BlackBerry just launched the BlackBerry Leap smartphone in India. The company is yet to announce the pricing for the smartphone, which will start selling in India from Tuesday (May 12) onwards.

BlackBerry Z3 anyone? If you're a BB lover, this design would seem familiar to you.

The Leap is a little more rounded on the side than the BlackBerry Z3 was though.
This power button on the top could be a problem to some, but the overall size of the device makes it easy enough to reach.
The BlackBerry Leap is 9.5 mm thick and weighs 170 grams.
The device runs on the BlackBerry 10.3.1 OS.
Along with the BlackBerry Hub, the company has also added the BlackBerry Meetings feature, which allows you to setup conference calls quickly and easily. The only problem is that the processor doesn't allow things to be as seamless as you would want them to be.
The phone has an 8MP rear camera, which isn't anywhere close to other 8MP cameras in the market.
On the front is a 2MP snapper.
The display is nice though, although with a price expectation of around 15k, it's not nice enough.
The 2800 mAh battery should be good enough.
The BlackBerry Leap doesn't seem to be really competitive against other Android, or even Windows devices in the mark
