The BlackBerry Z30 is the new flagship handset packing the latest version of the BlackBerry OS, 10.2, into a body that, like its predecessor, lacks a physical keyboard. It packs a 5-inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720. The Z30 includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro SoC and comes with a 1.7 GHz dual-core CPU and Adreno 320 GPU on-board.

Leave the continuing struggles of its parent company out of the picture, and the BlackBerry Z30 is a pretty good alternative to the iPhone or your many Android phones, particularly if you're looking for a device that's focused more on messaging and...
The BlackBerry Z30 is clearly a step up from the Z10. It is more pleasing to look at, and feels better to hold and use even though it's bigger. I wish the larger screen made similar improvements, but it doesn't quite hold up when compared to competing...
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...

If the BlackBerry Z30 had been released in place of the Z10 then the company might not be in so much trouble now, although realistically it could have done with landing at least six months before that to have had a real hope of arresting BlackBerry's...
