which it still has clients. The drop in sales, the unpopularity of the new Blackberry 10 operating system, a sharp drop in the cost of the Z10, the first device based on this OS - all together paint a not too rosy picture of the company's future. In these conditions, Blackberry could have two ways - to abandon the release of deliberately niche products and try to create a miracle, a device that could compete with the best solutions of other companies, or not change anything and try to sell its solutions to a loyal audience, which is gradually disappe Archive: BlackBerry Z30 16 GB Black aring. as transplanted to iOS / Android. For various reasons, Blackberry stopped on the second path: the Z30 model is de facto the same Z10 with slightly changed characteristics, an enlarged screen. There are no other fundamental differences from the previous model. Of course, the company's fans may exclaim that Blackberry OS 10.2 is there, but this update is available for other devices, especially since it does not bring anything new. If the release of the Z10 model became a promise that the company will return to the smartphone market and play an active role in it (more on this in the Z10 review), then the Z30 becomes a statement of fact - the return failed, and therefore the company is trying to record vanishingly small sales. In any way. Desirable in the cheapest way. Who might be interested in the Z30? In my opinion, these should be convinced fans of the Blackberry brand, who will buy its products until the last moment. There are not so many of them in the world. From the point of view of choosing a model in the Blackberry lineup, the Z10 will be a big competitor to this device, since its cost is already about 10-11 thousand rubles (200-250 dollars in the USA). This is almost half the price of the Z30, which means that this model will fall in price within a few months. A fairly typical situation for manufacturers experiencing problems - their products drop out of the market and begin to compete not with other manufacturers, but with themselves. Unlike the Z10, this model is initially produced in only one color scheme - a black back, a white metal outline in the lower part of the case, and the same side edges. The absence of the traditional white color can be interpreted as an understanding in the company that the sales volume will not be large. However, the release of the white model is also planned, but the timing of its appearance is not named, most likely, it will be released before the New Year holidays. The phone measures 140.7x72x9.4 mm and weighs 170 grams. The first impression when you take the device in hand is weight, which you would not expect from such a model. There are no materials in it that could weigh that much and create such a feeling. There are plenty of 5-inch smartphones on the market that show less weight with similar batteries. In comparison, the Galaxy Note 3 weighs slightly less than the Z30, although it has a larger screen and a larger battery. The question is in the cost of components, and here in Blackberry they continue to save in the most severe way, installing components that are by no means the latest generation, but those that are cheaper. The top end of the device houses an on / off button and a 3.5 headset jack. On the left side there is a microHDMI connector and next to it is a microUSB connector for a charger. On the right side there is a paired volume control key, in the middle there is a voice command button. An 8MP lens and LED flash are visible on the back cover. The back cover is made of carbon-like plastic, looks pretty good, has a matte finish. The screen is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 - from edge to edge, there are no sides. The most controversial point was the silver side edging - many considered it metallic, but the first users who scratched it, as well as the lower part of the case, can already say with confidence that it is plastic. The LED indicator was brought out to the front surface, it is located to the right of t https://jiji.com.gh/achimota/mobile-phones/blackberry-z30-16-gb-black-8MuPQKeHJwMAe8450pJjgrOH.html
