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.
