Mobile fanatics in India seem to go after the all-new Blackberry Z3 as retailers report that the initial stock has been quickly sold out in just a span of two weeks.
Its display and hardware is not that impressive: Z3 has only a 5" QHD display rendering a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, with a density of 220 ppi, a 1.2GHz Dual-Core CPU and 1.5GB of RAM running on the BlackBerry 10.2.1 OS.
However, it has its fair share of unique content and apps that are customizable on a modern 5 inch display and a battery that is very durable:
Blackberry Hub
The Blackberry Hub is a one-stop shop that allows users to access their personal and work emails as well as BBM and social media notifications and updates. Users can check the Hub anytime or wherever they are. The Blackberry Z3 Hub is customizable such that you can filter message lists by certain criteria which you activate by using a pinch gesture. It also allows you to identify priority messages instantly.
Blackberry Keyboard
The Blackberry keyboard makes it user's life a lot easier as it stores all the words that are used quite often and the manner in which they are used. It helps users type more accurately and faster by simply suggesting the words. The Blackberry Z3 keyboard has a multi-language support that allows you to type using three different languages.
Time Shift and Story Maker
Perhaps the most used feature, Z3's time shift camera allows users to capture group shots when everyone has a broad smile and their eyes open. The story maker can be used to bring a collection of videos and photos together, along with effects and music, such that you produce an HD movie that can be shared on YouTube.
Blackberry 10 Browser
This browser is extraordinarily fast, with receptive zooming and scrolling. The browser has a number of advanced features that allow you to privately browse websites and open multiple tabs. It also has a reader mode and makes it very easy to share content. It even allows you to save a web page and view it later.
Instant Previews and Reply Now
E-mail messages, SMS and BBM all in real-time? You will never miss important messages again! Instant previews makes it all the more better while running other tasks. You can swipe to the Blackberry Hub to respond to the messages, or even reply to the messages in any app. When you get a call that you cannot answer at that moment, you can put the call in silent mode instantly, and send a response through email, BBM or SMS, telling the caller that you are busy and cannot respond to their call at the moment.
Lastly, It has 5MP rear camera (LED flash and autofocus) and a 2500 mAh battery capacity.
The Blackberry Z3 can be ordered from welectronics.com priced at $300. What do you think of this budget phone? Sound off in the comments section below!
