BlackBerry Z10 price slashed to Rs. 29,999 in India

When BlackBerry announced the pricing for its flagship, the Z10 in India back in February, the staggering pricing received a lot of criticism.

However, BlackBerry seems to have finally sweetened the deal, by bringing the Z10's price tag down to Rs. 29,999. The device is now available at a new price of Rs. 29,999 at Flipkart which is about Rs. 13,491 less when compared to the launch price of BlackBerry Z10 which was Rs. 43,490. The BlackBerry Z10 is also available at Snapdeal for even more discounted price of Rs. 29,636.

However, the price cut has not been officially confirmed by the Canadian handset maker, but we assume that with this, the company is simply preparing the ground for the launch of its latest phablet, the BlackBerry Z30, which was recently unveiled.


The BlackBerry Z10 is the first phone-based on the BlackBerry 10 platform. The device is powered by a dual-core processor that is clocked at 1.5GHz along with 2GB of RAM. The inbuilt storage available on the smartphone is 16GB. It has an 8-megapixel rear camera that can capture 1080p videos and 2-megapixel camera in the front. The Z10 comes with an 1,850mAh battery, which as per the company claims gives 10 hours of talktime and 312 hours of standby time.


Meanwhile, the company launched the BlackBerry Z30 which is now the biggest smartphone in BlackBerry's portfolio and can be called the first phablet from the Canadian manufacturer. In terms of display it comes with a 5-inch Super AMOLED display with 720x1280 pixels resolution, translating to a pixel density of 294ppi. It is powered by a 1.7GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor with Adreno 320. The new phablet runs BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.2, which includes refinements and new features when compared to the BlackBerry Z10.
