BlackBerry today has announced that the Leap will be making its way to India on May 12th. The BlackBerry Leap was unveiled at MWC 2015, and comes with BlackBerry OS 10.3.1 running on a 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 with 2 GB RAM, 16 GB expandable storage and 5-inch 720p HD display.
Even though BlackBerry has been losing favor from top executives who are instead opting for high-end Samsung smartphones with KNOX security built-in or the Apple iPhone, the company is aiming the BlackBerry Leap towards mid-level execs. It comes with a 8 MP rear and 2 MP front camera for video calls.
