The BlackBerry Z3 released in May and more recently the smartphone launched for the market in India. This is a budget phone produced from a collaboration by BlackBerry and Foxconn, and today we have a BlackBerry Z3 review on video to share that will be useful if you are considering buying this handset.
We’ve already shown readers in initial video look at the phone and also an official BlackBerry video promo for the Z3. Now it’s time for a more rounded review of the phone, but before you take a look we’ll refresh you on some of the key specs.
The BlackBerry Z3 is powered by a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 dual-core processor, has Adreno 305 graphics, a 5-inch display with resolution of 960 x 540, 1.5GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage (expandable). It has a 5-megapixel rear camera and 2500 mAh battery, and runs the BlackBerry 10.2.1 operating system.
The YouTube video beneath our article today comes from 91mobiles and will give you a good idea of whether this is the right device for you. It starts with a look at the design and a hardware tour before going on to cover many other aspects of the BlackBerry Z3. These include the camera (with sample images), user interface and support for Android apps, battery life, price and more.
The price is thought to be slightly high for what it offers, and towards the end of the video some alternatives are mentioned including the Asus Zenfone 5 and the Xiaomi Mi3. These are competitively priced and more exciting in the way of specs. Despite this the some key strengths of the BlackBerry Z3 are mentioned at the conclusion, including the benefit of the BlackBerry Hub feature.

For sure i will take the Z3. Do you think I want to compromise my security with the Zenfone 5 or Xiaomi Mi3. I have heard that the Chinese phones have dormant malware installed on the phones.
You are right I have just read what you said and it is true, a lot of chinese’ phones come with malware preinstalled and it cannot be deleted since it is embedded with the software itself, they can steal all your personal information including credit cards, I choose security: I take the Z3.
Android is just full of viruses and malware, too bad many people don’t care about this big problem.
