BlackBerry launches new mid-range phone Leap

BlackBerry launches new mid-range phone Leap







BlackBerry also attended the Mobile World Congress, which has presented Leap a mid-range device, which will be inside with the BlackBerry 10 system. Gone are the classic phones with QWERTY keyboard, which distinguished the company from its rivals. BlackBerry has long had in its catalog touchscreen devices intended for an increasingly professional audience. The truth is that no Leap boasts good price. No, if we consider that the market currently is no similar devices to a much lower cost. The firm has announced that it will sell for about 250 euros about to change.


 Blackberry Leap still riding a polycarbonate shell and has an austere but elegant design, quite similar to the BlackBerry Z3, presented just a year ago in the same conference. Monta a screen the same size but the Canadian company has increased somewhat solving it. So, we have a panel of 5 inches and resolution HD. In terms of dimensions, they are almost equal to those of another model, although it is a little thicker. While the BlackBerry Z3 9.3 million has thick, the new BlackBerry Leap rises up to 9.5mm width. Its weight is somewhat longer, 170 grams.

 Inside we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor dual-core, the MSM8960, running at 1.5 GHz. This SoC is accompanied by 2GB of RAM. Not a processor that is characterized by its great performance, but BlackBerry has done its homework in this field and has improved its new terminal with this chip. With regard to internal storage, the BlackBerry Leap has 16GB, which can be expanded using microSD cards up to 128GB. For their part, photography lovers will not have too many problems, as their main camera mounts an 8 megapixel sensor with autofocus and LED flash. For a mid-range phone is not bad. Yes, the regulars at the selfies will not be so happy, as its secondary camera is only 2 megapixels and also has no autofocus.


 The Canadian did not make its new device runs out equated to that already have high-speed connections. It is, therefore, a 4G device in which we also find, as no WiFi, free. We are not facing what is said one of the best devices of the moment, but BlackBerry has thought that might be a great candidate to compete with some of the encompassing the current mid-range market. Perhaps its price it runs preventing, but nobody will tell BlackBerry that has not tried. At first hit emerging markets: Brazil and Indonesia, but is expected to Europe for the month of April. That’s when we can give a more accurate assessment of the terminal and see how it behaves with BlackBerry 10 in her womb, a system that now cannot even remotely compete with iOS or Android.
