Z30 Or S4? by Nobody: 2:47pm On Nov 23, 2014
I have been been facing this problem of indecision for a while.

The s4 beats the z30 in all ramifications, and due to the drastic fall in price of the s4, they are now around the same price.

Also the z30 has a cheaper data sub( glo 3 gig for 1k), I need advice on which to pick.

Please share your views, thank you.

If you have no hurt feelings with budget and expenditures then run to s4.

For me..., smart phones are useless if u can't access internet frequently...., z30 is a gud phone nd it runs necessary andriod apks. Since u r considering data sub rates...,go for z30.

come to sub you can still use your s4 to subscribe to bb plans by changing your imei to blackberry imei through an application called mobile uncle.
Sorry I fail to see reasons with your points.

mobile uncle cannot change the imei. Samsung isn't an mtk phone.

The chipset is qualcomm snapdragon not mediatek.

. I said necessary android apps. Nd to create. Doc documents (ms word) u need third party app to do that
Nd the predictive text of BlackBerry 10.e is d best in d world. Even Wikipedia nd samsung ceo admits it. Nd d s4 only has aautocorrect
Nd changing ur imei is illegal




A BlackBerry can separate ur work nd personal accts. U can check /read notifs from any app while using it @ d same time
I can Gv d s4 advantage over the usage of d front camera to tell if u r looking @ d screen
A BlackBerry can neva crash nnd changing ur imei or rooting ur fone can cause it to crash. Or u can end up getting a virus

A BlackBerry never has a virus. After 8 months ur s4 will start launching via safe mode till it dies
BlackBerry natural sound improves ur reception. Nd to mention d z30 has 2 antennas which is useful for nigerian networks
on BlackBerry z30 can video call /voice call nd screen share. Just like screen grabbing but in a video form and real time. E u can be in us and from ur fone u can watch me type this article in a video form from the screen of ur fone real time

The styling of the Z30 is actually a vast improvement over the Z10, the Z30 has the best network coverage. BB OS10.2 has some drastic changes and improvements. With USB host, I connected a mouse, keyboard and pen drive to it.

The Z30 has a powerful battery under the back cover, rated at 2880mAh and advertised as handling up to 25 hours of normal use, with moderate usage, battery lasts about 2 and a half days.

If you love taking selfies with a very camera which gives crisp crystal pictures, or you want to play heavy HD 3D games, s4 is for you....

But if you want a phone that gives necessary functions, with a bit of class and respect, the 730 is for you. The uniqueness of the BB10 series gives it that cutting edge feeling of standing out where all sorts of android phones have dominated the market

the manufacturer set a limit for a reason. It ain't wise to go around tweaking your phone

@op if ur main aim in mobile smartphone is just for browsing(cheap data bundle) then go for z30,if it is not for it,then go for s4
Re: Z30 Or S4? by Bosun13: 10:42pm On Nov 23, 2014
No need to change imie on z30. Evr since I'm using z30 av stop switching off my data unlike s4. If u buy s4 newly u can enjoy its lagless for up to 6month but aftr 6month be expecting lagging and hanging or u mistakenly upgarde ur s4 ur battery go dey rundown like usain bolt . Try and google gsm arena and u ll see pples who av used both review and complain then u ll get wht am saying. Buy for now

s4 doesn't lag. s4 still among the list of top ten best phone in the whole world. z30 is not even among top 20. Blackberry is dead and gone it should never be compared to an s3 talk more of an s4. Go watch YouTube reviews and compare and get your choice.

my thoughts exactly. I'm using a z10 at the moment, changing to z30 is gonna seem like I'm holding a bigger version with better battery life.

Give me a few tips on the cheap data you mentioned.
