BlackBerry (yes, they’re still at it) has recently concluded
its keynote at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona where it announced its latest
handset – the BlackBerry Leap.
The Leap has a 5-inch HD display with a screen density of
294ppi and goes with a Snapdragon S4 Plus chip with a 1.5GHz dual-core
processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage. There’s also an 8MP
autofocus camera at the back with LED flash and is capable of recording Full HD
videos at 30 frames per second.
The phone will be available starting next month for $275 off
contract. The Canadian phone maker also announced several new color options for
its Classic
handset including blue, bronze and white on top of the base color black.

Now, before you dismiss the company’s efforts this year, the
company did show one last model that actually made a lot of people interested.
Dubbed as the “Slider”, the phone was shown at the last part of the keynote and
serves as teaser for future generation BB devices.
