BlackBerry Classic Review
BlackBerry Classic
BlackBerry Classic
After coming to 0.5% market share in global smartphone shipments,BlackBerry needed an miracle to hit the market again so they used there old phenomena making phones that are business friendly,phones with full QWERTY and high security features.The BlackBerry Classic, as its name suggests, is a return to the old formula that made BlackBerries successful in the first place.he BlackBerry Classic couples a comfortable, accurate keyboard with an attractive design thats sure to please BlackBerry fans. Support for Android apps will please the rest of us, too. It’s got a 3.5-inch square screen, a hardware keyboard, and no apologies whatsoever. At Rs.31000 INR off contract, it’s a mid-tier smartphone that isn’t really trying to vie for supremacy. It’s built for die-hard CrackBerry addicts still desperately clutching their personal messaging devices.The phone I think is priced to high,anyways lets get to our review.
Our Review
The rear panel is not removable and the battery is not accessible.Thats the only thing I would like to say about its design everything is almost the same.The phone looks a little to modern to meet the generation and also very slim.Over all feels great in hands.Screen resolution is against the cons of this phone as it does not give resultions as the phones in this price bracket offer.On the inside, BlackBerry has gone with a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8960 processor, the Snapdragon S4 Plus, which is now several years old.But being used in Blackberry this processor is enough to handle applications without lags.Theres 2GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in storage, though micro-SD cards of up to 128GB are supported. The battery has a 2,515mAh capacity. Wi-Fi b/g/n is supported along with Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, NFC and even FM radio. BlackBerry states that LTE will work on Indian bands. The rear camera has an 8-megapixel sensor while the one on the front is 2 megapixels.The cameras also does not perform good and feels like old times.In short,if I have to buy this phone I will never,BlackBerry has concentrated upon there fans this time and can be a good factor for them in this price tag.
