BlackBerry Leap

Once the giants of the smartphone world, BlackBerry has run into difficult times. The rise of Android and iOS coupled with a lack of enough innovation and inability to keep the pace with the growing demands of the personal electronics market has been the reason why BlackBerry has become bit of a forgotten legend. What you cannot blame BlackBerry for is the lack of efforts and trying. The move to develop BlackBerry OS 10 from the ground was a big step in trying to modernise everything that was dated with the older BB OS. The BlackBerry Leap is a device that follows the likes of the BlackBerry Z10, Q10 and Q5 as a part of the BlackBerry OS 10 lineup. Released in April 2015, the device is one of the last devices to run BlackBerry OS 10 along with the BlackBerry Passport before BlackBerry goes the route of experimenting with Android on the BlackBerry Priv. The specifications of the device includes:

• The phone features a 5 inch 720P display which gives the phone a pixel density of 294 PPI. In its class of around Rs 20,000 budget phones, you have devices like the OnePlus One, which have a higher pixel density.
  
• Blackberry Leap is powered by a slightly aged Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 Plus chipset which features a Dual Core CPU.
  
• You get 2 GB of RAM on the BlackBerry Leap and 16 GB of internal memory. There is an expansion slot for a Micro SD card.
  
• The Rear camera is 8 MegaPixel while the front facing shooter features a 2 MP sensor.
  
• The Battery on the BlackBerry Leap is a non-removable Li-Ion 2800 mAh unit.
  
• On the software side, the Leap runs BlackBerry OS 10.3.1 out of the box.
