BlackBerry Z30 smartphone unveiled

 The BlackBerry Z30 smartphone has a 5-inch Super Amoled display and runs on a 1.7 GHz processor with quad-core graphics that makes browsing web pages faster and games more detailed, the company said.
It runs version 10.2 of the BlackBerry 10 operating system, which includes many refinements to help users be more productive, according to the company.
The Z30's 2880 mAh battery is the largest ever built into a BlackBerry smartphone. Combined with the battery enhancements in BlackBerry 10.2, users can get up to 25 hours of mixed usage, including up to 18 hours of talk time.
Other features of BlackBerry 10.2 include a new BlackBerry Priority Hub that provides one place to manage conversations and notifications, and a refined version of BlackBerry Messenger, which offers a preview of any message when it arrives in whatever app is being used.
The Z30 also comes with stereo speakers and new antenna technology that dynamically tunes reception to provide better connectivity in low-signal areas.
“The new BlackBerry Z30 smartphone builds on the solid foundation and engaging user experience of the BlackBerry 10 platform with features like the powerful BlackBerry Hub, its exceptional touchscreen keyboard and industry leading browser,” said Carlo Chiarello, Executive Vice President for Products at BlackBerry.

“The smartphone is designed for people looking for a smartphone that excels at communications, messaging and productivity. Having apps like the full Documents To Go suite that comes preinstalled, together with its 5-inch touch display, the BlackBerry Z30 smartphone gives you a best in class productivity experience on the go.”
The BlackBerry Z30 smartphone will roll out from select carriers and retailers around the world beginning next week in the UK and Middle East. BlackBerry said that specific pricing and availability will be announced by partners at the time of their respective launches.
Carphone Warehouse concessions in Selfridges stores will reportedly be the first UK retailer to start selling the device on Friday 27th September, before it goes on sale across Carphone Warehouse stores nationwide on Monday 30th September.
The announcement comes just two days before the launch of Apple's iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c handsets.
Last month BlackBerry put itself up for sale in the hope a new owner might help it turn around its struggling smartphone business. It is also considering spinning off its popular messaging service BBM to form a new company, according to reports.
