The handset runs the latest version of the BlackBerry 10 OS and also includes 5 MP primary snapper with a 1.1 MP front-facing one. Surprisingly the device comes with 8 GB of storage and also includes a micro SD card slot. Powering all of the above is 2500 mAh battery, which according to big B delivers up to 15.5 hours of talk time and up to 16.2 days standby.

The Z3 will indeed compete with devices like the Nokia Lumia 630 and Motorola’s Moto G considering that it packs almost the same specifications.
