BlackBerry Z30 has been officially announced

News from the wire this morning is that the BlackBerry Z30 has been officially announced after weeks of leaks from various sources. Packing a 5-inch super AMOLED screen, the biggest BlackBerry has ever produced, it also features the largest capacity battery at 2880 maH capable of 25 hours of use. The Z30 also features a 1.7GHz processor and quad core graphics.

"It's our biggest, largest, most advanced smartphone to date on the BlackBerry 10 platform,"said Vivec Bhardwaj, head of software portfolios at BlackBerry. 

With the Z30, BlackBerry is aiming at the increasingly popular larger handset market. It joins Samsung's Galaxy Note II, Sony's Xperia Z Ultra and HTC's ONE max which are all competing in the supersized smartphone market.

"Some of the latest features that come with that are features like theBlackBerry Priority Hub, so you're able to actually organize your messages now by intelligently recognizing who the most important people are, the most important conversations," said Bhardwaj in a statement to the CBC.

While no pricing and release date has been given for Canada, The Z30 will be available in stores in the U.K. and the Middle East starting next week. The Z30 joins the Z10, Q10 and Q5 as  2013's BlackBerry smartphone portfolio.

BlackBerry Z30 "Aristo" earmarked for Bell Mobility

BlackBerry's large 5-inch display toting handset, the Z30, is slated for release in Canada under Bell Mobility. The Z30 is the flagship device that puts BB10 OS at the disposal of a 1.7GHz dual-core processor, 16GB storage (expandable), 2GB of RAM, 8 megapixel camera and a whopping  2,880 mAh battery. The BlackBerry "Aristo" Z30/A10 is the biggest handset BlackBerry has ever made and one that's betting on the popularity of the phablet smartphone sub-genre which has been dominated largely by Samsung. Aside from the new Galaxy Note 3 and the Samsung Galaxy Mega, the BlackBerry Z30 will have to duke it out with the likes of the Sony Xperia Z Ultra, the HTC One Max and the Nokia Lumia 1520 which are all supersized smartphone joining the phablet fray. But for BlackBerry users, the Z30 will be the only game in town.

BlackBerry A10 flagship smartphone detailed in video

The BlackBerry A10 'Aristo' has been rumoured, leaked and now immortalized in video thanks to  Vivix phụ kiện. Since the now discounted (at least in the US) Z10's specs were largely of the 2012 vintage year, many are hoping that the A10 will be more competitive with today's crop of superphones when it comes to market in November. What is evident from the video is the larger, possibly 5-inch screen, as well more fluid and responsive BB10 OS experience thanks to the purported quad core GPU. This is exciting and I can't wait to see one in person.
