BlackBerry today announced the Leap, a new smartphone with standard slab touch screen form factor.
It’s much like the Z10 that launched BlackBerry 10, but with a larger 5-inch, 720p HD display. It includes LTE, an 8-megapixel main camera, 2-megapixel front camera, memory card slot, and a 2,800 mAh sealed battery.
It’s powered by an older Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 processor, running at 1.5 GHz. It will include the Amazon Appstore for compatible Android apps. It’s running BlackBerry 10.3.1 and will cost $275. It will come to Europe, initially.
