BlackBerry 10.2 OS is the defining feature here, upgradable to 10.2.1, and it runs on a dual-core 1.7 GHz Krait Snapdragon chipset paired with 2 GB RAM. That's modest by today's standards but was solid for its time. The 5.0-inch Super AMOLED screen at 720 x 1280 gives decent sharpness at around 294 ppi, and storage sits at 16 GB with microSD support up to 64 GB if you need more room.

The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with autofocus and LED flash, capable of 1080p video with stabilization. Front camera is a basic 2 MP for video calls. Battery capacity is 2880 mAh, which was generous for a 5-inch phone in its day and helps offset the lack of newer power-saving software.

BlackBerry Z30 price in Malaysia starts from RM1014. It's a Black-only device with NFC, GPS with GLONASS, and stereo speakers, aimed at buyers who specifically want the BlackBerry OS experience rather than Android or iOS.
