BlackBerry Z3 Review: Battery Life and Verdict

The BlackBerry Z3 comes with a non-removable 2500mAh battery. While some may grumble saying the battery isn't able to hold up to what's expected from it, but for us, it held up pretty well with massive usage associated to it.

The 2500 mAh battery unit inside offers good battery life. For us, it lasted for more than a day with average to mix usage use. In fact, with even a day gone, we still had about 30 pct left on the battery to at least start off the say.

But if you still think the device's battery could have been better, you could attain even more if you just lower the screen's brightness. This actually improves the battery life for better. In case you are a heavy user and rely a lot on the handset for checking most of your stuff, do try reducing the brightness for added juice.

As far as a verdict for the handset is concerned, at a price tag of Rs. 15,990, the BlackBerry Z3 seems a bit overpriced when compared to a host of Android smartphones that offer similar specifications in the same price range.

For that price, however, the Z3 offers a great build quality, with decent display and a manageable battery offering. Apart from that, it also hold the ability to run a few Android apps. On a finishing note, we have to say that it's a decent smartphone and quite the catch for the remaining few BlackBerry loyalists.
