BlackBerry may have put emphasis on its traditional design in the current path to recovery but its latest mid-range offering is an all-touchscreen phone called the Leap. The new device comes with a blockish design, similar to the Z3.
The display stands at a generous 5” with 720p resolution, which runs the latest OS v10.3.1.
Underneath, you get a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus processor straight from 2012. We really would’ve like (and expected) something like a Snapdragon 415 in this range. That’s coupled with 2 GB worth RAM and 16 GB internal expandable storage.
At the back lies an 8 mp camera capable of 1080p video and 5x zoom. A 2mp camera is found at the front too. Connectivity options include Bluetooth 4.0 LE and 4G LTE. A 2,800 mAh battery completes the package.
The phone will cost $275. For that price, the competition is really serious and we don’t really think the dual-core S4 Plus processor with really cut it today. Especially since its several years old now.

Blackberry’s dual core is still better than samsung’s quad cores.
