In our use, the phone lasted us a full day (12-14 hours) with medium to high usage. It has a 2500mAh battery, which the company claims offers up to 15.5 hours talk time and up to 16.2 days of standby time. The smartphone comes with 8GB storage and a microSD card slot that supports cards up to 32GB.

Android apps, including Instagram, Shazam and TuneIn Radio take time to load and switching between them is also not very smooth. Since the apps are running over a special runtime, performance is not at par with native BlackBerry 10 apps. We downloaded the Amazon Appstore and a couple of Android apps through it. Perhaps, this reduction is to prevent the phone from slowing down. BlackBerry Z10 and Z30 phones support 8 open apps. This means users can only run 4 apps at a time in the background. However, the active pane only supports 4 apps. We did not face any issues while navigating through the home screens between the hub, active pane and app panel, and launching and switching between apps. Hardware & performance BlackBerry Z3 is powered by a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (MSM8230) dual-core processor and 1.5GB RAM.

Z3 will receive the BlackBerry 10.3 OS update in September-October following which Blackberry will start bundling Amazon Appstore to download Android apps. As a BlackBerry user, you just don't miss out on your favourite apps (Instagram, Zite, Flipboard and the likes), but the experience is not as good. To be honest, BlackBerry Z3 is no substitute for an Android phone. Android apps that make use of the phone's hardware or accessories (Bluetooth headset, Camera) also don't function as smoothly as they would on an Android phone. You can hide the UI elements of the player, but then you may face difficulty in navigating through some apps. These run inside an app player that features a back button. Android apps, barring the ones that rely on Google services or Amazon services, run fine albeit with some lag. In fact it's very handy for Hindi as it saves you from searching for matras and halants. It works well for Hinglish (Hindi in roman script) and Hindi. You can choose between 'In-letter' and 'In-Column' styles to get predictions on letters or on a column above the keyboard. It is a predictive keyboard that adapts to the user's typing style and offers intuitive suggestions as you type. The BlackBerry 10 keyboard is one of the best soft keyboards we've used. BlackBerry Messenger and WhatsApp can run as stand-alone apps and even through the hub. There's an app shortcut for Text messages that takes you to the hub.

Interestingly, there is no dedicated app for email. You can add all your social networking accounts including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Foursquare to the hub. We like the interface, especially the hub which makes managing multiple email and messaging accounts very easy. The hub stores all sorts of messages and notifications the active pane shows the last accessed apps (4 in number) in widgetized format, offering glanceable information and the app list features icons for all installed apps. The UI is essentially divided into the hub, active pane and app panel. Having said that, it does have a learning curve, especially if you're used to Android, Windows Phone or iOS devices that come with dedicated Home buttons.

BlackBerry Z3's big screen complements the software and makes the experience fluid. The phone offers a tutorial app in addition to making users aware of these gestures at the time of setting up the phone. Similarly unlocking the screen is through a swipe up gesture. You minimise or exit apps by swiping up from the bottom and access additional settings by swiping down from top. The operating system relies on swipe gestures and doesn't come with online or hardware keys for navigation.

Yes, you can download APK (Android app installation) files from the web or install a third party Android app store such as Amazon Appstore or 1Mobile Market to install Android apps. The OS features the Priority Hub that highlights important interactions in one place, additional toggles and settings, and the ability to install Android apps, out of the box. Software BlackBerry Z3 runs BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.2.1, the latest iteration of the OS. Overall, the camera is not the strongest point of the device, a common issue with all BlackBberry devices.
