BlackBerry Z3 price in Malaysia starts from RM699, putting it firmly in budget territory even by the standards of its 2014 release. It runs BlackBerry 10.2.1 OS, which means a different app experience from the Android and iOS phones you'll usually be comparing it against. Under the hood is a dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 chipset paired with 1.5GB RAM, enough for basic tasks but not built for anything demanding. The 5-inch display runs at 540 x 960 resolution, working out to roughly 220 ppi.

Camera-wise, you get a 5MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus a 1.1MP front camera for video calls at 720p. Storage sits at 8GB internally, though a microSD slot lets you add up to 32GB more.

The 2500 mAh battery is non-removable, and the phone weighs in at 164g with a 9.3mm profile. NFC, GPS and Wi-Fi hotspot support round out the connectivity, useful extras for a phone at this price point.
