One of the most popular entry-level phones offered by Research In Motion is the 9300. It allowed users to reply to emails, reply to SMS and chat on BBM without spending too much on the smartphone. Now, its successor, the Blackberry Curve 9360, will do the same. However, this new phone has one advantage over its predecessor. Let’s find out the advantages it has over the previous model.
When it comes to phone screens, the predecessor comes with a slightly larger screen. It comes with a 2.46-inch screen compared to 2.44-inches on its successor. However, there is a big difference when it comes to resolution. On the older model, you’ll have to settle for 320 x 240 pixels. In the newer model, you can enjoy a resolution of 480 x 360 pixels. This is a pixel density of 246 PPI compared to 163 PPI for its predecessor.
Another advantage that this new phone has over its previous version is a more powerful camera. The 9300 comes with a 2 megapixel camera. This will allow you to capture images on the go. However, a 2-megapixel count can only work so far. In the Blackberry Curve 9360, you can enjoy a 5 megapixel camera. This will allow you to enjoy more of high-resolution captured images and recorded VGA-quality video. This was possible in the previous version.
When it comes to performance, the new phone has more to offer. In the 9300, you’ll find 624MHz single-core processor packages under the hood. Unfortunately, this is no longer up to today’s standards. Typically, more affordable phones come with at least 800 MHz CPUs that can better cope with today’s applications that demand more of the system requirements. In the Blackberry Curve 9360, you’ll find 800 MHz single-core processor packages under the hood. Also, it has 512 MB of RAM compared to 256 MB of RAM in its predecessor. This will allow the smartphone to perform much better when it comes to running apps.
The last advantage this new smartphone has over its predecessor is its software. It comes pre-installed with the latest version of BB OS. This is the BB 7 operating system. This will allow you to enjoy a number of new features such as social feed integration and BBM app integration.
As you can see, the Blackberry Curve 9360 has a significant advantage over its predecessor, the 9300. With it, you can enjoy more without spending too much on a phone.
