SlideShow: A look at BlackBerry Z30

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

We just spent almost two hours learning more about BlackBerry's latest BB10 flagship Z30 smartphone as well as the new BB10 10.2 OS that launches with the Z30 and which will be made available for the Z10, Q10 and Q5. The software just got smarter and more intuitive and the Z10's hardware design story is quite interesting as well. The 5-inch device features an AMOLED screen and is the largest BlackBerry yet but manages to work nicely for one handed use. The larger software keyboard of the Z30 is almost as efficient as the Q10 thanks to larger keys. Users of the Z30 will also get 25-hours of battery life on a single charge. Stay tuned for a full review as we put this big boy through its paces.
