BlackBerry Z30 review

The big-screened BlackBerry Z30 shows off the new software at its best

Impressive big screen ; Nippy performance ; Stylish interface

Still not enough apps ; Highly priced given the specs ; Outgunned by rivals

BlackBerry Z30 review

BlackBerry goes big with the 5-inch Z30

Great battery life ; Unified messaging hub ; Premium feel ; Good web browsing

Poor navigation ; Lack of apps and games ; Wi-Fi issues ; Expensive

It's sad to think that this might be BlackBerry's last release because with the Z30 it has finally, belatedly, figured out how to make a really good touch screen smartphone. Unfortunately rivals worked the same thing out much more quickly, and their...

BlackBerry Z30 review

The BlackBerry Z30 arrives at a time when BlackBerry is in turmoil. Racking up losses, a question mark over who will end up owning the company and what the future holds, sees the BlackBerry Z30 launching into a storm. It's ironic, then, that the...

Design, build quality, feels lovely in the hand, slick and fast, good battery performance, nice improvements in BB10.2

Screen resolution should be higher at this price, the app ecosystem needs to be more advanced, native maps are way behind rivals, dark clouds hanging over BlackBerry's future and direction are difficult to ignore

The BlackBerry Z30 is the best Blackberry 10 model so far, bringing the benefits of a large display, plenty of power, a much imporved design compared to the Z10, and solid battery life that has seen us through the day.

BlackBerry Passport vs BlackBerry Z30 comparison review

No such problems with BlackBerry's previous flag-bearer. The Z30 can be picked up for around £250-£290 SIM free. That reflects its year-old provenance, but the Z30 is worth anyone's consideration as a high-end smartphone at a bargain price. For more on...

If you are looking to save money on a decent smartphone you could do a lot worse than the BlackBerry Z30. It is a decent 5in handset at a very good price. But if you want a BlackBerry that is truly fit for business, and you are able to spend on a full...

BlackBerry Z30 smartphone review

BlackBerry, the company formerly known as Research in Motion, had a rebrand around one year ago. It dropped the RIM name, so now the company is named after its handsets, starting with the long-awaited BlackBerry Z10 touchscreen phone. This also...

There isn't the app ecosystem of the big two competitors but we can see the BlackBerry Z30 as a useful compromise of the needs of businesses that rely on BlackBerry's security model, and users who'd like something with the touchscreen power of...

The Z30 is BlackBerry's new flagship smartphone. BlackBerry is famous for producing phones with Qwerty keyboards but the Z30 has a huge touchscreen display. Could it be the phone to turn round BlackBerry's ailing fortunes? We sent it to our lab to see...

Review: BlackBerry Z30

Feeling very much like the product the Z10 should have been, BlackBerry's new flagship Z30 isn't just the largest BlackBerry device we've seen and used but also the most refined in terms of software enhancements and user experience with BlackBerry OS...
