BlackBerry Z3 Launched In India For Rs 15,990
BlackBerry has launched its Z3 smartphone in India. The smartphone carries the price tag of Rs 15,990 and is the most affordable BlackBerry 10 mobile phone.
The BlackBerry Z3 was introduced at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014, following which it went on sale in Indonesia. BlackBerry Z3 features a 5-inch display and comes with BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.2.1. It is the first device made under the Foxconn-BlackBerry partnership.
BlackBerry Z3 has a dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 along with 1.5GB of RAM. It has an 8GB of internal storage, which can be expanded by up to 32 GB via microSD. The smartphone packs in a 2,500mAh. For camera, BlackBerry Z3 comes with a 5MP rear camera and a 1.1 MP front-facing camera. The BlackBerry Z3 includes a built-in FM radio.
This smartphone comes with the BlackBerry Priority Hub, BBM, BlackBerry Keyboard, and BlackBerry 10 browser.
The new BlackBerry Z3 smartphone is available for pre-booking with The MobileStore, Flipkart, and all BlackBerry Exclusive stores from June 25th to July 2nd.
In addition to the device, BlackBerry has also launched its BlackBerry Maps in India and they are also available on the BlackBerry Z3.
“The new BlackBerry Z3 offers consumer engaging user experience with all the features of BlackBerry 10 combined in one powerful smartphone. The BlackBerry Z3 is also the first smartphone to be introduced from our strategic partnership with Foxconn and it further strengthens our commitment to enhance our devices portfolio,” said Sunil Lalvani, Managing Director for India at BlackBerry. “BlackBerry Z3 is the ultimate smartphone that gives users more ways to connect, share and communicate, providing the best tool for secure, reliable communications and collaboration with friends, family and co-workers.”
We were hoping that the Canadian smartphone maker will launch the BlackBerry Z3 for around Rs 12,000, which we think would have been a great price for this 5-inch smartphone. However, the MRP of this smartphone is Rs. 15,990.
