BlackBerry Z30 video leaks online

The BlackBerry Z30 has appeared in a leaked hands-on video.
















The BlackBerry Z30 phablet has leaked online again, this time it’s a video showing some hands-on time with the device.
The footage comes from 4Leaksz! and it’s noteworthy because previous leaks have shown the device with AT&T branding, but this one is unbranded suggesting it could be the international model.
As per previous rumours and leaks, the BlackBerry Z30 looks like an enlarged BlackBerry Z10 with more rounded corners and uses the ‘Glass Weave’ back panel texturing seen on the BlackBerry Q10.
The BlackBerry Z30 is rumoured to have a 5-inch OLED display with a 720p resolution and a 1.7GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with an Adreno graphics processing unit (GPU). As well as a microUSB port we can spot a microHDMI port in the video too.
Earlier reports have claimed the BlackBerry Z30 will be the Canadian manufacturer’s most powerful handset to date and will be particularly capable when it comes to gaming. Previous rumours have pointed to an October launch date but of course nothing is official at this point.
BlackBerry’s future though is still uncertain. After months of rumours and company CEO Thorsten Heins dropping various hints, BlackBerry recently revealed it has assembled an internal committee to investigate ‘strategic alternatives’ which include possible mergers with other companies or even a full-blown sale. BlackBerry is also thought to still be considering the idea of licensing its BlackBerry 10 software to third party manufacturers in a similar model to Google’s Androidplatform.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on the BlackBerry Z30 and will be sure to bring you any more news as it emerges.
