BlackBerry Leap review

The newest all-touch BlackBerry maintains the status quo.

Were this an Android phone, it could be written off as an affordable handset that any budget-conscious user could make do with to stay connected. That doesn’t fly here, simply because this is a BlackBerry, a platform fewer and fewer people are using...

BlackBerry Leap review: an old phone with a fresh face

There are several things to like about the BlackBerry Leap, including its long battery life, surprisingly good camera and the productivity afforded by BB10 OS. The handset isn't withoutissues, though. It can be cumbersome to use due to its size;its...

Long battery life ; Versatile 8-megapixelcamera ; BB10 OS is a great productivity tool

Bulky compared to other5-inch phones ; Poor-quality display panel ; Outdated internals ; Weak app selection

Viewed in isolation, the BlackBerry Leap isn't a terrible device; there's just nothing particularly exciting about it. The design is unimaginative, largely borrowed from the lesser-known BlackBerry Z3, and its size can make it cumbersome to use at...

BlackBerry Leap review: Ditches the keyboard, but offers little for those who aren't BlackBerry fans

The BlackBerry Leap tries to appeal to younger businesspeople by forgoing a keyboard, but it lacks the app developer support it needs to stand out as a smartphone.

The BlackBerry Leap smartphone is a plain workhorse with BlackBerry's productivity and security pedigree.

The Amazon app store is missing many popular apps found on Google Play, or Apple's iOS app store.

The BlackBerry Leap ditches a physical keyboard to lure folks looking for a modern smartphone experience, but a lack of apps and a lackluster camera keep this device behind the competition.

BlackBerry Leap

For good or ill, the physical keyboard on BlackBerry's last few devices relegated those phones to a rather specific niche. But in striking out the platform's chief differentiator, we're left with a 5-inch touchscreen device with a meager camera that's...

BlackBerry Leap Review

Does BlackBerry still have what it takes to produce a smartphone worthy of standing out against the competition? Here is our review for the newest five-inch touch device simply called the Leap.

BlackBerry clearly has a solid performer in the Leap, and it clearly positions itself to be a productivity phone for those who want peace of mind for security and privacy. Solid, professional-looking build and design; its good performance despite...
