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.
  • Running on BlackBerry OS 6.1, the software experience is tailored for productivity, though it may feel dated compared to modern platforms.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The absence of stereo speakers is notable, but it does include a headphone jack.
  • Overall, the BlackBerry Storm3 is designed for users who prioritize basic functionality and a straightforward interface.
