Comparisons Featuring BlackBerry Storm3

Short Review

  • The BlackBerry Storm3 features a compact design with a 3.7-inch TFT display that offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 252 ppi.
  • The build quality is solid, though specific materials and dimensions are not detailed.
  • Performance is driven by a 1.2GHz CPU paired with 512MB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, which supports basic multitasking.
  • The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while there is no front-facing camera.
  • The battery capacity stands at 1230mAh, but it lacks fast charging and wireless charging capabilities.
